Three solar companies turned Jan Phillips down before she found GRID Alternatives. \u201cNobody would help me because my bills weren\u2019t deemed high enough,\u201d Ms. Phillips says — she uses as little energy as possible to try and keep her carbon footprint low. \u201cI tried explaining to these companies that it isn\u2019t all about money, that I want to do the right thing for our planet.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ms. Phillips\u2019 environmental motivations weren\u2019t motivation enough for local solar contractors and she continued using as little energy as possible, until a GRID representative at a local arts event explained that she might qualify for a no-cost system with us. \u201cI couldn\u2019t believe it, everything about it was incredible, it sounded too good to be true.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now Ms. Phillips is the proud owner of a 16 panel solar electric system. She has turned the heating on in her home and it feels good. \u201cI can use things now, because I have the sun helping me out!\u201d<\/p>\n

Ms. Phillips is a writer and social activist<\/a>; the author of 12 books and a regular HuffPost blogger, she says she is excited to start getting the word out about GRID. \u201cYou guys should be swamped with applications, this is all so good!\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
