Organization Overview
GRID Alternatives' vision is a successful transition to clean, renewable energy that includes everyone. 

GRID is a leading voice in low-income solar policy and the nation’s largest nonprofit solar installer, serving families throughout California, Colorado, the Mid-Atlantic region, and tribal communities nationwide. Our Energy For All Program (formerly Solar Affordable Housing Program) offers single-family, multifamily and community solar installation services, project development and technical assistance, and we offer multiple levels of workforce development and service learning opportunities, from volunteerism to in-depth solar training and paid internships. In addition, GRID’s international program partners with communities in Nicaragua, Nepal and Mexico to address their energy access issues. GRID continues to expand by applying our expertise in equity focused policy and program management to new opportunities which aim to benefit low-income and disadvantaged communities, including energy storage, resilience, clean mobility, electrification, fuel switching and other decarbonization technologies and practices.
