Programmatic Partners

Every GRID Alternatives project is a community project. Homeowners, volunteers, local organizations and businesses, corporations and municipalities as well as generous donors all pitch in to get the job done.

Local Governments

By partnering with GRID Alternatives San Diego, local governments are helping reduce and stabilize long-term housing costs for low income-residents, preventing local greenhouse gas emissions to meet targets under AB32 and providing hands-on green job training opportunities for local workers. For every dollar invested by San Diego jurisdictions and private donors, GRID Alternatives brings six dollars of state solar rebate money to the table. Current and past partners have utilized Community Development Block Grants, fee-for-service contracts, low-cost loans and local solar rebate programs to support GRID's work in their communities.
