Last September, Solar Energy International (SEI) Co-Founder Johnny Weiss and Noah Davis Manager of SEIs Solar In the Schools Program volunteered to help us install solar for 12 Habitat for Humanity in Lakewood along with some of SEI's past students. SEI and GRID are officially partnering in 2013 to bring training to GRID's volunteers and team leaders, provide extra hands-on and leadership experience to SEI students, and collaborate on new opportunities.
Solar Energy International is a non-profit educational organization that provides hands-on workshops and online courses in solar PV, wind, micro-hydro and solar hot water and works cooperatively with grassroots and development organizations in the Americas, Africa, Micronesia and the Caribbean. SEI, a long-time friend of GRID Alternatives, helped us with our early work in California. Now that we've set up shop in Colorado, it's time to take our relationship to the next level. Keep an eye out for more of our fun collaborations!
