Job description


Build a Career in Residential Energy — With Real Income From Week One
California electricity rates aren't slowing down, and Antelope Valley homeowners are actively looking for guidance on solar and battery storage. SolarShoppers — voted AVS Best — is hiring a Residential Energy Consultant to meet with homeowners, analyze their energy usage, and design custom solar and storage solutions.
This is a consultative role built for experienced sellers who want a structured ramp, weekly income while they build their pipeline, and uncapped earning potential once they're rolling.
What You'll Do

  • Conduct in-home and on-site energy consultations with Antelope Valley homeowners

  • Review utility bills, usage patterns, and roof/property conditions to design the right system

  • Educate homeowners on solar economics, financing, tax credits, NEM 3.0, and battery backup

  • Build your own client base through neighborhood outreach, referrals, community events, and networking

  • Walk customers through proposals, contracts, and the path to a finished install

  • Stay current on California utility rate changes and incentive programs

Compensation Structure
We've built this role so you can earn from week one while you ramp:

  • $500/week training pay
    for your first 4 weeks (non-recoverable — yours to keep)

  • Per-project commission:
    $2,000–$4,000 depending on system size and storage attach

  • Monthly performance bonuses:


    • $1,000 bonus for 3 installs in a month

    • $2,500 bonus for 5+ installs in a month


  • Paid on installation completion
    — most projects go live in 30–45 days

  • Health benefits eligibility
    after 90 days

Realistic earnings:


  • Year 1 consultants: $80K–$120K

  • Experienced consultants: $150K+

  • No cap on commissions or bonuses

Why Consultants Choose SolarShoppers

  • Voted AVS Best
    — homeowners recognize and trust the name before you knock

  • Local installer, not a dealer.
    We do our own installs, permitting, and PTO — your project never gets handed off to a stranger

  • Fast project timelines
    — most systems operational in 60–90 days, not 6 months

  • Exclusive equipment line
    not available through competing dealers in the valley

  • Real operations team
    behind every project, so you look good after the sale

  • Structured onboarding
    with product training, design training, and consultation shadowing

Background We're Looking For
This role fits people coming from consultative or relationship-based sales backgrounds. Industries that translate especially well:

  • HVAC sales

  • Insurance (especially in-home P&C or life)

  • Financial services / wealth advisory

  • Real estate

  • Roofing or home improvement

  • Solar (any role)

  • Mortgage / lending

You should have:


  • 2+ years of sales experience, ideally in a consultative or in-home setting

  • Strong listening, presentation, and problem-solving skills

  • Comfort prospecting and developing your own client pipeline

  • Self-direction, organization, and a long-term career mindset

  • Reliable transportation, valid California driver's license, professional appearance

  • Bilingual English/Spanish is a plus, not required
