I think you would be interested in knowing about GRID Alternatives. They are a non-profit organization that installs solar systems on low income homes. The homes must be owned and occupied by the homeowners, and they are interested in installing solar systems in Mendocino and Lake County. On April 29 th 2011 they installed 4 solar systems in homes built through our Self-Help program in Lake County 5 years ago.
GRIDs’ outreach person is Sarah Shimmin. Contact info below. They want to install 6000 new systems over the next couple of years in CA and really want to install more in Northern CA. Please help me get the word out and check out their website at: http://www.gridalternatives.org/sash/single-family-affordable-solar-homes-program
Because of the high cost of solar, low income families don't have a chance to participate. This program makes it work for them. Most of the solar systems are free to the homeowner and are warranted by the organization and manufacture.
Go green, go solar!

Keep Your Home California Program
The Keep Your Home California
is designed to help low-and moderate-income homeowners retain their homes
if they have suffered a financial hardship such as unemployment, have
experienced a death in the family, or a major disability. The homeowners
must own and occupy the home as their primary residence, and meet income
limits.
