As GRID\u2019s partnership with the Bishop Paiute Tribe<\/a> under the Department of Energy grant continues to roll out, more tribal members are taking advantage of GRID\u2019s workforce training program. Five of these members included local youth who became the newest addition to GRID\u2019s Solar Futures<\/a> program. Participants enjoyed a specialized orientation and a week packed full of installations. \u201cIt was fun and educational,\u201d said Eric Eddy, one of three brothers who joined the program. \u201cThe classroom sessions had a lot of information and it felt good to install to help out our lower-income families.\u201d Eric has worked as a maintenance technician for the Tribe, and after working side-by-side with GRID staff, is excited to learn more about green energy and pursue a career in solar.<\/p>\n

Four systems were built over the course of five days, totaling nearly 15kW DC of power. The volunteers\u2019 hard work and dedication is expected to offset over 280 tons of greenhouse gases (equivalent to planting over 6,500 trees) and save the tribal households over $137,000 in energy costs over the system\u2019s lifetime. These are the latest families to join GRID\u2019s Tribal Program<\/a>, an organization-wide initiative to help provide opportunities for green technology and education to tribes across the nation.<\/p>\n
