ANNAPOLIS JUNCTION, Md., Aug. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- With 50 percent more sunshine per day than Germany, the world leader in solar installations, Ohio is proving to be the next best place to go solar. Responding to the growing demand of Ohio and Western Pennsylvania energy consumers aspiring to become clean energy producers, Maryland-based solar panel system installer Astrum Solar (www.astrumsolar.com), today announced that it has opened an office in Youngstown, Ohio.

Astrum Solar, a multi-state installer of residential and small commercial solar panel systems in the Eastern United States began selling solar systems in northeastern Ohio area in April to better service the region's growing customer base. Astrum Solar has installed hundreds of solar systems in 2010 and is on pace to complete over 500 new installations in Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Washington D.C.

Astrum Solar is already one of the largest residential solar panel system installers in Pennsylvania and the Youngstown office will bolster Astrum Solar's ability to serve homeowners throughout the region from Toledo to Pittsburgh.

"We are thrilled to have expanded into Ohio, where the highly skilled workforce will be instrumental in meeting the increasing demand of residents who want to pursue energy independence by using their own homes to generate clean energy," said Astrum Solar President Vadim Polikov, PhD.

In addition to being a leading solar panel system installer in the eastern U.S., Astrum Solar also is one of the region's largest aggregators of Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SRECs).
