Rose Salazar and her family live in Tulare, California, in GRID Alternatives’ Central Valley service area. Like many income-qualified households in the region, the Salazars qualified for a no-cost solar and battery storage system through GRID’s DAC-SASH program, with additional support from SCE’s Charge Ready Home program and SGIP’s equity budget.<\/span><\/p>\n

What stood out to Rose most was how smoothly the process went. She described being impressed that GRID’s team had everything lined up for inspection, without the long wait times she’d expected. The installation gave the Salazar household both solar panels and a Tesla Powerwall battery, pairing everyday savings with backup power.<\/span><\/p>\n

That battery storage does more than back up a few hours of power \u2014 it makes the Salazar home more resilient. As extreme heat, wildfires, and storms put growing strain on California’s grid, income-qualified households are often the most exposed to the outages that follow. With a battery paired with their solar system, the Salazars can keep essentials like lights, refrigeration, and medical equipment running when the power goes out around them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rose has since encouraged her own family members and friends to look into the program, telling them to \u201cat least give it a try and find out if you qualify or not.\u201d One of her friends was so inspired that they asked Rose for GRID\u2019s phone number \u2014 a word-of-mouth ripple that’s exactly the kind of community-driven growth GRID is built on.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":11930,"template":"","project-type":[100],"region":[63],"scale":[],"class_list":["post-11929","portfolio","type-portfolio","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","project-type-residential-solar","region-central-valley"],"acf":{"location":"Tulare, CA","deck":"A no-cost solar and battery system is saving the Salazar family money from day one \u2014 and Rose is already telling her friends and family to do the same.<\/span>","hero_image":11930,"details":[{"label":"Location","value":"Tulare, CA","feature":true},{"label":"Region","value":"Central California","feature":false},{"label":"Project Type","value":"Residential","feature":false},{"label":"Panels","value":"14","feature":true},{"label":"System Size","value":"5.67kW","feature":true},{"label":"Completed","value":"September 2025","feature":false},{"label":"Incentive Program","value":"DAC-SASH; SCE Charge Ready Home (CRH); SGIP equity budget","feature":false},{"label":"Annual Savings","value":"$1,753","feature":true},{"label":"Lifetime Savings","value":"$34,900","feature":true}],"pattern_override":"","sections":[{"acf_fc_layout":"gallery","module_spacing":"margin-spacing-large","anchor_title":"","anchor_id":"project-photos","background":"","program_palette":"","heading":"Project Photos","images":[11931,11932]},{"acf_fc_layout":"value_props","module_spacing":"margin-spacing-large","anchor_title":"","anchor_id":"","style":"split","layout":"image-left","background":"","program_palette":"","images":null,"image":null,"eyebrow":"","heading":"What we brought to the project","description":"","props":[{"icon":{"source":"library","icon":"architecture","image":"0"},"icon_2":null,"label":"System Design & Engineering","description":"GRID designed a paired solar and battery system for the home: 14 solar panels and a Tesla Powerwall 3 battery.\r\n"},{"icon":{"source":"library","icon":"assignment","image":"0"},"icon_2":null,"label":"Program Administration & Outreach","description":"GRID Alternatives Central Valley outreach staff member connected with the Salazar family and guided them through the no-cost solar and battery storage application process.\r\n"},{"icon":{"source":"library","icon":"build","image":"0"},"icon_2":null,"label":"Permitting & Construction","description":"GRID's installation team completed the install between June and September 2025.\r\n"},{"icon":{"source":"library","icon":"rule","image":"0"},"icon_2":null,"label":"Incentive Administration","description":"GRID secured DAC-SASH, SCE Charge Ready Home, and SGIP equity budget incentives, making the system available to the Salazar family at no cost."}],"fine_print":""}],"project_cta":{"layout":"image-left","heading_style":"display","intro":"","heading":"","description":"","button":"","image":""},"media":null,"featured_blog_post":null,"featured_event":null,"pdf_download":null,"blockquote":null,"author":null,"notice":null,"social_embed":null,"contact_card":null,"meta_details":null,"faq":null,"table":null},"yoast_head":"\nThe Salazar Family - GRID Alternatives<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Rose Salazar and her family live in Tulare, California, in GRID Alternatives' Central Valley service area.
