SolarCity, a clean energy services provider, has opened a new 15,000-square-foot operations center in Marlborough that will bring the area new jobs and help Massachusetts businesses, nonprofit organizations and homeowners save money through better energy options, according to a press release.

SolarCity currently offers businesses and homeowners in Massachusetts the ability to pay 15 to 20 percent less for solar electricity than they pay for utility power. Gov. Deval Patrick, Department of Energy Resources Commissioner Mark Sylvia and Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Richard Sullivan recently joined SolarCity to celebrate its expansion in the state.

"We have developed a nation-leading clean energy agenda because it is the right thing to do for our environment, our energy independence and our public health," Patrick said.

SolarCity has grown its Massachusetts workforce from 15 to 45 since September and is now hiring for additional open positions in Marlborough, according to a statement.
