The morning August sun bounced off Alex\u2019s helmet as he climbed a ladder in the narrow canyon between two homes in Lincoln Heights. At 9:30 a.m. on a normal Wednesday, Alex would be beginning his day working in tech at Accenture. <\/p>\n

At 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday, August 21, Alex stopped at the top of the ladder and was clipped onto a fall arrest system. He strode over a small parapet onto the roof and began a day of volunteer work installing solar panels with GRID Alternatives Mid-Atlantic. <\/p>\n

Two of Alex\u2019s co-workers at Accenture, Tolu and Molly, joined him up on the roof shortly after. Tolu had never participated in an install before, though Alex and Molly had previously worked on GRID Mid-Atlantic installations before. <\/p>\n

By the end of the day, the trio had played a key role in finishing the installation of a 16-panel solar energy system for the Andrews family. All three spent significant time on the roof, providing support to lift the modules, properly manage electrical wires, lay and secure modules to the rails, and eventually connect the modules to the converter and AC disconnect panels on the ground.<\/p>\n

The system on the Andrews family household was funded by the DC Sustainable Energy Utility, the District\u2019s Solar For All program, and Accenture \u2014 it came at no cost to the Andrews family itself. The 4.5-kilowatt system is expected to save the Andrews family more than $700 in utility costs per year and nearly $17,000 over the life of the system. Its environmental impact is the equivalent of taking 18 cars off the road for a year or planting 2,237 trees.<\/p>\n

Solar for All, a program of the District of Columbia\u2019s Department of Energy and Environment, was established by the Renewable Portfolio Standard Expansion Amendment Act of 2016. It seeks to provide the benefits of solar electricity to 100,000 low-income households and reduce their energy bills by 50% by 2032. <\/p>\n
