We are a solar company based out of Placer County that is currently building a new sales team for multiple territories in Northern California. I'm Nick, the owner, and I built an office in Sacramento from the ground up that ended up running 10 install crews and was doing about 20 new installs a week. I've installed solar panels on 3 story buildings, 45 pitch roofs, installed hundreds of Tesla batteries, ground mounts, helped customers during a power outage and sold or fixed a bunch of solar systems all over California. CA Solar Guru is run by a team of four, with over 40+ years of solar install experience and have set records at multiple companies for highest numbers of panels installed in a day.
We were tired of having to install jobs for customers who were lied to and ghosted by slimy sales reps who had no technical knowledge of what is involved in a solar install. So, we decided to start our own solar sales and consulting company with the mission of making sure if we sell a solar system, we are going to give the homeowners as much information and options as possible, and make sure their new system cuts their utility bill as much as possible - the FIRST time. We do PPA's (Power Purchase Agreements), Cash Systems, Ground Mounts, Tesla & Enphase Batteries, Loans / Financing, Off-Grid Systems and Homeowner Builder Permits.
PGE's new net metering 3.0 has made it to where it isn't as worth it to get solar UNLESS you get a storage battery. Many large solar companies are going out of business, leaving customers with existing solar systems that don't work and have nobody to help. Our mission is to go out and educate homeowners on the solar industry and find the best solution for their needs, ensuring the highest quality installs. We want to keep our company to a small number of talented and efficient individuals. We aren't salesmen, we're solar specialists and once you get your name out there, people will know YOU are the guy or girl to go to when they or their friend needs a solar solution.
This is a door-to-door position, and please do not apply if you are not comfortable knocking on some doors. However, the positions available are much more than just walking around and leaving flyers. Be ready to knock on doors 2-3 days a week but you have the flexibility to sell solar however you want to. This includes, standing in front of a store that you get permission for, posting ads online and using social media, and many other creative ways to build your referral system. Not only will we train you in everything you need to know about the solar industry, but you will learn sales methods and be able grow your abilities in multiple areas. There will be a weekly one-hour training meeting on Zoom. I will teach a different area of solar each week for about 30 minutes, then we will discuss different sales techniques and strategies. We want to help you hit the ground running, putting in lots of foot work initially to build a strong referral system. Some sales reps have made over $300k their first year by pushing incentives to customers to refer their friends and family. We want to help you become the person where everybody you meet knows your who to call when someone has a high PG&E or SMUD bill.
Like I said, we are currently building our 2nd sales team. So, there are multiple positions open. Please have reliable transportation, a license, a phone. Some sales or construction experience is required, but not both. Please be comfortable talking to people you don't know. If you feel like you have some type of special experience that may apply to this position, feel free to apply. Must be 18. This is a 10-99 job, full commission. Technically, this is a remote position. You don't need to come into an office, but you will need to be out in the field. Looking for go getters, as you will get out what you put in. It's in your hands but our team is here to teach and support you. Eventually, we will be expanding more and there will be opportunities to be a Sales Team Leader if you prove you have what it takes. The solar industry right now is not going anywhere, and storage batteries are the future. Get in now and let's try to solve the issues that homeowners are dealing with.
Please send an email to the link above with your: Name, Contact Info, Location and a Basic Resume and I will give you a CALL OR TEXT within about 24 hours from a (925) #.
If you are interested in an internship or are looking for training to work in the solar industry, feel free to contact me and let me know your goals. I do paid trainings and will trade services for solar training.
