A bit about us…
Solar States was founded in 2008 based on the ideas found in Van Jones’ book, “The Green Collar Economy”. We are the on ramp for inner city residents looking to find jobs in the solar industry. As a result of our founding ethos we have a dual mission to install solar and educate the next generation of solar installers. After establishing our headquarters in Philadelphia, PA, we began installing solar for such institutions as the Community College of Philadelphia and Swarthmore College.
