Florida Solar for All Installer Manager

SUN has extensive experience developing and implementing local solar purchasing programs that lower the barriers to solar by tapping into group purchasing power to lower costs; and focused educational campaigns to support people throughout the process. One of the key things we do is clearly explain to participants how much going solar is going to cost, and how to understand and evaluate different approaches to financing their systems. SUN is deeply invested in expanding the equitable access to solar and we are engaged in implementing low-income rooftop solar programs across the USA. We will be expanding this work in support of the Environmental Protection Agency's Solar for All (SFA) program, including in Florida where we are a named subrecipient with responsibilities to procure and deploy solar installations for all program participants over the five-year grant performance period.

The Florida Solar for All Installer Manager will oversee installer relationships and related procurement processes to deploy solar installations to all program participants. The position will report to the Florida Solar for All Director of Go Solar Programs and will also provide functional supervisory support for several others. 

This is a grant-funded 5-year position, with the possibility of extension beyond the grant period.

Please submit a resume and cover letter with your application.
