What does a solar sales representative do?

As a solar sales representative, you help sell solar energy systems to residential and commercial customers. In this role, you may evaluate the suitability of each location for solar systems, help create estimates for costs and savings, and answer any questions that customers have. You also develop strategic plans for sales areas, demonstrate the use of equipment, memorize information about currently-available products, and write summaries for customers to keep. Some solar sales representatives reach out to find customers while others exclusively respond to people who contact a company and ask for an assessment.
