I met a guy who works at this fantastic SF Nonprofit that brings solar power to lower income neighborhoods among other things.
GRID Alternatives works collaboratively with communities and local organizations to identify specific needs and to develop renewable energy solutions that are environmentally, socially and economically sustainable. Their vision of sustainable development centers on community involvement, and their focus and expertise lies in using renewable energy and energy efficiency to provide solutions to the challenges facing low-income individuals and families, in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond.
