Junior Solar Sales Estimator
The solar proposal builder — creating system designs and cost estimates for residential installations.
What it's like to be a Junior Solar Sales Estimator
As a Junior Solar Sales Estimator, you're focused on the technical and financial proposal side of solar sales. You're designing systems based on site data, calculating production estimates, building cost proposals, and preparing the documentation that supports sales conversations.
Your day involves working with site assessment data, using design software to configure systems, calculating financial projections, and preparing professional proposals. You may support multiple sales consultants with their deals or handle estimates for your own sales pipeline.
This role emphasizes the analytical side of solar sales. You need to understand system sizing, equipment options, production modeling, and financial calculations. If you prefer working with data and creating accurate proposals over pure relationship selling, this specialization can be a good fit.
