Growth complements NRG Energy’s broader
presence in California by opening new residential solar offices;
Offering Home Solar Loan for first time
NRG Home Solar, one of the country’s leading residential solar
offerings, today announced the opening of two new California
offices in Merced and San Diego, adding to the NRG footprint in the
state. These offices will add to existing presence and further
build on the company’s comprehensive energy operations around the
state including the recent expansion of the NRG eVgo electric
vehicle charging network. As part of the solar expansion, NRG Home
Solar plans to hire more than 100 new employees in order to support
its rapidly growing residential solar services in the Golden
State.
“As residential solar becomes increasingly attractive –
economically as well as environmentally – to California
homeowners, so does NRG's growing ability to provide
solar-driven home energy solutions to Californians seeking the many
benefits associated with generating most of your own energy cleanly
and quietly,” said David Crane, CEO of NRG Energy. “The
distributed clean energy movement is about personal
empowerment and playing your role in creating a sustainable future
and we believe that is the future that the vast majority of
Californians envision for themselves and their State.”
NRG Home Solar is also offering solar loans for the first time
to homeowners starting in California and expanding to other states.
The company now offers both leasing and loan programs, allowing
homeowners and NRG Home Solar customers to have wider finance
options as they look to install solar at home.
“We are excited to be rapidly expanding in a state like
California that is committed to solar growth and affordable home
energy solutions,” said Kelcy Pegler Jr., President of NRG Home
Solar. “This expansion allows us to meet growing consumer demand as
more and more California homeowners look to lock in lower energy
costs and reduce their carbon footprint with rooftop solar.”
NRG currently operates multiple utility-scale solar projects,
including some of the state’s largest photovoltaic fields and the
world’s largest solar thermal project, as well as fast-start
generating units that enable more renewable integration into the
power grid. The expansion of NRG Home Solar represents the
company’s latest move toward expanding the amount of solar power in
California and throughout the country.
NRG Home Solar is a leader in the residential solar industry in
several states across the U.S. The company, part of NRG Home, is
looking to hire candidates in a range of positions and levels in
