Rosemary and her sisters live together in a warm home filled with lots of food and laughter in Chula Vista. In September 2023, we installed no-cost solar on their home, to help drastically lower energy bills.

Bringing clean energy solutions to our communities makes us😃.

[Enphase Energy @Enphase]

Our latest volunteer install day with @GRID was nothing short of inspiring! The #Enphase team joined forces to help install a 5.27 kW-DC solar #energysystem for the Hernandez family in San Pablo, CA.

This system will bring incredible benefits:
💰 $22,993 in lifetime savings for the family
🌱 77 tons of #greenhousegases reduced
🌳 The environmental impact of planting 1,783 trees

At Enphase, we’re proud to support projects that create meaningful, lasting change for families and communities. A huge thank-you to #GRIDAlternatives and everyone who participated in making this day a success! Together, we’re building a brighter, more sustainable future.
