GRID Alternatives installed a 3.6kW solar electric system for Javier and Martha Ayala with the help of Wells Fargo volunteers as part of the Greater Los Angeles Solarthon<\/a> event at a new Habitat for Humanity development in Lynwood on November 5th, 2011.<\/p>\n

Javier and Martha have been Lynwood residents for twenty years and were living in a two bedroom apartment in a high crime area with their five children before moving in to their new home. Javier works as a machinist, and Martha (pictured here, front row, third from right) volunteers to help at-risk youth and is passionate about helping to make a cleaner, healthier environment in her community.<\/p>\n

\u0093I love the idea of getting electricity from the sun!\u0094 says Martha Ayala. \u0093I have waited so long for the moment to see solar panels in my community and to now have them installed on my own home makes me very happy! \u0093<\/p>\n

\u0093Having a solar home changes my life in many ways,\u0094 Ms. Ayala adds. \u0093I am reducing my carbon footprint and sending a message that we can move away from fossil fuels to produce electricity. My family is learning how to conserve energy and think green.\u0094<\/p>\n

The Ayala\u0092s system will produce over 200,00 kWh of clean solar power over its lifetime, and will reduce over 100 tons of greenhouse gases, the equivalent of planting more than 300 trees. But their new solar electric system is bringing important economic benefits to the Ayala family as well.<\/p>\n

\u0093Saving money on our electricity bills will help us focus on other important expenses,\u0094 Martha Ayala says. \u0093I want to buy good healthy food for my family.\u0094<\/p>\n
