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.

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?

Professionals in Community Solar often spend their days coordinating solar project development, engaging with community members to educate and sign up participants, and collaborating with local governments or utilities. They may attend meetings, conduct site assessments, manage project timelines, and respond to inquiries from residents or businesses considering solar participation. The work environment can be a mix of office, site visits, and local events, emphasizing both independent tasks and teamwork with engineers, sales professionals, and community organizers. This variety keeps the role dynamic while ensuring projects are developed smoothly and community members remain informed and involved.
