Job Description
Energy Consultant — Build a High-Income Career in Solar Get Smarter Solar | Direct Partner of Axia by Qcells | $80,000-$120,000+ Year One Potential This isn't an entry-level job. It's a business you build inside a company that backs you. If you've ever run your own hustle, carried a sales quota, built a book of clients from scratch, or just know in your gut that you're wired to sell rather than punch a clock — read on. This role rewards people who think like owners, not employees. We're not looking for someone who wants to be told exactly what to do every day. We're looking for someone who wants leads, training, a proven system, and the Qcells name behind them — and then wants to be left alone to go build something real. You might be a fit if: You've started something before — a side business, a sales territory, a book of clients — even if it didn't work out You get more energy from a "no" that you can flip into a "yes" than from a task list someone else made for you You're done trading hours for a flat paycheck and want your income tied to your effort You want a real career track (Junior → Certified Consultant), not just a gig Why This Is Different From the Other Solar Ads You've Seen Most of these postings promise money and hope you don't ask how. Here's the actual structure: Top 10% of new hires earned $120,000+ in year one. Top earners overall broke $250,000+. Paid, structured training from day one — you're not thrown to the wolves. Leads provided after training — you're not starting cold, knocking on doors with no system. Backed by Axia by Qcells — the largest solar panel manufacturer in the Western Hemisphere, powering 1 in 3 U.S. solar homes. That name opens doors before you even knock. What You'll Actually Do Earn hourly pay from day one while you learn the business ($20/hr base + commission as a Junior Consultant) Consult with homeowners to assess their solar needs and deliver presentations that actually land Build and own your pipeline like it's your business — because it is Advance into a Certified Consultant role where your income and autonomy scale with your results ($250,000+ potential) The Rest of the Package Flexible schedule once trained
- 6 paid holidays, PTO, 401(k) with match
- New hire bonuses
- Mileage & cell phone reimbursement
- Company-sponsored domestic and international trips
- Direct access to senior leadership What We Need From You 18+, valid driver's license, reliable vehicle A communicator who can hold a room and close a conversation Comfortable outdoors, on your feet, in the field — this is not a desk job Prior sales or client-facing experience helps, but drive and coachability matter more Before You Apply Don't send a blanket resume.
