I'm a local residential solar sales team leader in the DC Metro.
I'm looking for high-performing, 100% commission residential solar sales reps.

Over the last 20 years, the cost of utility electricity has doubled.
Over the last 10 years, the costs to install solar have dropped by 90%.
Over the next 20 years, gas drivers are going to make the switch to EVs.
Like horse-and-carriage to cars.
There's also going to be significant consumer interest in battery backup power as well.
That's where you come in. Please email me your resume and a little bit about yourself.
Together, we will legally rob the Fossil Fuels Industry of future profits.
We're going to return power and wealth to our communities.

-100% uncapped residential solar commissions with no mandatory sales quotas

-Table at festivals, knock on doors, run ads, conduct SEO campaigns, make calls, start a YouTube channelit's all up to you
-Self-generate and close your leads, set appointments, manage relationships, conduct pre and post-sales activities
-Facilitate handoff to project management
-Help resolve project issues as they arise, ensuring positive outcomes for customers

Frequently asked questions:
[Q] Are the paychecks worth it?
[A] Yes, the paychecks are beyond well worth it.
Yes, you'll also need to work extremely hard to get them.
[Q] What's training like?
[A] Continuous and ongoing. Creative and collaborative. It is fully remote and online if you want it to be. Open to hybrid training and real-life events as well, but not required. Just show up. Continue to show up. Commit. Ask questions. Learn as much as you can. When you're ready to teach others, you can recruit and build a sales team from the ground up.
[Q] Do I need a permit to knock on doors?
[A] You do in many places, including Maryland, Washington DC, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. Therefore, if you are serious about this and want the ability to go door-to-door by yourself, you will need to get permits and certifications before you do that. We can help you pursue this by pointing you in the right direction and offering guidance.
[Q] How much can I earn?
[A] Typical commission size ranges from $1,000 to $7,000, depending on deal size and level of involvement.
Ambassadors earn $1,000 per closed deal, payable upon glass going up on the roof.
Solar consultants and sales reps earn up to $7,000 for self-closing deals on large solar systems, which offer ideal customers significant savings and high value.
[Q] What does the solar sales cycle look like?
[A] Discovery calls and Zoom appointments can usually be set and held within 48 hours of contact
1 discovery call (initial offer) and 1 hour-long Zoom sales presentation (follow-up offer)
1-2 post-sales call touches to overcome objections, resolve fears, facilitate optimism, and secure the sale
90-day installs in some parts of the area, other times it takes half a year or more.
Paid in full when the glass goes up.
[Q] Do you offer customers financing, and what kinds of products do you carry?
[A] We are an independent solar dealer that subcontracts labor to partners nationwide. Depending on customer needs, we offer over 100 different products and financing configurations. We carry premium tier-one panels, American-made panels, and lead-free solar panels. As well as new roofs, battery backups, EV charging stations, and power inverters.
[Q] Do you offer your customers a warranty?
[A] Yes. We protect and value our customers and their investments.
We follow through on this commitment by offering a substantial 30-year warranty, pre-paid at the time of sale.
[Q] What does an ideal hire look like?
[A] Almost anyone with the drive to succeed. But we'll humor you—sales leaders who sell EVs as a primary job and have access to high-level decision-makers. Help local dealerships automate and integrate solar panel and EV charging station installation services as a follow-up offer for local EV purchasers.
Someone who wants to sell solar to people who bought an EV after buying their first house. Someone who knows and understands the value of add-ons and attachments. Someone who is invested in teaching and learning consultative selling. Someone who has widespread influence within the community and is helpful and assertive.
You know a great deal about car culture, specifically EVs. You already have sales teams, and you want your reps to offer solar on the side by calling up old EV customers with a follow-up offer that creates an attractive value proposition.
[Q] Do I need to have a car?
[A] You don't need to drive or have a car. But realistically speaking, unless you plan on doing 100% of your business online, having some form of reliable transportation to cover physical territory will be helpful.
[Q] How do I get company leads?
[A] Company leads are not guaranteed. You must prove yourself first by self-generating and closing deals independently. We have the final say, and our discretion is absolute, but we require 3 self-generated and closed deals before you may even be considered for company leads as a pre-requisite. Leads are given out at our sole discretion.
[Q] Can we table live events?
[A] I am happy to work with my team to set up and staff live events. Although this is optional, it is an excellent direct sales lead generation method and a great opportunity to make lasting community connections.
[Q] How do I get started?
[A] Email your resume and some information about yourself. Someone will reach out to schedule an interview if your qualifications match our needs.
