This latest expansion continues a period of steady growth for American Solar Direct as homeowners recognize the affordability of leasing solar panels, the benefits of energy independence and the end-to-end customer care offered by ASD. Adding to highly successful regional offices in Irvine, Woodland Hills, Santa Monica, Industry and West Covina, the Santa Clara location will be the sixth for American Solar Direct in California.

"With this announcement today, American Solar Direct further extends its unique program of in-home consultation and education, personalized analyses, quality installations, long-term customer service and affordable leasing," said Brennan Mulcahy, CEO of American Solar Direct. "We are one of the fastest growing solar companies because consumers are recognizing the distinct advantages of selecting American Solar Direct."

Building on successful sales offices in Southern California, the launch of an office in Santa Clara allows American Solar Direct to better meet the solar demand of the residents of San Jose and the entire Silicon Valley; San Francisco, Oakland and the rest of the San Francisco Bay region; and Modesto, Stockton and south into Monterey.

"The Santa Clara team is very qualified to serve customers in this region. We select and train the very best certified installers, electricians, team leaders and customer service representatives," said Geoff Atkins, ASD's Chief Marketing and Strategy Officer. "As with our other offices, Northern California homeowners who select American Solar Direct will enjoy a personalized customer service experience focused on education and complete satisfaction."

American Solar Direct is unique in that it provides all services, including long-term system maintenance and financing, directly from the company.

"We are committed to having a long-term relationship with our customers. Once you make American Solar Direct your solar provider of choice, we are here with you for many years," Mulcahy said.

While solar is very popular in California because of attractive lease options and continued government support through rebates and other financial incentives, American Solar Direct finds homeowners still have questions.

"From the start, we placed an emphasis on customer education. Long before an installation agreement is signed, we spend considerable time at a customer's home to provide them as much information as they need," Atkins said. "Through our high quality service, homeowners quickly realize the benefits of reduced energy costs through solar."

The Santa Clara office is located at 4633 Old Ironsides Drive, Suite 320, Santa Clara, CA 95054.
