Kasselman Solar employs a strong team of 75 people, although this number is growing by the day and may top 150 by the end of the third quarter of 2022, according to Allison Pepe, Chief Operating Officer at Kasselman Solar. “Our team is growing fast because we keep everything in- house,” she says. “As demand grows, we plan to keep everything in-house and avoid outsourcing, to maintain that small company feel for our employees and our customers.” As the company expands, it is attracting experienced workers from the solar sector, a factor Kasselman attributes to its focus on honesty. “We attract some of the best workers in the state because we focus on earning trust the old-fashioned way. We tell the truth about what we are trying to do as a company; helping people transition to a more dependable, sustainable, and planet-friendly energy source,” explains Kasselman.
