Commercial Solar Inside Sales Representative

Buffalo, NYFull-timeSales

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
