A Blythe resident himself, Manuel embraced the idea of some hands-on experience. \u201cI was taking solar classes at the time,\u201d he explained, \u201cand I was happily surprised to have the chance to work side-by-side with professionals.\u201d He enjoyed the experience so much he went on to install systems for two other neighbors in Blythe with GRID\u2019s partner subcontractors. \u201cThe installations were invaluable in turning abstract concepts I had learned in school into something concrete.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>In 2016, seeking solar panels of his own, Manuel requested quotes from several solar companies. He reached out to a GRID solar installation supervisor (SIS) who trained him for advice on selecting a contractor. The SIS advised Manuel to call GRID to see if he would qualify for his own o-cost system. Manuel submitted his application and was soon approved. \u201cAfter working as a volunteer, working with GRID\u2019s subcontractors, then finding out I qualified for GRID\u2019s program, my choice was obvious.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Manuel is proud to be one of the 52 homeowners with GRID systems in Blythe. Take a few minutes today and call to see if you qualify.
