Testimonials
A.B. Ford Community Center, Detroit, MI
“The City of Detroit - Office of Sustainability was able to advance the concept of resilient energy for the new A.B. Ford Community Center, in large part thanks to the solar feasibility study provided through Clean Energy Group's Technical Assistance Fund. The team provided expert guidance that helped us make informed decisions on system sizing and supported us with technical and financial viability for the project."

Maycroft Apartments, Washington, D.C.
"Jubilee Housing expresses its gratitude to Clean Energy Group for their grant, which not only allowed the organizations to create a first of its kind Resiliency Center at the Maycroft Apartments, but most importantly is channeling the benefits of solar+storage to low-income housing residents – who most severely feel the impact of energy outages."

California Indian Museum and Cultural Center, Santa Rosa, CA
“In serving our local tribal community, it is critical that we implement strategies that provide environmental and cultural resource protection and emergency response during wildfires and power outages. The grant facilitated support from local government officials and partnership organizations for the museum to become a designated resilience hub and generated capital funding from multiple federal and private sources.”

Petersburg Resilience Hub, Petersburg, VA
“From our first meeting, the CEG team has been supportive and provided guidance and resources to see us through the completion of a feasibility study to where we are now, on the brink of the actual solar PV installation. In addition, CEG has given us the opportunity to learn from and share our experience with others embarking on the solar+storage journey. We are fortunate to be in partnership with Clean Energy Group.”
