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?
