We are currently looking for an experienced, motivated, detail-oriented, and tech-savvy Solar Service Technician who can hit the ground running with little additional training needed and become an immediate asset to our team. This position pays 10% commision on all sales, plus hourly.
**If you do not have extensive experience in diagnosing and troubleshooting solar systems, please do not apply.
**If your background is primarily in installation or roofing (e.g., as an installer or roof lead), this position is not a match. We're looking for someone who can independently manage advanced service calls, warranty repairs, and complex system diagnostics from day one. This is a specialized service role, not an installation position.
Summary/Objective
The Solar Service Technician is responsible for servicing existing residential PV systems. This includes diagnosing inverter and battery faults, processing RMAs, performing component replacements and system expansions, and working with equipment from a variety of manufacturers.
