"Today we're going to be installing 19 kilowats of solar energy and that's going to save $171,000 dollars of value for the home owners over the lifetime of these solar system," said Steve Fernandez, Regional Director GRID Alternatives.
"Grid Alternatives" teamed up with "Self -Help Housing," and several other sponsors to solarize the homes. The hope to install panels on all 25 homes of the neighborhood.
