PITTSBURGH, Nov. 3, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- SolarCity Corp.
(NASDAQ: SCTY), America's #1 solar power provider, is expanding its
Western Pennsylvania presence with
a new 18,000 square foot operations center. State and local
officials toured the facility and celebrated new solar jobs and
clean energy options in the region. The new facility is SolarCity's
third operations center in the state—joining Norristown and Lancaster—and pushes the
company's Pennsylvania staffing to
more than 350. SolarCity expects to employ more than 125 people
when fully staffed at the Pittsburgh-area location.
"SolarCity's continued expansion across the state is good news
for Pennsylvania consumers and for
the environment. By using solar energy, homeowners and businesses
can save money on utility bills and reduce the production of
greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change," said
Lieutenant Governor Mike Stack.
SolarCity, which launched new service for Western Pennsylvania
in the spring, makes it possible for many Pennsylvania homeowners to install solar with
no upfront cost and pay as much as 20 percent less than they pay
for utility power, with installation, production guarantee,
monitoring and repair service included. The company also offers
solar services to small and medium-sized businesses, as well as
commercial and municipal customers in Pennsylvania.
SolarCity's new operations center means new solar jobs for the
state. SolarCity began hiring regional staff earlier this year and
has a range of additional open positions posted in sales,
installation and related roles. Candidates interested in employment
opportunities in Pittsburgh can

online jobs form at www.solarcity.com/jobs.
