The Role
Reporting to our Solar & Storage Sales Manager 👋 we’re looking for a Solar Sales Advisor to join the team.
Our installation services for Solar panels, batteries, and EV charge points are helping homeowners save money while doing their bit in the fight against climate change. As a Solar Sales Advisor, your role will be to help grow our customer base and guide homeowners toward becoming energy independent. You will be responsible for helping customers seamlessly transition from interest to agreeing to a solar installation. This is a dynamic, fast-paced sales role backed by a steady stream of high-quality, inbound leads and returning customers. Meaning absolutely no cold calling. Through high-quality audio and video calls, you will design custom solar arrays, present tailored quotes, and expertly guide customers through their purchasing decision. To directly reward your sales success, we offer a highly competitive and uncapped commission structure, providing an exceptional opportunity to thrive and build a rewarding career in a purpose-driven, rapidly growing industry.
