What it's like at GRID…

At GRID, we care about each other and know that each employee has a whole self that includes life outside of work. Our culture supports learning, growth and well-being of all of our team members.

About Solar Access for Nationwide Affordable Housing (SANAH), a Solar For All Program...

Funded and overseen by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) via the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), GRID Alternatives is leading an eight-organization team of mission-driven nonprofit affordable housing providers and clean energy allies to develop and implement the Solar Access for Nationwide Affordable Housing Program (SANAH). SANAH's nine partner organizations consist of: Habitat for Humanity International, NeighborWorks America, Enterprise Community Partners, National Housing Trust, Housing Partnership Network, LISC, Rewiring America, World Resources Institute.

SANAH is designed to maximize household and community benefits and advance justice while reducing unhealthy pollution and fostering energy reliability and economic prosperity. By providing financial assistance in the form of grants and incentives and connecting larger scale projects to loans — along with technical assistance from organizations with deep experience in equitable deployment of residential-serving renewable energy — SANAH will support equitable solar deployment for over 35,000 households living in single- and multifamily affordable housing across 29 priority states and territories to increase energy reliability in the United States.

Program benefits include expanded access to solar and energy storage for income-qualified households; energy savings and burden relief; energy efficiency and electrification co-benefits; job training and inclusive workforce development opportunities; support for American manufacturing; opportunities for small- and disadvantaged business enterprises; increased community and grid resilience; and community-centered engagement and participatory governance based on relationships of respect and trust. GRID Alternatives' SANAH program is currently under development with the EPA and partner organizations across the nation. The SANAH program is slated to launch by May 1, 2025 and will run through April 30, 2029. You can read more in GRID’s press release: https://gridalternatives.org/learn/press/press-releases/epa-awards-grid-alternatives-solar-all-grant.

SANAH builds on GRID’s experience over the last 20 years as the nation’s largest nonprofit solar energy provider, and Solar For All is modeled, in part, on programs and initiatives that GRID has helped to pioneer through its Energy For All Program, which brings solar and its benefits, including nearly $700m in savings to income-qualified households and families in tandem with nation-leading workforce development programming.
