Women in Solar Initiative
GRID VOLUNTEER Wendy Campa showed up for her first day on the job at a major solar company in Coachella Valley, CA to discover that she would be her local team’s first female installer. Women like her are the reason GRID Alternatives launched a National Women in Solar Initiative this year, with major sponsorship from SunEdison, to bring more women into the solar industry and support them in their professional advancement. Solar jobs are growing by 20% a year, and women’s voices, talents and leadership are needed more than ever to build a strong and sustainable industry.
