Residential Solar Salesperson

Residential Solar Salesperson

About Spirit Energy

We design and install high-quality solar PV and battery storage systems for homes and businesses across the South of England. Based in Reading, we are one of the UK’s longest-established and most respected specialists in residential and commercial renewables. Our work is technically led, with a strong focus on engineering excellence and long-term system performance.

We’ve built a reputation for honest advice, meticulous design, and high-quality installations. Our mission is to help people take control of their energy, reduce their bills, and accelerate the UK’s shift to a sustainable future.

About the Role

We are hiring a Residential Solar Salesperson to join our residential sales team. You will sell solar and battery storage systems to homeowners, owning the customer relationship from first enquiry through to signed contract.

When a customer gets in touch, the project becomes yours. You will assess the property, scope the right system, brief our in-house designer, present the proposal, and manage every follow-up through to signature. You will run your own pipeline and own your numbers. We will give you the tools, training, and support to do that well, and we trust you to get on with it.

The company is growing quickly. We are expanding into new areas and new technologies, and you will be part of driving that growth.

Key Responsibilities

• Engage with homeowners by phone, email, and video to understand their needs.

• Recommend solar and battery storage solutions that match the customer’s property, usage, and budget.

• Visit customer properties to assess installation feasibility and capture survey information, once trained.

• Brief our in-house designer on customer requirements and site conditions, then present the finished proposal back to the customer.

• Manage your own sales pipeline and follow up on leads within agreed timeframes.

• Hand over signed projects cleanly to our projects and installation team.

• Hit monthly sales targets and earn commission on closed deals.

Who We’re Looking For

• 1 to 2 years’ experience selling residential solar systems.

• Experience conducting on-site sales surveys and meeting customers in person.

• Strong on technical detail, and equally confident speaking with customers and handling objections.

• Clear communicator, written and verbal, with the ability to explain technical ideas in plain English.

• Organised, self-motivated, and detail-focused.

• Willing to learn fast and take ownership of your performance.

Familiarity with Tesla Powerwall 3 or Sigenergy SigenStor systems is a bonus, not a requirement.

Requirements

• Full UK driving licence, or a firm commitment to obtain one before the start date.

• Right to work in the UK.

Location and Hours

• Office-based at our Reading site, 5 days per week.

• Occasional home working by agreement when the role allows.

Pay and Progression

• Base rate and uncapped commission. Ask for more information.

Our Values

We care about doing things properly. We design systems that work, support customers honestly, and push to raise standards in the renewables industry. We believe in:

• Engineering excellence

• Attention to detail

• Technical education and development

• First-class customer support

• Safety, sustainability, and integrity
