Remote Solar Sales Professional

SalesDraft Recruiting

Bakersfield, CA • On-site

$150K/yr

Full-time, Contractor

Re-posted 11 hours ago

Job description

Come work for the biggest and best solar company in the nation!

While other solar companies are contracting or shutting down, Powur keeps growing!

  • 4 consecutive Inc. 5000 appearances
  • 35,000+ installs | $1.5B in revenue | $10M+ cash reserves
  • Debt-free, profitable, and expanding
Remote Solar Sales Professional

Established Major Company Earn $150k+ Year 1 Keep up to 80% of Deal Revenue

This role is for experienced high-ticket sales professionals in California only.

Powur is looking for experienced solar sales professionals (or related high-ticket, commission-only sales experience) who know how to sell in California. This is a 100% commission, independent contractor role - not a salaried position. If you're a proven closer who wants to keep more of what you earn, this is built for you.

The Role

This is a 100% commission independent contractor position. There is no base salary, no draws, and no guarantees - your income is entirely tied to your performance. You will need to generate your own leads. In exchange, you keep a substantially higher share of revenue than you would at a traditional solar company, with no income ceiling.

  • Sell residential solar - you set your own schedule and run your own pipeline
  • Use Powur's AI-powered platform for proposals, site surveys, permitting, and project tracking
  • Close deals virtually or in person - 100% remote-capable
  • Build a team and unlock 6-level revenue-share overrides if you choose to scale
Compensation

All compensation is commission-based. There is no base pay.

  • Keep 70-80% of revenue on every deal
  • High performing active reps can earn over $150,000.00 in their first 12 months
  • Top performers earn $750K+ plus six-figure equity grants
  • M1 milestone bonuses up to $2,500 per install milestone
  • Equity stock options starting with your first install
  • Vested equity that continues to grow over time
Who We're Looking For

You must have direct solar sales experience to be considered for this role.

The ideal candidate:

  • Has a proven track record of closing solar deals in a Powur active state - this is a hard requirement
  • Knows their market: regulations, utility territories, and local incentives in the states where they sell
  • Is comfortable working as a 1099 independent contractor with no guaranteed income
  • Wants to maximize take-home pay and is tired of sharing too much with their employer
  • Can hit the ground running - we offer training and support, but we're not building your market knowledge for you

New to solar entirely? This is not the right opportunity. We are not looking to train people on solar fundamentals for this position.

Tools & Support
  • Powur University - live and on-demand training, weekly masterminds, certifications in storage, roofing, and finance
  • AI platform that handles site surveys, permitting, project tracking, and virtual outreach
  • Structured onboarding + optional mentorship
  • A network of high-performing reps across our active markets and a culture built around results
A Mission Worth Selling

Powur is a Public Benefit Corporation. Every deal you close contributes to funding solar installations for families living without electricity around the world. Your commission isn't just income - it's impact.

The Bottom Line

The solar industry is consolidating around platform models. Traditional solar companies are losing ground. Powur is the platform that wins in that environment - and we're looking for proven solar sales pros in our active markets who want to own that opportunity, not just punch a clock for it.
