About Solar Alternatives
Solar Alternatives has engineered and built solar and storage out of New Orleans since 2008 and now quotes jobs from Texas to Tennessee, with in-house engineering, financing and incentive work and a service book of more than 2,000 monitored systems. Its sales floor splits into residential and commercial: four Louisiana in-home solar consultants are one-call closers who run appointments in the home, at the business and over video, build the proposal, sign the contract and are expected to self-generate part of their pipeline at networking and marketing events on top of the leads the company supplies. On the commercial side a New Orleans account manager reporting to the commercial director carries a portfolio of contractors, architects, nonprofits and government agencies, shapes conceptual projects with the engineers, supports the estimate and executes the closing documents before handing the job to operations, measured on portfolio growth and financial goals. A New Orleans sales manager runs both teams, owning the forecast, budget and recruiting, and a hybrid customer success specialist in Harahan answers inbound calls and books sales appointments for new solar, battery and EV inquiries. All nine openings are in the US: seven in Louisiana (New Orleans, Harahan, Baton Rouge, Lafayette, Shreveport) and two on the Florida panhandle in Pensacola and Destin, which are a separate remote closer posting for reps with at least six months of documented solar sales.
