Solar Asset information

What are Solar Assets?

Solar assets refer to physical or financial resources related to solar energy generation, such as solar panels, solar farms, or portfolios of solar projects. These assets generate electricity from the sun and can include both utility-scale and residential solar installations. Managing solar assets involves monitoring performance, ensuring maintenance, and maximizing the financial returns from the energy produced. Solar asset management is crucial for investors, operators, and utilities to optimize efficiency and profitability.

What is the difference between Solar Asset vs Solar Technician?

AspectSolar AssetSolar Technician
CredentialsTypically requires asset management certifications, engineering degrees, or project management experienceUsually requires technical certifications, electrical or solar installation training
Work EnvironmentOffice-based, overseeing solar projects, monitoring performance, and managing assetsField-based, performing installations, maintenance, and troubleshooting
Employer & Industry UsageUsed by asset management firms, developers, and operators in the solar industryEmployed by installation companies, maintenance providers, and solar farms

Solar Asset roles focus on managing and optimizing solar power assets, including performance monitoring and financial analysis. Solar Technicians handle hands-on installation, maintenance, and repairs of solar systems. While both roles are essential in the solar industry, they differ in responsibilities, required credentials, and work environment.

What are the main responsibilities of a Solar Asset Manager on a day-to-day basis?

A Solar Asset Manager is primarily responsible for overseeing the performance, maintenance, and financial health of solar energy assets. On a typical day, this includes monitoring energy production data, coordinating with operations and maintenance teams, reviewing compliance with regulatory requirements, and generating performance reports for stakeholders. The role often involves troubleshooting issues, optimizing asset performance, and working closely with financial analysts, engineers, and external vendors to ensure assets operate efficiently and profitably.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Solar Asset Manager, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Solar Asset Manager, you need a strong understanding of renewable energy systems, financial analysis, and project management, typically supported by a degree in engineering, finance, or a related field. Familiarity with asset management software, SCADA systems, performance monitoring tools, and relevant certifications such as NABCEP is highly valuable. Excellent communication, problem-solving, and stakeholder management skills help you effectively coordinate between technical teams, investors, and service providers. These skills ensure optimal performance, compliance, and profitability of solar energy assets.

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.

If you're looking to do meaningful work in a high-performance environment - and be part of the team reshaping how energy gets built in the U.S. - we'd love to meet you.

About The Role

We are seeking a Senior O&M Technician to join our growing team in Illinois. This is a hands-on, field-based role for an experienced solar professional who enjoys solving complex technical problems, taking ownership of system performance, and helping elevate the team around them.
 
As a Senior Technician, you will play a critical role in maintaining, troubleshooting, and optimizing large-scale commercial rooftop solar assets. You'll act as a technical leader in the field-handling advanced diagnostics, supporting commissioning activities, and mentoring junior technicians-while working closely with Asset Management, Engineering, and Construction teams.  This role offers opportunities for growth as the O&M organization continues to scale.
 
Responsibilities
  • Lead inspections, preventive maintenance, and corrective repairs across commercial rooftop solar systems.
  • Diagnose and resolve complex electrical, mechanical, and performance-related issues to maximize system uptime and energy production.
  • Perform advanced troubleshooting on inverters, combiner boxes, monitoring systems, and balance-of-system components.
  • Capture and analyze thermal imagery during inspections and performance investigations.
  • Monitor system performance data and proactively identify optimization or corrective maintenance needs.
  • Support commissioning activities and ensure new assets meet Solar Landscape quality and performance standards.
  • Serve as a technical resource and mentor for junior O&M technicians, supporting training and skill development.
  • Maintain detailed and accurate service records, including maintenance activities, repairs, findings, and system performance data.
  • Partner with internal teams (Asset Management, Engineering, EPC, and Safety) to resolve issues and improve long-term asset reliability.
  • Uphold all safety protocols, regulatory requirements, and best practices at all times.
  • Maintain tools, test equipment, and assigned work vehicle in safe, working condition.
Qualifications
  • High school diploma or equivalent; technical or trade certification strongly preferred.
  • 4+ years of experience in solar O&M, electrical work, or related technical field.
  • Strong working knowledge of commercial PV systems, electrical theory, and safety standards.
  • Proven ability to independently diagnose and resolve complex system issues.
  • Proficiency with hand and power tools, multimeters, insulation resistance meters, and diagnostic equipment (IV Curve tracing preferred).
  • Comfortable working at heights and outdoors in varying weather conditions.
  • Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across teams.
  • Valid driver's license and ability to travel regionally as needed.
$40 - $50 an hour
Salary will vary depending on your location and job-related skills and experience. This is an incentive-based position with the potential to earn more. For part-time roles, your compensation will be adjusted to reflect your hours.
Benefits and Perks
 
We offer competitive compensation and benefits designed to support you inside and outside of work:
 
       Training / Professional development opportunities
       401(k) with 4% company match
       Summer Fridays
       Flexible remote/hybrid work options
       Paid parental leave
       Team lunches, events, and stocked kitchens
       Modern, collaborative office spaces in Asbury Park, New York City, Boston, Chicago, and Baltimore
       Medical, dental, and vision coverage
       Company-paid life and long-term disability insurance


We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
