3 weeks left before our Solar Spring Break!
Hello everyone, thank you all so much for all your support for our project! Our team is super grateful for and in such awe at everyone's generosity and commitment to our cause.
We have an update: combining all of our platforms together (on-campus bake sale, sponsorships, etc.), we are actually about 75% of our way through our goal! However, we do need exactly $10,000 in order to participate in this program with GRID Alternatives, and we will be continuing our crowdfunding on a different platform after this page closes in a few days. Here it is: https://donate.gridalternatives.org/campaign/uc-berkeley-solar-spring-break-2020/c258384
Again, thank you all so much for your contribution and keeping up with our project.

Attend & sit in a decal class
Opportunity to sit in and meet the team if you want to in one of our DeCal (student-taught) classes and see what we're learning about outside of the worksite! We cover a wide range of topics relating to solar power, from the technical side of solar technology and how panels actually work to the social side of environmental justice. This wide scope allows us to provide a holistic view of solar power and the solar industry for our students.

Writing on a Solar Panel
Get your name and/or a message written on the back of a solar panel before installation. We’ll send you a picture of it! (The backs of the solar panels we use are flat and white, and writing on them does not affect their performance at all. Last year, our team signed our names on the last one before we installed it!)
