Job description

GetSolar is Southeast Asia's embedded energy financing platform for consumers and businesses.

We make it dead simple for property owners to go solar — zero upfront cost, lower energy bills from day one, and complete peace of mind. We handle everything end-to-end: consultation, design, installation, financing, monitoring and maintenance.

Our Solar Rent-To-Own (RTO) model removes the biggest barriers to solar adoption — cost and uncertainty. Property owners lower their cost of ownership while gaining energy resilience. Every project adds to a growing portfolio of recurring clean energy assets.

We're accelerating the clean energy transition across Southeast Asia. Operating in Singapore and Malaysia — and we're just getting started.
