Our construction team has been working hard on installing a 108 kW solar system on SagePointe, a three-story, 56-unit apartment community in the Wilmington neighborhood of Los Angeles. he new complex is for seniors 55 and older who have experienced homelessness and need stable housing with supportive services. The 243 solar panels will bring an expected $540,000 in net lifetime savings. 

GRID Staff attended The Zero Emissions Ride and Drive Event, hosted by the Harbor Trucking Association and the Port of Long Beach. CALSTART, a partner in the event, is also GRID GLA’s partner on a project called eTRUC-RHETTA we began work on this past spring.

Combat veteran Juan J. Bran talks about his time as a US Army paratrooper serving in Afghanistan, re-entering civilian life with war injuries, and rebuilding for himself and his family through programs like Homes 4 Families and solar installed by GRID GLA.

This week we gathered with our friends and partners at the LGBTQ Center Long Beach as they powered-on their 54-panel, 17.280 kW Solar System, which will provide $240,000 in lifetime savings to the center. The money saved can empower The Center to invest in other lifesaving programs and services to the local LGBTQIA+ Community.

The event had 40 participants attending, 6 employers presenting, and 15 pending employment offers as a result. The fair was hosted at Terasaki Budokan, a nonprofit multipurpose sports and activities center in downtown LA (and also one of our commercial clients, having received rooftop solar through GRID GLA in 2019).
