The Bishop Paiute Tribe partnered with GRID Alternatives once again to bring clean energy to income-qualified renters in a 24-unit affordable housing and sober living community. The project extends solar savings to renters, a group that’s often left out of the benefits of going solar.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 49 kW system is projected to save the community about $500,000 over the life of the system, with each household saving upwards of $600 a year. As part of the project, GRID trained 6 tribal members, building local clean energy skills alongside the installation. The system also helps make the local electric grid more resilient and lowers the risk of blackouts, while cutting 973 tons of greenhouse gas emissions.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is GRID’s second partnership with the Bishop Paiute Tribe, continuing a relationship focused on extending the benefits of solar to renters and Tribal communities.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":9954,"template":"","project-type":[60,99],"region":[16],"scale":[],"class_list":["post-9949","portfolio","type-portfolio","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","project-type-commercial-solar","project-type-tribal-projects","region-southern-california"],"acf":{"location":"Bishop, CA","deck":"The Bishop Paiute Tribe partnered with GRID once again to extend solar savings to renters in affordable housing.<\/span>","hero_image":9954,"details":[{"label":"Location","value":"Bishop, California","feature":false},{"label":"Region","value":"Southern California","feature":false},{"label":"Project Type","value":"Commercial & Multifamily","feature":false},{"label":"Panels","value":"159","feature":true},{"label":"Units\/Homes Served","value":"24 units (affordable housing and sober living community)","feature":true},{"label":"System Size","value":"49 kW","feature":true},{"label":"Completed","value":"March 2023","feature":false},{"label":"Partner","value":"Bishop Paiute Tribe","feature":false},{"label":"Incentive","value":"Solar on Multifamily Affordable Housing (SOMAH)","feature":false},{"label":"Annual Savings","value":"$600\/household per year","feature":false},{"label":"Lifetime Savings","value":"$500,000","feature":true},{"label":"Metric Tons CO2 Mitigated","value":"973","feature":false}],"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":[9951,9952,9953,9954]},{"acf_fc_layout":"testimonial","module_spacing":"margin-spacing-large","anchor_title":"","anchor_id":"","style":"panel","layout":"image-left","alignment":"align-center","color":"tea-green","background":"","program_palette":"","composition":"portrait","quote_size":"large","eyebrow":"","heading":"","button":null,"quote":"","name":"","caption":"","image":null,"quotes":[{"quote":"\u201cThe benefit to our tribe is the opportunity for our tribal members to have savings on their electricity bill, and I encourage any tribes who may be interested in going after the same type of funding and opportunity to bring it to their community and their tribal members.\u201d\r\n","name":"Meryl Picard","caption":"Chairwoman, Bishop Paiute Tribal Council","video":"","image":9950}]},{"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 Bishop Paiute Tribe Project","description":"","props":[{"icon":{"source":"library","icon":"architecture","image":"0"},"icon_2":null,"label":"System Design & Engineering","description":"GRID designed and installed the 49 kW solar system serving the 24-unit community."},{"icon":{"source":"library","icon":"request_quote","image":"0"},"icon_2":null,"label":"Incentive Administration","description":"GRID secured Tribal SOMAH funding to make the project possible.
