GRID Alternatives

Hey GRID-land, Congress is deciding right now whether to protect or gut important solar policies like the Federal Solar Tax Credit. At GRID, we know that solar helps families and communities reduce harmful emissions and reduce the financial burden of energy costs. This isn’t about politics — it’s about real savings for everyday Americans. That’s why we're asking Congress to #savesolaraccess Raise your voice and join the push with Solar United Neighbors to ask your representatives to #savesolaracess today!
