Job description

Build a Career in Residential Energy — With Real Income From Week One

California electricity rates aren't slowing down, and Antelope Valley homeowners are actively looking for guidance on solar and battery storage.

SolarShoppers — voted AVS Best — is hiring a Residential Energy Consultant to meet with homeowners, analyze their energy usage, and design custom solar and storage solutions.

This is a consultative role built for experienced sellers who want a structured ramp, weekly income while they build their pipeline, and uncapped earning potential once they're rolling.

What You’ll Do

• Conduct in‑home and on‑site energy consultations with Antelope Valley homeowners
• Review utility bills, usage patterns, and roof/property conditions to design the right system
• Educate homeowners on solar economics, financing, tax credits, NEM 3.0, and battery backup
• Build your own client base through neighborhood outreach, referrals, community events, and networking
• Walk customers through proposals, contracts, and the path to a finished install
• Stay current on California utility rate changes and incentive programs

Compensation Structure

We’ve built this role so you can earn from week one while you ramp:

• $500/week training pay for your first 4 weeks (non-recoverable — yours to keep)
• Per-project commission: $2,000–$4,000 depending on system size and storage attach
• Monthly performance bonuses:
  • $1,000 bonus for 3 installs in a month
  • $2,500 bonus for 5+ installs in a month
• Paid on installation completion — most projects go live in 30–45 days
• Health benefits eligibility after 90 days

Realistic earnings

• Year 1 consultants: $80K–$120K
• Experienced consultants: $150K+
• No cap on commissions or bonuses

Why Consultants Choose SolarShoppers

• Voted AVS Best — homeowners recognize and trust the name before you knock
• Local installer, not a dealer. We do our own installs, permitting, and PTO — your project never gets handed off to a stranger
• Fast project timelines — most systems operational in 60–90 days, not 6 months
• Exclusive equipment line not available through competing dealers in the valley
• Real operations team behind every project, so you look good after the sale
• Structured onboarding with product training, design training, and consultation shadowing

Background We’re Looking For

This role fits people coming from consultative or relationship-based sales backgrounds. Industries that translate especially well:

• HVAC sales
• Insurance (especially in-home P&C or life)
• Financial services / wealth advisory
• Real estate
• Roofing or home improvement
• Solar (any role)
• Mortgage / lending

You should have

• 2+ years of sales experience, ideally in a consultative or in-home setting
• Strong listening, presentation, and problem‑solving skills
• Comfort prospecting and developing your own client pipeline
• Self‑direction, organization, and a long‑term career mindset
• Reliable transportation, valid California driver’s license, professional appearance
• Bilingual English/Spanish is a plus, not required

Compensation: $75,000.00 - $500,000.00 per year
