SunPower is dominating residential solar as one of the top players in the U.S.—fresh off our game-changing 2025 acquisition of Sunder Energy, which supercharged our sales force and revenue to record levels. We're a powerhouse brokerage platform partnering exclusively with the industry's elite providers to deliver homeowners the absolute best, most competitive solar + battery options available. No single-provider limitations here—our reps close more deals faster with tailored solutions that crush utility bills, lock in energy independence, and make going solar a no-brainer. Reps who join us stay because the flexibility, higher payouts, and happier customers make this the smartest move in solar sales right now. You’ll work around people who actually answer the phone, share what’s working, and expect you to show up.

What You'll Do

- Self-generate leads and set high-volume appointments through canvassing, networking, referrals, and creative prospecting in your assigned territory.

- Conduct in-home or virtual consultations to educate homeowners on solar benefits, including massive cost savings, environmental impact, energy independence, and available financing/installation options.

- Perform site assessments, qualify prospects, build customized proposals, handle objections, and confidently close deals using our proven sales process.

- Deliver an exceptional, consultative customer experience from first contact through post-install follow-up.

- Meet or exceed personal and team sales targets while maintaining compliance with all company and industry standards.

- Stay up-to-date on solar products, incentives, rebates, and industry trends through ongoing training and team support.

- Build lasting relationships and generate referrals to fuel ongoing pipeline growth.

What We're Looking For

We're seeking driven, resilient closers who thrive in a performance-based, outdoor/field environment. Prior solar experience is a huge plus (especially in-home solar sales, direct door-to-door, or self-generated lead roles), but we strongly encourage applications from top performers in other high-commission, face-to-face sales fields—

no solar background required!

Key qualifications:

- Proven track record of success in commission-based sales (door-to-door, B2C field sales, home improvement, telecom, security, or similar).

- Strong hustle mentality: comfortable with rejection, self-motivated, and able to generate your own opportunities daily.

- Excellent communication, persuasion, and relationship-building skills—able to explain technical concepts in simple, compelling terms.

- Reliable transportation and willingness to travel locally (80%+ field time).

- Tech-savvy: comfortable with CRM tools (e.g., Salesforce), mobile apps, proposals, and virtual tools.

- High school diploma or equivalent; bachelor's degree preferred but not required.

- Any required state licensing (e.g., CSLB in CA or equivalent) can be obtained/pending—we support the process.

Why Join Us?

- Uncapped earning potential

— Sky's the limit for closers who hustle, with nicer overall comp thanks to our flexible brokerage model.

- Comprehensive training and ramp-up support to get you producing quickly (even if new to solar).

- Full benefits package (health, dental, vision, 401(k) match, paid time off) for eligible roles.

- Career growth: Fast-track to leadership, team lead, or management for top performers.

- Be part of something bigger—help families save money while accelerating the clean energy transition.

- Positive, high-energy team culture with incentives, contests, recognition, and the flexibility reps rave about.
