SunPower, a global solar technology and energy services provider, today announced a new multi-year commitment to nonprofit
GRID Alternatives, the nation's largest nonprofit solar installer. Under the partnership, SunPower will donate more than two megawatts of high efficiency solar panels over a three-year period. The commitment will provide enough solar to help power approximately 550 homes and will also provide job training in underserved communities.
SunPower's investment will also support GRID Alternatives' Solar Futures program, which provides both classroom and hands-on solar training to K-14 students, with a focus on high school juniors and seniors. GRID Alternatives has been providing solar training for high school students in California since 2010, and SunPower's support is helping to expand that work nationally.
