Georgia residents soon will have an additional option when it comes to their source of electricity, as POWERHOME SOLAR is announcing its expansion into the Peach State. This is the 12th state in POWERHOME SOLAR’s footprint, with the company opening sales and installation offices in the northern suburbs of Atlanta.

As one of the fastest-growing American companies to specialize in solar energy and energy-efficiency services, POWERHOME SOLAR plans to hire up to 100 employees in the coming months to support the sales and installation functions. The new sales office will be located at 6230 Shiloh Rd., Suite 105, in Alpharetta, and the installation office will be 4374 Shallowford Industrial Parkway in Marietta.

Open interviews will be held March 2-3 for warehouse, installer, electrician and CDL driver positions at the Marietta location from 8 a.m.-4 p.m. No prior experience for installers is necessary as the company offers on-the-job training.

Georgians have the eighth-highest average electric bill in the U.S., per 2019 figures from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, giving consumers in the state good reason to consider adding solar. Solar panels can be financed (in some cases, for roughly the same cost as your electric bill), and once the financing ends, so does your payment for solar.

“We’re excited to offer Georgia residents a supplement to grid energy,” said POWERHOME SOLAR CEO Jayson Waller. “Solar is an investment in your future. Homeowners and business owners deserve to own their power. Expanding into Georgia means offering consumers a way to potentially cut costs on their electric bill, as well as reducing their carbon footprint through a renewable energy source.”

Not only can investing in solar energy potentially increase residential property value, current tax credits reinforce that solar energy is a sound decision. Congress recently extended a federal solar tax credit of up to 26 percent on newly-installed solar systems through 2021 and 2022.
