Junior Solar Advisor
The residential solar guide — helping homeowners understand if solar makes sense for their situation.
What it's like to be a Junior Solar Advisor
As a Junior Solar Advisor, you're the first point of contact for homeowners considering solar panels. You're evaluating their energy usage, roof suitability, and financial situation to determine if solar makes sense, then guiding them through the decision process. You're part educator, part consultant, part sales rep.
Your day involves a mix of phone consultations, in-home appointments, and follow-ups. You're reviewing utility bills, explaining incentives and financing options, and presenting proposals. The technical side involves understanding system sizing, production estimates, and installation requirements — but you're not the installer.
Solar sales is relationship-based with longer consideration cycles than many products. Homeowners are making significant financial decisions, often with skepticism about claims. If you genuinely believe in solar and can build trust while explaining complex financial scenarios, it's a growing industry with strong earning potential.
