The largest solar provider in the country says it's launching residential service in the Orlando area.

SolarCity opened an installation center in Clermont and said focused on new homes and military housing originally. 

The company say it will move its operations into the Orlando area and will hire about 50 new positions.

"Homeowners want it because they want to save money, that's their number 1 reason. Number 2, some of them like to generate clean power, but the primary reason is to save mo​ney," said Nathan Trainer, an operations manager for SolarCity.

Solar has also grown as financing has become easier for the average homeowner.

SolarCity says it's expanding because voters struck down Amendment 1 in November, an amendment favored by the utility companies.  

CEO Lyndon Rive issued this statement after the amendment was defeated last month:

"Congratulations to the people of Florida for rejecting Amendment 1 and protecting the state's solar future. For too long Florida has been the sleeping giant of the solar industry. Today, the public took historic action to choose a future powered by solar energy, as Floridians from all walks of life wisely saw through the utilities' $26 million deceptive campaign. By voting No on Amendment 1, Floridians have affirmed individuals' right to generate their own solar power, which is cleaner and will create local jobs that cannot be outsourced."

Solar energy jobs have grown steadily in the last 6 years. Nationwide, job numbers have grown from over 93,000 in 2010 to almost 209,000 in 2015, according to The Solar Foundation.

Job listings will be available on the SolarCity website.

SolarCity was recently bought out by Tesla Motors, which is making forays into the home solar energy market.
