They assess customer needs, analyze site data, and use specialized software to design efficient solar panel layouts and estimate energy output and cost savings. Their work helps customers understand the benefits and feasibility of switching to solar power, serving as a critical step in the sales and installation process.

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.
