Berlyn installed an off-grid system on the Los Coyotes reservation alongside a client who was 9 months pregnant and going into labor. The client had her baby that night! Brandee talked about how much she enjoyed networking and camping with the women of GRID&#8217;s first ever Women in Solar Leadership Build and Retreat. Paige and Dylan talked about how proud they were to install &#8220;GRID&#8217;s largest system to date&#8221; &#8212; three times over! Their advice with the 2017 SolarCorps? &#8220;Make the most of your year &#8212; it&#8217;s what you make it.&#8221; Brandee is now GRID Colorado&#8217;s new Outreach Assistant, and Austin is the Tribal Program&#8217;s new Solar Installation Supervisor. Paige and Dylan will both be joining a local Colorado solar installer. <strong> To the Class of 2017 SolarCorps Fellows, Welcome! <\/strong>On the Colorado Team, the new SolarCorps Fellows are Nick Archer, Brittany Heller, and Miles Russell. Sitting in the Colorado office on GRID&#8217;s Tribal Program are Kristian Fragua and Nick Aberle. We hope that you will have an exciting, fullfilling, and challenging year as you navigate the solar industry with GRID.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"migrated-inline-image wp-image-4814\" src=\"https:\/\/live-grid-wp.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/CO-FC-Solarthon-2-Copy.jpg\" alt=\"Miles and Brittany take a photo with their volunteers on their first community solar array\" width=\"1919\" height=\"1440\"\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1919px) 100vw, 1919px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/live-grid-wp.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/CO-FC-Solarthon-2-Copy.jpg 1919w, https:\/\/live-grid-wp.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/CO-FC-Solarthon-2-Copy-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/live-grid-wp.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/CO-FC-Solarthon-2-Copy-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/live-grid-wp.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/CO-FC-Solarthon-2-Copy-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/live-grid-wp.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/CO-FC-Solarthon-2-Copy-1536x1153.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/live-grid-wp.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/CO-FC-Solarthon-2-Copy-1200x900.jpg 1200w\" \/><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many thanks to the 2016 Class of SolarCorps Fellows who devoted a year of service to GRID Colorado and the Tribal Program.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":3559,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[79],"tags":[],"audience":[],"content-type":[12],"focus-area":[],"region":[],"series":[],"content-author":[],"class_list":["post-3558","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-workforce-education","content-type-news"],"acf":{"hero_media_type":"image","hero_media_image":null,"hero_media_url":"","hero_media_poster":null,"hero_video_play":"inline","related_stories":null,"pattern_override":null,"story_callouts":null,"media":null,"featured_blog_post":null,"featured_event":null,"pdf_download":null,"blockquote":null,"author":null,"notice":null,"social_embed":null,"contact_card":null,"meta_details":null,"faq":null,"table":null},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Hello and Goodbye!
