Her requirements for starting a new career included two things: 1) it needed to be an up-and-coming industry with room for growth, and 2) it needed to be something she would be passionate about. Carmen began volunteering in June 2011 after learning about GRID Alternatives in her solar training program. She has gained over 630 hours of hands-on solar experience and is a Certified Roof and Ground Team Leader. In 2012 Carmen worked on a utility -scale solar project and is currently employed full-time by a local solar company. She credits her experience on GRID projects for her employment success!
