About the Role
As a Residential Solar Sales Consultant, you will guide homeowners through their solar journey from the first conversation to a switched-on system. This includes running site surveys, designing solar PV and battery storage systems tailored to each home, building proposals that clearly demonstrate real savings, and maintaining contact with customers long after installation. This is a consultative sales role where you help people make one of the biggest decisions for their home.

Your responsibilities will include engaging homeowners by discussing solar solutions, conducting home surveys to assess energy needs, designing systems to maximise savings, preparing clear and tailored quotes using solar design and financial modelling tools, managing the entire sales cycle from lead follow-up to negotiation and closing, and ensuring a smooth handover to the installation team. You will also support customers after the sale to maintain satisfaction and encourage referrals, manage your sales pipeline in the CRM, consistently meet or exceed sales targets, and stay informed about local competitors, pricing, and the latest solar and battery technologies.

Company
The Little Green Energy Company (TLGEC), part of Hometree Group since 2024, is a premier consultancy, design, and installation team in the Kent and Southeast region specialising in solar panel renewable energy for both commercial and residential sectors.

Experience
