MILWAUKEE (June 27, 2025) – Arch Solar, a leading solar provider throughout Wisconsin, is opening a new Milwaukee location, which will serve as the company’s corporate headquarters. The 14,000-square-foot facility is expected to house approximately 45% of Arch Solar’s 150 employees, with plans to add 30 new green jobs.
“This strategic move reflects the growing demand for renewable energy solutions here in Milwaukee and across the state,” said Jolynn Van Ginkel, vice president of Arch Solar. “We’re well-positioned to help our customers make the transition to a cleaner, more sustainable future.”
Founded in 2003, Arch Solar is one of the state’s most trusted and proven solar providers. The company has more than 500 solar installations on Milwaukee homes and businesses. The company’s total solar portfolio offsets roughly 225,000 million metric tons of CO2. That’s the same impact as planting 43 million trees or taking 100,000 gas powered cars off the road.
Arch Solar works with residential, commercial and utility customers to provide end-to-end solar solutions, including product design, engineering, sourcing, installation and maintenance. Arch Solar has three offices throughout the state, including Milwaukee, Madison and Plymouth.
