ABOUT COAST

Coast ("Coast" or the "Company") is a rapidly growing commercial and industrial ("C&I") solar energy firm. By offering innovative systems which provide dependable solar energy to commercial businesses, Coast is disrupting the way commercial building owners purchase electricity.

Through the backing of its financial sponsor, Crosstimbers Capital Group, Coast expects to finance, develop, own, and operate $400 million of commercial solar projects across the United States over the next several years. Coast owns the solar systems and sells solar electricity to building owners / offtakers at a rate typically less than their current electricity provider. We are looking for talented, results-oriented, self-starters who will consistently deliver exceptional results to our customers and investors in pursuit of becoming the leading C&I solar provider in the United States.
