Energy savings from solar energy are something you can count on during uncertain times. We followed up with a few of our clients to see how solar energy has been helping them during the pandemic.<\/em><\/p>\n

Wade Watkins<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Before his solar system was installed three years ago, Mr. Watkins\u2019s monthly electricity bill used to be over one hundred dollars. With solar, his electric bill was $18 just two months ago! With the current pandemic, solar is helping keep electric costs down. \u201cI wish everybody could have solar, because I know it\u2019s doing me well – it could really help people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Matthew Bellomo<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Since his install a year ago, Matthew hasn\u2019t \u201cpaid one penny in electricity.\u201d The savings have been especially helpful during the pandemic. With the solar energy, his family is able to stay comfortable while at home all day and not worry about the cost. <\/p>\n

Jeff & Carol Danelek<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Jeff and Carol\u2019s monthly bills used to reach nearly $200. After the pandemic started, Jeff, a part-time art teacher, started to feel the financial strain. Fortunately, after an initial postponement due to the pandemic, GRID Colorado was still able to install his system with a three-person crew. \u201cI\u2019m expecting that this will reduce our bill pretty substantially,\u201d says Jeff.<\/p>\n

Sylvia Bautista<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Habitat employee and homeowner Sylvia received no-cost solar from GRID Alternatives ten years ago. Now working remotely, she is grateful for her solar energy. \u201cIf I didn\u2019t have the solar panels, I know I would struggle. But with COVID-19, and the solar panels, I\u2019m able to save,\u201d says Sylvia.<\/p>\n

We are still qualifying clients and safely installing solar on homes<\/a>! Refer<\/a> a friend, family member, or neighbor who you think may qualify for our programs.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
