FLS Energy, an Asheville-based solar-energy company has chosen Hillsborough as the location of its first office outside of Western North Carolina.

The company provides renewable-energy planning, design and installation services from small solar hot-water installations to utility-scale solar farms.

Chris Wachholz, a member of FLS’ Business Development division, is a longtime Orange County resident who has been charged with opening the Hillsborough office. He said the company chose Hillsborough because of local support for solar power.

The Orange County-based office will serve FLS’ growing list of projects in Research Triangle Park, the Piedmont Triad and the Eastern North Carolina area, including a large 1.2-megawatt solar array being installed at the SAS campus in Cary, as well as retail retrofits and solar installations for the military and area universities.
