Consumer Demand for Energy Choice Drives Growth of Three-Year Old Business
New Orleans, La. — PosiGen Solar Solutions announced today that it has installed more than 5,000 residential solar systems in Louisiana making the three year old company the 4th largest residential solar company in the nation.
“This is not just an historic achievement for this young company,” said Thomas Neyhart, CEO of PosiGen. “It is a testament to what a positive business model can do in a short period of time. It also speaks clearly to anyone willing to listen that people want choices in their electricity providers."

PosiGen also recently expanded into Connecticut and New York and expects to enter two additional states by the end of 2015.
“I love talking about how our growth is great for the company, and for the reputation of New Orleans and Louisiana, but honestly, this is great news for families where we operate,” said Aaron Dirks, chairman of PosiGen. “Thousands of customers in Louisiana as well as a growing number in Connecticut and New York are accessing solar and enjoying more energy efficient homes. By saving on their utility bills, these families will have more money in their pockets to buy the things they need and want.
