Simple. Local. Solar.

No two business models are exactly the same. Each business is a unique system, and the gears of seemingly similar systems can be found to be very different when the hood is popped and the operations inspected.

In 2008, not long after we’d heard Van Jones speak about the coming Green Collar Economy at the Academy of Natural Sciences, we launched with a dual-mission to educate and install. We knew that, in order to accomplish our objective of making the rise of solar a benefit to ALL in our communities, we had to design a business model that wasn’t industry standard.

Below is a quick overview of this model, and the outputs it has produced for our diverse array of communities in the Philadelphia region. This model is impossible without long-term, healthy partnerships with local institutions and community leaders. We’ve had A LOT of help along the way.

Solar is coming. Our concern is “how will it come?”. As you’ll see below, every new installation with Solar States fuels free education programs, local hiring, outstanding employee benefits and treatment, local advocacy, and access to solar for low-moderate income residents. Our success is everybody’s success.
