About the Company:

We are Solara Home Energy, a rapidly growing alternative energy company specializing in solar solutions for new home construction. We're passionate about delivering quality, reliability, and an outstanding homeowner experience.
If you're an organized, independent problem-solver with a strong customer mindset and technical aptitude, we'd love to hear from you.

Additionally, you'll respond to service requests, troubleshoot issues, and coordinate with builders, trade partners, and homeowners to deliver timely resolutions.

  • Act as a field representative of Solara, delivering a professional, friendly experience for homeowners.
  • Regularly travel between active communities and job sites within assigned territory.
  • Identify and report trends or recurring issues to internal teams for quality improvement.
  • Other duties as assigned.

Minimum Qualifications:
  • High school diploma or equivalent.
  • 2+ years of experience in residential solar installation, commissioning, or warranty/service.
  • Strong understanding of solar PV system components and performance testing.
  • Familiarity with single-family new construction environments and timelines.
  • Valid driver's license with clean Motor Vehicle Record (MVR).

Skills / Knowledge / Abilities:
  • Confident in solar system troubleshooting, inverter configuration, and performance validation.
  • Excellent communication skills with homeowners, site supers, and internal teams.
  • Organized and detail-oriented with strong documentation habits.
  • Able to read and interpret installation drawings, one-line diagrams, and manufacturer specs.
  • Knowledge of applicable NEC, building, and safety codes.
  • Comfortable using mobile tools/apps for service documentation.
  • Ability to lift 50 lbs., work in attics and tight spaces, and maneuver job sites safely.
