Sunrun has opened a new solar design engineering center in Irvine, Calif.
Sunrun says the Irvine facility will be an important resource for meeting consumer demand for solar. Once a homeowner decides to use solar power for their home, Sunrun collects their data and sends it to the design center.
The company expects the design center will generate at least 50 permanent jobs through 2015, ranging from system designers to technical support.
