Partnership is central to GRID’s mission and how we deliver our services to communities. It takes local affordable housing providers, corporate sponsors, government agencies, and community-based organizations working together to bring solar power and solar jobs to the communities that need them most.

Community & Mission Partners

GRID connects with community-based organizations to reach neighborhoods that have the least access to clean energy and clean transportation and face the highest barriers to getting it. Together, we build solutions with community input, and share GRID’s institutional knowledge and financial resources so that clean energy benefits reach further.
