At our appreciation party, those with over 300 volunteer hours under their belt were honored with certificates of appreciation. A few of our most dedicated, like Team Leaders Willie and Cliff (pictured here) &#8211; who have an astonishing 1700 volunteer hours between them &#8211; also received stylish customized hardhats!<\/p>\n<p>Volunteers are the backbone of GRID\u0092s work &#8211; the 3300+ solar electric system installations GRID has installed to date simply could not have happened without them. So to all of the volunteers out there we say<em> thank you<\/em><em>!<\/em> Thank you for giving your time and energy, for always bringing your best to the job site and for helping us install solar for those who need it most.<\/p>\n<p>Interested in becoming a GRID volunteer?
