A bit about us…
Solar States is 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. We have completed over 800 projects for residential and commercial clients, impacted hundreds of students through our curriculum and job placement, and hired a number of these students ourselves.
