groSolar Partners with 1BOG and Solar Richmond to Promote Green-Collar Jobs

   +     +    

groSolar, One Block Off The Grid (1BOG) and Solar Richmond are extending the current Bay Area 1BOG campaign to coincide with a pilot green jobs partnership. Together groSolar, 1BOG and local nonprofit Solar Richmond are offering members who purchase solar a unique opportunity to sponsor a green-collar worker. The opt-in program will provide green-collar graduates with two days of hands-on training, assisting groSolar's expert crew with 1BOG solar installations. To participate, members pay a small, tax-deductable donation of $112, which both 1BOG and groSolar match.

In the Bay Area, homeowners can go solar for as little as $0 down with SunRun solar financing. This means that you can have clean, affordable electricity at home without making a large upfront payment. You won’t have to dig deep into your savings to get started. Instead, you’ll pay for your solar power on a monthly basis, just like you do now, at a price that is probably less than your current costs.

Program Deadline: January 31, 2010

Price: $5.53 per watt installed from groSolar
