Pros

The recognition given to the employees, for their hard work as well as felling of inclusion to the company.

Cons

Long hours and working in the weather, that comes as a tradesperson.

Diversity is one of our strongest values, and it is important to us that we work directly with people from the communities we serve. We strive to provide our employees an inclusive environment where they feel comfortable being themselves, as that is when we do our best work.

Veterans: We value your service and share your values

In the military, you did great work and had opportunities to make a real difference. At PosiGen, we are committed to making our world a better place through the positive environmental impact of solar and energy efficiency solutions while also putting money back in our customers' pockets so they can provide more for their families.

LGBTQ Employees: We are you and support you

At PosiGen, we work to make all of our LGBTQ employees feel safe, welcome and respected for who they are and the incredible work they do.

Gender and Racial Equity

Our employees are the most valuable asset we have. The collective sum of the individual differences, life experiences, knowledge, inventiveness, innovation, self-expression, unique capabilities and talent that our employees invest in their work represents a significant part of not only our culture, but our reputation and company’s achievement as well.

How we look does not define who we are, but the experiences we bring shape our thoughts, beliefs, and ideas. We embrace and encourage our employees' differences and other characteristics that make our employees unique. The diversity in our workforce, in terms of both gender and race, make us stronger than ever. When we embrace our differences, we are able to make a greater impact than ever before.

About Us

WHAT WE DO

PosiGen is working to implement solar power for all. We want solar to be affordable and easy to access, especially for underserved communities. By making solar more accessible through our solar leasing program, we are making it possible for families in these communities to invest in their homes, reduce energy costs, and take steps toward a brighter future. 

Mission & Vision

We are making a difference in our communities and our world with solar power. By ensuring that families in low-to-moderate income areas have access to affordable solar power, we can support PosiGen’s four primary goals:

  • Make a positive impact on the families we serve
  • Provide job opportunities to the communities we serve
  • Support growth in underserved communities
  • Make a difference in our environment
History

PosiGen was founded in 2011 with one simple goal: give low and middle income families access to affordable solar and energy efficiency to dramatically cut their energy costs and improve their lives. In post-Katrina New Orleans, our founders shared the rebuilding city’s frustration that thousands of homeowners wanted to install solar and energy efficiency improvements in their homes, but were shut out due to the lack of significant income and high credit scores that traditional lenders require.

In post-Katrina New Orleans, our founders shared the rebuilding city’s frustration that thousands of homeowners wanted to install solar and energy efficiency improvements in their homes, but were shut out due to the lack of significant income and high credit scores that traditional lenders require.

So PosiGen was created with a mission to make clean energy available and affordable to all, to deliver meaningful savings to these families, and to prove that lower income homeowners are not a credit risk, but rather an outstanding opportunity for visionary investors who can appreciate the vast, untapped market that is waiting to be served.

Careers

PosiGen is more than an energy enterprise.

We are on a mission to help families take control of their energy costs and take back their financial freedom. Before we came along, solar panels were only available to the wealthy. We noticed that the people who needed to save money the most couldn’t afford them. We changed all of that by creating a brand new financial model and it worked!

PosiGen is always looking for dedicated professionals who are passionate about saving families money.
