SolarCity, the nation’s largest rooftop solar power provider, has signed on as the New York State Smart Grid Consortium‘s newest member. The NYSSGC is a public-private partnership devoted to statewide implementation of the smart grid. SolarCity employs more than 9,600 Americans, serving thousands of customers across 15 states, and specializes in solar installation for homeowners, businesses, schools, non-profits and government organizations.
