What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Community Solar Remote professional, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Community Solar Remote professional, you need a solid understanding of renewable energy principles, project management, and customer engagement, typically supported by experience in the solar industry or related environmental fields. Familiarity with CRM software, solar design tools, and remote communication platforms is often required. Strong communication, self-motivation, and problem-solving skills help you excel in managing client relationships and coordinating projects remotely. These abilities are crucial for successfully expanding community solar adoption and ensuring seamless project execution from a distance.

How does a Community Solar Remote role typically collaborate with local partners and stakeholders?

In a Community Solar Remote position, collaboration with local partners and stakeholders is essential to project success. You’ll frequently engage with utility companies, community organizations, permitting agencies, and sometimes property owners to coordinate site selection, project development, and customer outreach. Regular communication, virtual meetings, and clear documentation are crucial for building trust and ensuring everyone is aligned on project goals and timelines. The ability to work effectively across time zones and adapt to different communication styles is often a key factor in successfully advancing community solar initiatives.

What is a Community Solar Remote job?

A Community Solar Remote job involves working with community solar projects, which allow multiple households or businesses to benefit from a shared solar energy system. In this remote role, employees typically handle tasks such as customer support, project coordination, sales, or outreach, all from a remote location. These positions support the development, management, and promotion of solar energy solutions that are accessible to people who may not be able to install solar panels on their own property. The goal is to make clean energy more widely available and to help communities reduce their reliance on traditional energy sources.

What is the difference between Community Solar Remote vs Solar Sales Representative?

AspectCommunity Solar RemoteSolar Sales Representative
Required CredentialsKnowledge of solar industry, sales skills, sometimes certificationsSales experience, knowledge of solar products, certifications optional
Work EnvironmentRemote, office or home-basedField-based, client meetings, or remote sales calls
Employer & Industry UsageSolar energy companies, community solar programsSolar installation companies, energy providers
Search & Comparison IntentUnderstanding remote roles in community solar projectsComparing solar sales roles and responsibilities

Community Solar Remote roles focus on promoting and selling community solar programs remotely, often requiring sales skills and industry knowledge. Solar Sales Representatives may work in the field or remotely, selling solar products directly to customers. Both roles involve sales and industry knowledge but differ mainly in work environment and specific job focus.

Job description

About the role: We are a rapidly growing community solar developer seeking a Solar PV Design Engineer to support the origination, development, and advancement of distributed generation and community solar projects across New York, Illinois, Massachusetts, and Maryland.
This role is focused on development-stage engineering, conceptual design, energy modeling, and project optimization. The successful candidate will work directly with development, interconnection, real estate, and project execution teams to evaluate new opportunities, maximize project value, and reduce development risk.
Unlike a traditional EPC engineering role, this position emphasizes site feasibility analysis, conceptual layouts, PVsyst modeling, utility coordination, and strategic project development support rather than detailed construction engineering.
The ideal candidate is comfortable evaluating multiple sites simultaneously, making design recommendations with limited information, and supporting investment decisions throughout the project development lifecycle.
This position is classified as remote, with candidates expected to work east coast (EST) business hours. Key Responsibilities: Site Feasibility & Conceptual Design
  • Develop conceptual site layouts for community solar projects throughout the development process.
  • Evaluate greenfield and brownfield sites for solar development suitability.
  • Identify and quantify development constraints including environmental setbacks, wetlands, topography, floodplains, utility easements, zoning requirements, and access considerations.
  • Create optimized layouts that maximize project economics while maintaining constructability and permitting viability.
  • Support land acquisition and origination teams through rapid site assessments and technical due diligence.
Energy Modeling & Project Optimization
  • Develop and maintain bankable energy production models using PVsyst.
  • Perform sensitivity analyses evaluating equipment selection, tracker configuration, terrain impacts, row spacing, and system losses.
  • Support project financing and investment decisions through production forecasting and technical analysis.
  • Continuously optimize project designs to improve energy yield, project returns, and overall portfolio value.
Utility & Interconnection Support
  • Support utility interconnection applications and technical reviews.
  • Coordinate with utilities, consultants, and engineering partners throughout the interconnection process.
  • Maintain familiarity with community solar utility requirements and interconnection processes across major development markets including New York, Illinois, Massachusetts, and Maryland.
Development Engineering
  • Provide technical support to development teams throughout the project lifecycle.
  • Review surveys, environmental reports, geotechnical studies, and utility documentation.
  • Coordinate with civil, structural, and electrical engineering consultants as projects advance through development.
  • Support permitting efforts through preparation of technical exhibits, site plans, and engineering documentation.
  • Assist with project budgeting, preliminary engineering cost estimates, and development risk assessments.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
  • Partner closely with Development, Real Estate, Interconnection, Finance, and Construction teams.
  • Present technical recommendations that support project investment decisions.
  • Support a growing pipeline of projects at varying stages of development.
  • Contribute to continuous improvement of development engineering standards, tools, and workflows.
Required Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Renewable Energy Engineering, or related technical discipline.
  • 1–5 years of experience supporting solar PV project design or development.
  • Experience with community solar, distributed generation, or utility-scale solar projects.
  • Strong proficiency in PVsyst.
  • Working knowledge of AutoCAD.
  • Understanding of utility interconnection processes and solar development workflows.
  • Ability to evaluate sites and make design recommendations with limited information.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience supporting projects in New York, Illinois, Massachusetts, or Maryland.
  • Experience designing AgPV projects.
  • Knowledge of NYSERDA NY-Sun, Illinois Shines, Massachusetts SMART, and Maryland Community Solar programs.
  • Engineer-in-Training (EIT) certification.
Why Join Us:This role provides a unique opportunity to influence project development decisions from the earliest stages of project origination through construction. The successful candidate will play a critical role in shaping a growing portfolio of community solar assets while working alongside experienced development professionals in one of the fastest-growing segments of the renewable energy industry.
