Junior Solar Sales Energy Advisor
The energy consultant — advising homeowners on solar as part of their overall energy strategy.
What it's like to be a Junior Solar Sales Energy Advisor
As a Junior Solar Sales Energy Advisor, you're positioned as an energy consultant rather than just a solar salesperson. You're analyzing homeowners' overall energy situation — usage patterns, efficiency opportunities, and solar potential — to recommend comprehensive solutions.
Your day involves energy assessments, reviewing utility bills, presenting analysis, and recommending solar systems sized appropriately for each situation. The energy advisor framing suggests a more consultative approach than pure sales, focusing on what's actually right for each homeowner.
This positioning can be more credible with skeptical homeowners who've had pushy solar experiences. If you can genuinely advise on energy efficiency alongside solar — sometimes recommending smaller systems or addressing efficiency first — you build trust that leads to better long-term results.
