What are the responsibilities and job description for the Solar Consultant position at Carterville Chamber of Commerce?
Solar Sales Consultant — Experienced Only
AES Solar (Advanced Energy Solutions Group, Inc.) — Carterville, IL Full-time | Weekly base pay uncapped commission | Hybrid office/field
Who We Are
AES Solar is a residential and commercial solar installation company serving southern Illinois. We're an Illinois Shines Approved Designee operating in the Ameren Illinois territory, with an established referral-driven customer base and a growing commercial pipeline.
The Non-Negotiable
You must have already sold solar. This is not an entry-level role and we will not consider candidates without prior solar sales experience. If you've carried a solar quota, run your own pipeline, and closed residential or commercial PV deals, keep reading.
What the Job Actually Looks Like
We don't hand you leads and hope. We run a structured sales system:
- Scheduled call blocks for prospecting and follow-up, built into your week — daily outbound is monitored and coached, not optional
- A territory workbook with hundreds of verified business targets
- Weekly one-on-one pipeline reviews with your sales manager — designed to keep deals from getting lost, not to audit you
- Site visits documented in CompanyCam; all activity tracked in Salesforce (hard requirement)
- Weekly 15-minute Friday training sessions
- Strong referral flow — roughly 44% of our sales come from referrals
Compensation
- $46,800 base salary, paid weekly — not a draw, not recoverable against commission
- Uncapped commission on residential, commercial, and non-PV sales
- On-target earnings: $136,800 at full quota (3 systems/month)
- Commissions paid the pay period after the project collects — our collection cycle is short, so you're not waiting months past install to get paid
- Realistic ramp: reduced quota expectations for your first six months, full quota (3 PV systems/month rolling) from month seven
- Additional commission opportunities on generators, batteries, EV chargers, and commercial lead procurement bonuses
Benefits
- Health, dental, and vision insurance
- Air evac insurance
- Retirement plan
- Paid time off
- Company vehicle provided (or mileage reimbursement where appropriate)
To Apply
Apply through Indeed. Include your resume and a short note on your solar sales track record — deals closed, products sold, and the market you worked. Applications without demonstrated solar sales experience will not be considered.
