Commercial Solar Inside Sales Representative

Commercial Rooftop Solar | Education-Driven | Values-Based

Buffalo Solar Solutions is seeking a Commercial Solar Inside Sales Representative to join our growing commercial team. This role is ideal for someone who is consultative, curious, disciplined, and team-oriented, and who wants to build a long-term career in clean energy — not chase quick commissions.

This is not a high-pressure sales role. We focus on educating business owners and executives, helping them understand the value of solar for their operations, including how projects impact cash flow and long-term financial performance, rather than selling on price.

What This Role Looks Like

  • Majority inside sales, with limited and purposeful site visits
  • A qualified pipeline is provided immediately — you are not starting from scratch
  • Engage directly with CFOs, CEOs, and business owners, discussing:
  • Business operations and energy use
  • Cash flow impacts and long-term value
  • Risk, incentives, and project structure

Work alongside a team of engineers, designers, and analysts who provide the technical and financial support needed to sell with confidence.

Participate in site visits to:

  • Identify electrical infrastructure (service entrances, meters, transformers, etc.)
  • Take photos and notes to support engineering and financial modeling
  • Learn the technical fundamentals of commercial solar and energy systems over time — willingness to learn matters more than prior solar experience

Compensation & Growth Path

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

What We’re Looking For

We are looking for someone who:

  • Can speak comfortably and professionally with executive-level decision makers
  • Is willing to learn how to explain cash-flow models and financial outcomes to customers, with support from our internal team
  • Sells through education and trust, not pressure or gimmicks
  • Has a proven ability to work in a CRM and maintain accurate pipeline data
  • Is a team player who prioritizes company success over individual wins
  • Is detail-oriented, organized, and accountable
  • Is willing to learn technical concepts, including:
  • Electrical service and power sources
  • Transformers, meters, and load considerations
  • How system design impacts production and financial performance

Our Core Values

This role must align with Buffalo Solar Solutions’ core values:

  • Ambition – driven to grow personally and professionally
  • Willingness to Learn – curious and coachable
  • Knowledge – committed to understanding the technical and financial details
  • Respect – for customers, teammates, and partners
  • Teamwork – success is shared, not individual
