Federal Recognition

OUR SUCCESSES IN CALIFORNIA and beyond have positioned us as a national leader in low-income solar. GRID Alternatives was recognized by the White House this year as a “Champion of Change” for solar deployment, and several top Administration officials, including EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy and HUD Secretary Julián Castro have participated in our events. We also made a public commitment to the Obama administration this year to help install 100 MW of solar in underserved communities in the next 10 years, and are consulting with HUD on meeting the Obama administration’s own goal of 100 MW of solar on Federally assisted housing.
