It's hard work. But it's rewarding Texas summers on ain't no joke. You sweat. You burn. But the work's gotta be done, and if you don't do it, sure, some sucker probably will, but are you gonna sit behind a desk all day as your soul and vitality slowly seep out of your once-virile body and into your seat cushion? Building rad energy systems is daily exercise for both your body and your brain-especially if your company's objective is something more than screwing as many panels into seventeen-year-old shingles as fast as you humanly can, while some ignorant AF overseer is telling you it's your fault we're out of RT Mini's and just cut the ones you have in half so they'll go further. We're offering a better vision. Brutal work, yes. But the relentless, purposeless hammering of your impact driver on some rotted-out deck in Alief, knowing full well that you and all your closest friends will never be able to make good on the false promises your resident solar bro made some little old lady? Most certainly not. Meet our company KW Solar has been a mainstay in the solar market since 2015, which, as you know, is downright ancient in solar years. We were installing triumphant PV systems long before grid parity, before the solar gold rush, before the swarm of d-bags on hoverboards descended upon our city and knocked every door until "solar" became a dirty word. And we'll be here long after high interest rates and the sunset of the ITC freeze them out like the parasites they are. We don't knock doors, we don't have a call center, we don't even use the word "redline" unless we're joking around. We do well-designed, well-built, high-powered energy systems for homes and business-typically the big, bad systems other folks can't figure out how to do. What is the key? It ain't brain surgery. It ain't a magic monkey foot. We just show up and do what we say we'll do. We regularly study our craft. We fine-tune our internal operations. We meticulously make highly functional, appropriately built (sometimes a little overbuilt) energy systems for people who really want them, who have the means to obtain them, and who-most of the time-know exactly what they're getting for their hard-earned cash. We do a great job. We keep our commitments. We make happy customers, who bring us more happy customers. KW Solar is the choice for discerning solar customers. Being the choice comes with some perks: We're vertically integrated, owning the full solar stack. We do our own marketing, sales, design, procurement, construction, and maintenance. Our projects have realistic timelines that never make you choose between getting the job done and actually doing it right. Our projects have appropriate budgets that call for solid equipment and materials. We work with a wide array of systems, residential and commercial, urban and rural.

We do all things energy:

PV, ESS, combustion generators, and general electrical work, all in-house.

And the cherry on top:

not even our lowliest sandbag has to work on a roof all day, every day. We shake things up. Everyone wins. If you got into solar because you like working with your hands, you like cool technology, and you were enthralled by the idea that anyone can brew clean energy from sunshine right in their own home, then KW Solar just might be the place for you.

What we do:

Design/build new systems Retrofit and upgrade existing systems Detach/Refit rooftop PV System support, troubleshooting & maintenance Specialty construction (ground mounts, carports, etc.) Systems we support: Duracell Lunar Enphase Sol-Ark Tesla SolarEdge EP Cube Tigo Solis ...and probably some others that slip the mind at the moment Why such a variety? We offer the best system for the situation, considering factors as diverse as the utility service, the owner's goals, and budget. It sure keeps things interesting! Your role at KW Solar If you like doing the same thing every day, there's a place for you, but it's probably not with our field operations team. As an electrician at KW Solar, your assignments will vary substantially from week to week. We maintain a small, closely knit field team that's trained in all the disciplines; technicians perform as many different duties as they're capable of. If you have a wide range of skills, you should come where they'll be appreciated and put to use! If all you have is basic knowledge but a strong pair of hands and a can-do attitude, this is a great place to do develop those skills. If you're hard-working, hands-on, enjoy learning, and love the feeling of a job super well done, KW Solar is gonna be a solid fit. Your capabilities By showing up to work every day with a work ethic and good head on your shoulders and the right attitude (things we can't teach) you'll have ample opportunity-and incentive-to grow your capabilities. One way we keep our technicians from burning out on rooftops is by not sending them up there all day, every day! We have a robust service business, which means we spend almost as much time zipping around town to fix other solar installers' bad work as we do installing new projects. Team members with a breadth of skills see ample variety in location and working conditions from day to day. The following are things you'll be expected to either know or to quickly learn, because everyone does everything here: Structural assembly of rooftop, ground mount, and carport racking systems. PV module layout, attachment, stringing, wiring, and bonding DC and AC electrical work including pipe runs, wiring, device installation, and grid interconnection System commissioning and configuration Battery retrofits and new installs Inverter troubleshooting and replacement Damage repair Come ready to work, learn, and grow!
