But why should you consider working in the solar industry?
Here are our top 4 reasons why.
1. Exploding Industry Growth
According to data recently released by the SEIA, the solar industry is booming. In fact, renewable energy is beginning to outgrow coal and nuclear energy industries. More governments, businesses, utility companies, and homeowners are investing in solar than ever before. Even the government is starting to take notice of the importance of renewable energy with incentives for those going solar.
This means once you become a pro in the solar industry, you will have an aspiring career in the solar industry ahead of you.
2. Become a Renewable Energy Pro and Hero
Did you know? Electricity created with solar panels produces zero greenhouse gas emissions. That’s right, going solar is environmentally friendly. It’s another huge selling point that helps make your job easier. You’ll also help to create a better world for future generations.

3. Establish Yourself in a Very Lucrative Industry
Making great money is one of the largest motivations for working in the solar industry. Compared to other fields, the starting pay is highly competitive in any job position, and salary growth is common. There is also massive room for growth and the more experience you have, the more money you can expect to make.

Job satisfaction is a great way to love what you do.
There are many reasons a career in the solar industry can offer job satisfaction. According to recent job satisfaction statistics, a large majority of US workers get a sense of identity from their job.
Working in solar sales, you’ll be selling a mission you can really get behind. Renewable energy is the future of our world, and as the name suggests, it is inexhaustible, which means when other sources are gone, solar will still be going strong. The electricity solar produces is clean energy so you’ll be selling a product that everyone can agree is a great investment for the future.
Not only that, but you’ll be able to help homeowners save money, or even eliminate what they’re paying each month for electricity! You’ll also aid them in becoming energy independent, which is an easy sell for those frustrated with their electric companies.
