GRID Alternatives staff will guide you through all of the steps to see if you qualify for the SASH Program, just give us a call!
1. Your first step is to call GRID Alternatives toll-free at (866) 921-4696 or e-mail sash@gridalternatives.org to coordinate a pre-screening phone conversation. You can also contact your local GRID Alternatives office.
2. If after the pre-screen, you seem to qualify for the SASH Program, GRID Alternatives will set up a meeting in your home to discuss the details of the SASH Program, complete an application, and answer any questions. The application will include the following:
-
Completed SASH Application
-
Copy of previous year's federal income tax return
-
Copy of most recent electricity bill
-
Proof of homeownership
-
Proof that the residence meets the affordable housing requirement of California Public Utilities Code 2852
Your home will also undergo an energy audit at this time, to identify energy usage improvements that can be made before the PV solar system installation. Click here for more information about energy efficiency...
3. If your application is approved, GRID Alternatives will schedule a construction visit to determine if the roof, sunlight exposure and house direction are suitable for a PV-solar installation. If the site is appropriate, a system will be designed for your home.
4. If you decide to proceed with the solar installation, GRID Alternatives will schedule the installation. After the system installation is complete, the system must be inspected and the utility interconnected before the system becomes operational.
5. You start saving energy and money using your new solar electric system!
The entire process will be explained in detail when you speak with a GRID Alternatives representative. Call or email us today!
