American Solar Direct opens new office location in West Covina

SANTA MONICA, CA (03/31/2011)(readMedia)-- American Solar Direct Inc. (ASD) announced today the opening of a new office located in West Covina, California. This office is the third for the growing solar leasing company, which currently has offices in Santa Monica and the City of Industry.

ASD President Ravi Thuraisingham noted: "We are very fortunate to be expanding in the current economy. I believe ASD's growth is the result of providing affordable options that directly benefit both the environment and American families seeking to stabilize their energy costs."

California features a favorable regulatory environment for the solar industry, offering both reasonable rebates for solar conversion as well as net metering. Net metering allows homeowners to receive a credit for electricity produced by their solar PV systems that they feed back into the grid for general consumption.

"Moving east across the state offers ASD the opportunity to help more California residents understand the solar options available to them," commented ASD's CEO, Brennan Mulcahy. "We are pleased to offer families in cities such as Chino Hills, Rancho Cucamonga, and nearby Corona affordable alternative energy solutions."

ASD Recruiting Manager Thanh Nguyen had this to say about ASD's expansion: "ASD is thrilled to be able to offer opportunities to local residents hoping to make a global difference. If you know any passionate people who believe that solar should be affordable and available, send them our way."
