Student teams representing both Independence and South High Schools collaborated with GRID Alternatives construction supervisors and team leaders in installing two 3 Kilowatt systems in the city of Lamont. Students were taught the basics of solar installation utilizing GRID\u2019s \u201cClassroom on the Roof\u201d model of learning. In all, 22 students participated in the two day installations. <\/p>\n<p>Tom Esqueda, Regional Director for GRID\u2019s Central Valley office stated that, \u201cGRID Alternatives is committed to working hand in hand with local school districts to provide training and educational experiences for high school students interested in pursuing careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math\u201d.
