Staying informed about solar industry trends, products, and regulations is essential, as you'll provide expert consultations and maintain competitive knowledge. Formal and informal training will be provided by Green Rack staff as well as manufacturing representatives at our training facility.

  • Experience in consulting, sales, customer service, or solar energy (2+ years preferred).
  • Proven track record of meeting or exceeding sales goals and metrics.
  • Demonstrated ability to quickly build relationships with strangers and persevere through adversity.
  • Self-starter who can work independently after training, with the ability to learn technical products, manage multiple responsibilities across various business platforms, prioritize tasks, and meet deadlines.

Compensation:

Our compensation package is designed to provide stability during the onboarding and training period, gradually transitioning into a performance-based structure consisting of a base salary plus sales commission. Qualified candidates can expect to earn $80,000-$120,000+ in their first year of employment, with opportunity for substantial growth as you expand your network of referrals.
