Crystal and William Brady of Oroville, CA are the proud new owners of a solar system thanks to GRID Alternatives, a team of local volunteers, and a helpful friend. <\/p>\n
Energy has been a big topic in the Brady household. While Crystal Brady is a stay at home mom of three, William Brady works hard for the Community Action Agency of Butte County leading eight teams to install energy efficiency and weatherization measures for other low-income households. Needless to say, the Brady\u0092s are energy efficient and conservative with energy use at home, but their utility costs are still very high. William has dreamed of adding solar to their home, but the cost was too prohibitive. After a friend received a solar system with GRID Alternatives, the Brady\u0092s looked into it for themselves. <\/p>\n
The Brady’\u0092s wanted to go solar for the same reason many of the other GRID homeowners wish to go solar: To help the environment while having a little more money at the end of each month. “\u0093Its a great program, and it\u0092s wonderful that its available to others in this community!\u0094” said Crystal. “\u0093Now all of our neighbors are wondering how to get one.\u0094” <\/p>\n
The Brady’\u0092s new 22 panel system will save them $47,268 over the life of the systems, and divert 148 tons of greenhouse gases from being released into the atmosphere! That is equivalent to taking 26 cars off the road for a year and planting more than 3490 trees!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
