Job Description

Position Overview

Buffalo Solar Solutions is seeking a Commercial Solar Inside Sales Representative to join our growing commercial team. This role is ideal for someone consultative, curious, disciplined, and team oriented who wants to build a long-term career in clean energy. Our approach is education-driven and values-based—focusing on helping business owners understand how solar impacts cash flow and long-term financial performance rather than chasing quick commissions.

Key Responsibilities

  • Conduct predominantly inside sales with limited, purposeful site visits.
  • Engage directly with CFOs, CEOs, and business owners to discuss business operations, energy use, cash flow impacts, risk, incentives, and project structure while collaborating with a team of engineers, designers, and analysts.
  • Participate in site visits to identify electrical infrastructure (service entrances, meters, transformers, etc.), document details with photos and notes, and support engineering and financial modeling.
  • Continuously learn the technical fundamentals of commercial solar and energy systems.

Required Qualifications

  • Ability to communicate professionally with executive-level decision makers.
  • Willingness to learn and explain cash-flow models and financial outcomes with internal support.
  • Proven experience working with CRM systems and maintaining accurate pipeline data.
  • Team player mentality that prioritizes company success and values continuous improvement.
  • Attention to detail, strong organizational skills, and accountability.
  • Basic technical understanding of electrical service, power sources, transformers, meters, load considerations, and how system design impacts production and financial performance.

Our Core Values

  • Ambition: Driven to grow personally and professionally.
  • Willingness to Learn: Curious and coachable.
  • Knowledge: Committed to understanding technical and financial details.
  • Respect: Treating customers, teammates, and partners with high regard.
  • Teamwork: Recognizing that success is shared, not individual.

Compensation & Growth Path

  • Compensation: $49,000 base salary during ramp-up, transitioning to commission-only once $49,000 in commissions is earned.
  • Structured training and mentorship provided.
  • Long-term earning potential for those who commit to mastery and teamwork.
