Job description

Momentum Solar, founded in 2009, is one of the fastest-growing companies in renewable energy. We’ve been recognized as the Solar Power World #1 Residential Installer and named one of Inc. Magazine’s Best Places to Work.

We are seeking driven, people-focused professionals to join our team as Solar Consultants. This is not an entry-level position, but it does not require prior solar or sales experience. The role carries significant responsibility and high income potential, and we provide structured training and coaching for individuals who have the right skills, mindset, and work ethic.

About the Role

Solar Consultants meet with homeowners at pre-scheduled, confirmed appointments and guide them through the process of understanding and purchasing solar. This role requires professionalism, strong communication, and the ability to build trust quickly.

  • Attend pre-set appointments with homeowners
  • Clearly explain solar options, pricing, and benefits
  • Answer questions and address concerns with confidence and honesty
  • Guide homeowners through a structured decision-making process
  • Participate in ongoing training, coaching, and team development

Who Succeeds in This Role

  • Strong communicators who are comfortable leading conversations
  • Individuals who take coaching well and apply feedback
  • People with backgrounds in hospitality, customer service, leadership, or performance-based roles
  • Self-motivated professionals who want control over their income

Experience Requirements

  • Prior sales experience is a plus, but not required
  • Success in people-facing or performance-driven roles is strongly preferred
  • Must be coachable, reliable, and goal-oriented

What We Offer

  • Paid, structured training designed to develop high-performing consultants
  • W2 position with full benefits including health, dental, vision, and 401k
  • No cold calling or prospecting. Qualified and confirmed appointments provided
  • Uncapped commission structure with average earnings of $100k–$150k+ annually
  • Clear growth and leadership opportunities for top performers

This is a career opportunity for individuals who want to be trained at a high level, held to high standards, and rewarded accordingly.

Momentum Solar is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
