Grid is the nation's largest nonprofit installer of clean energy technologies, Grid develops and implements renewable energy projects that serve economic and environmental justice communities. Grid creates and installs solar projects that serve low-income households and communities, and is enabling these communities to access a variety of clean mobility and battery storage incentive programs. Through our unique, people-first model, we are putting money back into families' pockets, reducing the energy cost burden for housing providers, and jumpstarting clean energy careers. We partner with affordable housing organizations, job training groups, government agencies, municipalities, utilities, tribes and local communities to make clean energy a win for everyone. Grid 's program accomplishments include: no-cost solar installations, hand-on solar training, technical assistance and solar installation for multifamily affordable housing providers, community/shared solar project development and implementation, low income solar policy leadership, low income program design and implementation, energy access projects internationally and in u.s. tribal communities, and connecting low-income communities with electric vehicle programs.
