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.

states across the U.S. The company, part of NRG Home, is looking to hire
candidates in a range of positions and levels in locations around
