About SolarCity:

SolarCity, a national leader in solar power system design, financing, installation, monitoring and related services, was founded with the mission to help millions of homeowners and businesses adopt solar power, protect themselves from rising electricity costs and protect their environment from polluting power sources. The company’s first-of-its-kind SolarLease™ offering makes it possible for homeowners to switch to clean, solar power for typically less money than they currently pay for electricity. SolarCity currently serves more than 4,500 customers in California, Arizona and Oregon.
 
SolarCity (www.solarcity.com) was founded in mid-2006 by two successful entrepreneurs and funded by top-tier venture capital firms including JP Morgan and Draper Fisher Jurvetson (http://www.dfj.com/about/), and well-known investor Elon Musk. Revenues have scaled significantly during the past three years and SolarCity now enjoys a #1 market share position among residential solar installation providers in both California and Arizona.
 
SolarCity recently launched a portfolio of energy efficiency offerings alongside of its PV products. These offerings include but are not limited to home energy assessments, HVAC services (forced air systems, hydronic systems, heat pumps), plumbing and domestic hot water installations (tankless and high efficiency storage water heaters), building envelope improvements (insulation, weatherization, air sealing) and solar thermal packages (domestic hot water, space heating and pools).
