Calling all Volunteers! Community Solarthon Opportunities Available

On May 29th and 30th, GRID Alternatives and Grand Valley Power will continue their strong and unprecedented partnership while installing the first-ever community solar array dedicated 100% to low-income subscribers. Community Solar projects are large scale, ground-mounted photovoltaic system brought about through partnerships with local utility companies. By increasing the size of the solar systems GRID volunteers install, we will better be able to serve greater numbers of clients by reducing qualifications and increasing energy output. To ensure this projects success, we are calling upon you to join us on site! GRID has set aside a limited number of volunteer shifts with no donation required for community members and solar advocates- to reserve your spot on this exciting project, sign up through the Volunteer Portal. These opportunities will be posted directly to the Volunteer Portal on Wednesday, May 6th at exactly 10:00AM. GRID is currently seeking both Event and Construction Volunteers to assist during the two day installation.
