Junior Solar Resource Assessor
The site evaluator — assessing properties to determine solar potential and system feasibility.
What it's like to be a Junior Solar Resource Assessor
As a Junior Solar Resource Assessor, you're evaluating properties for solar potential before systems are designed or sold. You're conducting site assessments, analyzing shading and roof conditions, measuring solar exposure, and providing data that informs system design and sales proposals.
Your day involves site visits, using assessment tools (from basic measurements to drone imagery), documenting conditions, and reporting findings. You need to understand the factors that affect solar production — orientation, tilt, shading, roof condition, and structural considerations.
This role is more technical and less sales-focused than typical solar positions. You're providing the foundation for accurate system designs rather than selling systems yourself. If you're interested in solar but prefer technical assessment work over sales pressure, this offers a different path into the industry.
