GRID Alternatives San Diego
About GRID Alternatives San Diego
GRID Alternatives San Diego is a nonprofit solar organization serving the San Diego region with a mission to bring solar energy to low-income and underserved communities. The organization installs solar power systems for income-qualifying homeowners through its Get Solar program, partnering with the Energy for All program to make clean energy accessible to households that would otherwise be unable to afford it. GRID Alternatives San Diego also provides solar installation services for multifamily buildings, expanding clean energy access beyond single-family homes. Beyond installation, the organization operates robust workforce development programs, offering installation training for individuals seeking to enter the solar industry, including an Installation Basics Training Program with connections to job training partnerships and hiring opportunities in the clean energy sector. GRID Alternatives San Diego also runs clean mobility initiatives, including Clean Cars 4 All and Access Clean California, helping community members access cleaner transportation alongside clean energy. Community involvement is central to the organization's model — volunteers, corporate partners, and community members participate in solar installation days, gaining hands-on experience while expanding solar access. The organization accepts donations, corporate sponsorships, and memberships to fund its mission of bridging the solar divide and training the green workforce of tomorrow across the San Diego region.
