Sunvalley Solar, Inc., a leading solar power technology and solar system integration company, announces a statewide partnership with GRID Alternatives to provide solar solutions to low income families in California.
Since 2001, GRID Alternatives has been working to bring the power of solar electricity and energy efficiency to low-income homeowners, and to provide community members with training and hands-on experience with renewable energy technologies. Recently GRID Alternatives became the Program Manager for the Single-family Affordable Solar Homes (SASH) Program, a California Solar Initiative program, which is funded by California ratepayers under the auspices of the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). SASH is the country’s first solar incentive specifically for low-income families. As a strategic partner of GRID Alternatives, Sunvalley Solar is providing variants of solar system solutions to GRID Alternatives to support the SASH program.
On June 12th, GRID Alternatives successfully hosted their first annual Greater Los Angeles Solarthon, installing eight solar electric systems for low-income homeowners in the wonderful neighborhood of Piru in Ventura County, helping the families save on their electricity bills for decades to come, and promoting renewable energy for a cleaner environment. As strategic partner of GRID Alternatives, Sunvalley Solar attended this great even as a sponsor, and also provided solar equipment for the homes.
“Many thanks to all of our corporate sponsors and partners including Sunvalley Solar, Inc. for this fabulous event,” said Tim Sears, Program Director and Co-Founder of GRID Alternatives. “Preferred providers like Sunvalley Solar are helping us to decrease costs on high quality solar equipment that we use to make our vision into a reality.”
