Job description

OUR VISION
To be an unstoppable force in the responsible energy transition, rethinking conventional forms of energy and helping everyone do the same.

OUR MISSION
To give everyone access to clean, renewable energy solutions – enabling consumers to make informed decisions about their energy usage, the environment, and how to better their lives.

COMPANY SUMMARY:
SunShare started a movement in 2011 with a simple idea: to give anyone with an electricity bill access to solar energy. A decade later, we’ve created something even bigger — a new way for utilities and consumers to move from centralized power generation to distributed energy, tap the power of the private sector, and tackle climate change in a cost-effective manner.

SunShare is America’s oldest and most experienced community solar company. We develop, own, operate, and subscribe all of our projects, providing our customers and stakeholders an unparalleled experience. We believe making clean energy choices for businesses, institutions, homeowners, and renters should be easy and affordable, and that anyone with an electric bill should have the option to enjoy clean, solar energy. SunShare is a dynamic, fast-paced and highly driven company, having developed more than 120 MWs of solar projects for both large and small utilities. Our unique focus is developing and operating community-based solar projects. Headquartered in Denver, CO, we are committed to hiring and developing the best talent from around the world.

• Develop and manage annual project budgets, including forecasting of future asset performance and projected revenue and expenses.
• Model PV system performance based on design and current weather conditions. Be capable of analyzing actual production versus expected production based on historical and predicted future weather conditions, and capable of explaining results in a simple and straightforward manner.
• Interact with utilities daily to manage interconnections, utility upgrades / planned outages, and any grid issues that arise.
