This summer, 10 Novato families not only unlocked the front doors of their new homes with Habitat for Humanity, but they also unlocked solar savings on their utility bills.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mt. Burdell Place in Novato is Habitat for Humanity\u2019s first multi-family development in Marin County, an area known for both its natural beauty and record-breaking high housing costs, with current median single-family homes listed for $1.25 million. The 10 low-income families, many of which have called Marin home for decades and feared displacement, received the keys to their new homes at a special dedication ceremony this past July.<\/p>\n

The homes were built through thousands of volunteer hours and \u201csweat equity\u201d from the new homeowners. GRID was honored to be a part of the volunteer efforts to make Mt. Burdell Place a GreenPoint Rated development by installing a 2.7 kW solar system on each of the 10 homes. 9 of the homes were completed all in one day at our 2016 Solarthon with the help of over 130 volunteers!<\/p>\n

As if the relief of achieving homeownership wasn\u2019t enough, each home\u2019s solar system is also estimated to produce over $25,000 worth of clean energy over its lifetime.<\/strong> For the Camp\u2019s, one of the new families, these utility cost savings will serve as a critical source of financial stability as they celebrate their youngest son\u2019s remission from leukemia and get their family life back to normal.<\/p>\n

GRID thanks all of our hard-working community volunteers, corporate partners, and job trainees for their efforts in making rooftop solar the icing on the homeownership cake for these 10 Novato families.<\/strong><\/p>\n
