Build a Career With One of Pennsylvania’s Leading Solar Companies
Ethical Energy Solar is looking for motivated, competitive, and people-focused professionals to join our team as Energy Advisors.
This is more than a traditional sales position. It is an opportunity to build a long-term career in one of the fastest-growing industries in the country while learning directly from some of the most experienced and successful professionals in solar.


This is an active, self-generating sales role. Energy Advisors are expected to create new business by knocking doors, canvassing neighborhoods, networking, requesting referrals, attending community events, and building relationships within their local markets. While company-generated opportunities may be available, the consistent self-generation of leads is a mandatory part of this position.


Ethical Energy is a vertically integrated Pennsylvania solar company. We manage the entire customer experience, including marketing, sales, system design, permitting, installation, and service. Our Energy Advisors are not selling for an unknown subcontractor. They are representing a respected local company with the people, experience, and infrastructure needed to support customers from the first conversation through installation and beyond.
