Searsport, ME | Full-Time | Outside Sales


Compensation: $50K–$90K+ OTE (base salary + commission)


Sundog Solar has been powering Maine homes and businesses with solar, battery storage, heat pumps, and EV charging since 2009. We're a locally-owned team of 35+ covering Central, Midcoast, and Downeast Maine, and we're looking for a driven Solar Advisor to grow with us.


Why Sundog Solar

Established company, 15+ years in Maine, strong reputation and repeat/referral business
This is a warm-lead role. You'll spend your time with homeowners who've already raised their hand, through referrals, inbound inquiries, or community outreach, rather than chasing strangers
Full product lineup to sell: solar, battery storage (Tesla, EG4), heat pumps, EV charging
Supportive design and install teams so you can focus on the client relationship, not the technical drafting
Company vehicle provided for sales trips

The Role
As a Solar Advisor, you'll guide Maine homeowners and businesses from first conversation through signed contract, assessing their energy needs, building custom proposals, and closing deals that put them on a path to energy independence. This is a relationship-driven, consultative sales role, not a high-pressure pitch job.
Territory: Greater Maine, with about 90% of your work within 2–2.5 hours of Searsport. Company vehicle provided for sales trips. Expect periodic community events and trade shows throughout the year.

Build and present solar proposals using our design software
Partner with our design team to fine-tune custom system layouts
Negotiate pricing and close contracts

What You Bring

Proven outside sales experience with a track record of closing
1+ year in solar sales, or a college degree in a related field
Working knowledge of solar/electrical systems, ROI, payback periods, and solar financing
Comfort with CRM tools (HubSpot or similar), Google Drive, and basic spreadsheets
Strong listening skills, since you sell by understanding the customer's actual needs
Self-motivated, organized, and able to manage your own pipeline and schedule

Nice to Have

Experience with solar design software
