Amazing non-profit providing free solar installations to low-income families. One of my favorite experiences was climbing on-top of a San Diego rooftop as an intern while still a student at UCSD to help install solar panels.
A top-notch organization doing great things advocating solar for the masses.

Have long wished to go solar -- it's the right thing to do -- but being low income I feared it may remain just a dream. Then GRID Alternatives began working in Richmond. I live in a large mutual homes corporation, we're on the National Register of Historic Places, our units are diminutive, and we had lots of red tape and hurdles which slowed down, for years actually, our ability to take advantage GRID's offer of FREE solar arrays to qualifying home owners. But thankfully GRID stuck with us through all that. And now we're going solar, for FREE. In my fourplex we all qualified and in September GRID's big crew of lead solar installers, techs from other areas being trained, and volunteers came and in two days hooked us up with an elegant block of twenty panels (five each). We put on a festive lunch for them out in the courtyard, it was a special day of team work. Yes, there followed a few weeks of waiting for inspectors, and for PG&E to honor their commitment to setting up our accounts with net-metering. But it all happened, and the four of us in my building are thrilled to be generating electricity. We stand out there and admire our arrays and can hardly believe it! GRID Alternatives has put together a great program and I urge you to check it out for yourselves!

We installed solar with Grid Alternatives and it was amazing. They came and installed the solar in 4-5 hours and left. Everyone was friendly. I got solar on for free and they took no money. Now my PG&E Bill is only $5 a month. They are easy to contact and respond right away. 3 of our things burned out. We then contacted them and they ordered the parts for the solar. When we told them that the parts have arrived they came the next day and fixed it up. Thanks to Grid Alternatives we are having a very low Electric Bill. I would recommend Grid Alternatives to everyone!!!!
