Her&nbsp;parents still live just down the block, in fact.&nbsp; Her 20-year-old son wants to be a sports agent and her 12-year-old daughter, a cheerleading champion, dreams of becoming a veterinarian.&nbsp; Tyja is faced with high monthly bills and worries she may not be able to meet her children&#8217;s education expenses.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, May 3, GRID Alternatives, together with the philanthropic and volunteer support of Angeleno Group, installed a solar system for Tyja that will reduce her energy bills and enable her to start saving money immediately to invest in their futures.&nbsp; Tyja and her family knew very little about solar power before GRID came to her door.&nbsp; She now believes it is a wonderful way to combat the pollution that affects her city. Her 4.2KW solar system will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 120+ tons, the equivalent of planting over 2,800 trees. In addition to these environmental benefits, Tyja is looking forward to substantial cost savings: her solar system is projected to save up to $45,000 in energy costs over its lifetime.&nbsp; Tyja plans to use these savings to start a college fund.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/sites\/default\/files\/assets\/Greater%20LA%20Images\/InsertPhotoAngeleno%20(Medium).jpg\"
