The solar evaluator — assessing homes and homeowner needs to recommend appropriate solar solutions.
As a Junior Solar Sales Assessor, you're combining site assessment with sales qualification. You're visiting homes to evaluate solar potential while also assessing the homeowner's situation — their energy usage, financial readiness, and interest level. You're determining both if solar will work technically and if the deal makes sense.
Your day involves home visits that serve dual purposes. You're looking at roofs, shading, and electrical panels while also having conversations about utility bills, motivations, and concerns. Your assessments inform both system design and sales approach.
This role bridges the technical and sales sides of solar. You need enough technical knowledge to evaluate sites credibly and enough sales awareness to qualify opportunities effectively. If you enjoy the variety of technical assessment combined with customer interaction, this hybrid role leverages both skill sets.
