A Community Solar job involves working on projects that provide shared solar energy to multiple households or businesses. These roles can include sales, project management, policy advocacy, customer support, or technical installation.

Employees in this field collaborate with utilities, developers, and communities to promote and implement solar programs.

To thrive in a Community Solar role, you need a strong understanding of renewable energy systems, project management, and community outreach, often supported by experience in solar energy or environmental science. Familiarity with solar design software, customer relationship management (CRM) platforms, and knowledge of regulatory policies are highly beneficial. Exceptional communication, problem-solving, and organizational skills help build trust with community stakeholders and manage multiple projects effectively. These skills ensure successful project implementation, community engagement, and the overall growth of solar adoption at the local level.

What does a typical day look like for someone working in Community Solar?
