With energy costs soaring with each season, consumers are seeking a cheaper alternative. Many are turning to solar.

"Solar is a more sustainable, cost-efficient energy solution," a press release reads.

Responding to a need, Astrum Solar, the leading full-service residential solar provider, has opened an office in Hopkinton. The office is expected to employ 20 to 25 people and will grow with demand.

Astrum Solar, a full-service residential solar provider, is among the industry’s market leaders with operations in a dozen states across the eastern United States. The company provides a premier customer experience by offering flexible purchase and leasing options and by facilitating every aspect of a customer’s seamless transition to solar electricity.
