On May 21, 2016, UC Davis MBA Net Impact will sponsor and help install a solar electric system for a low-income family in the City of West Sacramento. The installation will be one of four installations taking place during the Solarthon. We have committed to raising $5000 in support of this event!

Solarthon is GRID Alternatives' flagship community installation event, a fundraiser and solar block party that brings together people from all walks of life - individual fundraisers, corporate sponsors, job trainees, community leaders and the homeowners themselves - to install multiple solar PV systems in one community.

GRID Alternatives is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to make renewable technology and job training accessible to underserved communities. This event will bring together 80 community members and volunteers to install 4 solar electric systems providing 14.87 kW - DC of clean renewable energy, estimated to save low-income homeowners $160,343 and prevent 329 tons of greenhouse gases from being emitted - that’s equivalent to planting 7,733 trees!
