Solar Richmond Partnership

We’re working with Solar Richmond to support green-collar jobs development through our Bay Area 1BOG campaigns.  If you’d like to get involved, a graduate of the Solar Richmond training program can assist with your upcoming installation and gain valuable work experience at the same time.

Interested in participating or learning more? Click here to email or call Brad Smith, our San Francisco 1BOG Solar Advisor.

For every tax-deductible donation a 1BOG participant makes (of $112) to Solar Richmond, both 1BOG and our installer partner will match it, donating $336 total. Graduates of the Solar Richmond training program will receive two days of hands-on training from our expert installers.
