What Our Participants Say...
Patrick Isherwood
Self-Help Enterprises
Orosi
"For other property owners looking to work with SOMAH, the results are families here saying, 'I see the benefits of the solar panels.' SOMAH will put your mission to work, and you will see the direct benefits like at Sand Creek Apartments."
Maria Garcia
Tenant
Orosi
"The money savings makes us most excited, being able to save $50 a month will really help out. We'll be able to go on a family vacation, buy clothes."
Michael Ellis

Oakland
"The installation crew [on the SOMAH project] has been great with helping me learn more about the trade, every little thing, even just knowing what all the pieces of pipe are and what they are called."
