Project solar management refers to the planning, execution, and oversight of solar energy projects from inception to completion. It involves coordinating resources, managing budgets and timelines, ensuring regulatory compliance, and working with stakeholders such as engineers, contractors, and clients. Effective solar project management is essential to deliver projects on time, within budget, and according to quality standards. Managers also handle risk assessment, procurement, and project documentation, ensuring a smooth transition from installation to operation.

How do project solar management professionals typically collaborate with cross-functional teams during a solar project?

Project Solar Management professionals regularly work with engineers, procurement specialists, construction crews, and clients to ensure each phase of a solar project runs smoothly. They facilitate communication between technical experts and stakeholders, manage project timelines, and address challenges such as permitting or supply chain delays.

To thrive in Project Solar Management, you need a solid understanding of renewable energy principles, project management methodologies, and relevant educational background, often supported by a degree in engineering or environmental science. Familiarity with project management software (like MS Project), solar design tools (such as PVsyst), and certifications like PMP or NABCEP are commonly required. Strong leadership, problem-solving, and effective communication skills help drive team performance and stakeholder engagement. These competencies ensure projects are delivered efficiently, safely, and within scope, maximizing both environmental impact and profitability.

Job description

About Us

Solar Landscape is the leading commercial rooftop solar developer in the U.S. Only 4% of commercial rooftops host solar today — we’re changing that, fast. Commercial rooftop solar is the fastest, smartest way to build new clean power — delivering megawatts of generation in months, not years, and powering America’s energy and future right where it’s needed most. By turning rooftops into local power plants, we’re reshaping how — and how fast — energy gets built in the U.S.


Recognized as the #1 Distributed Generation Developer by New Project Media, the #1 National Commercial Rooftop Solar Developer by Solar Power World, and winner of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Grand Prize for Clean Energy, Solar Landscape is defining the future of energy generation in America.


Headquartered in Asbury Park, New Jersey, Solar Landscape has offices in Chicago, Baltimore, and New York City and operates in over a dozen states nationwide.


We move fast, solve hard problems, and take our work seriously — but never ourselves. We value clear thinking, accountability, and execution. At the same time, we’re collaborative by default, and believe the best work happens when people enjoy working together. Our team is made up of smart, grounded people who show up for each other — whether that’s troubleshooting a system design or catching up over lunch.
