What are the responsibilities and job description for the Solar Installer position at Freedom Power?
Solar Installer. Powering Texas, One Rooftop at a Time.
Austin, TX | Full-Time | On-Site
Some jobs put panels on roofs. This one puts power in people's hands — and you're the one who makes it happen.
Freedom Power was born when Freedom Solar and Freedom HVAC joined forces to become Texas's complete whole-house energy company. We don't just install solar systems. We hand homeowners the keys to something bigger: control over their energy, their bills, and their future. We call it Energy Empowerment, and it's not a tagline — it's the reason we show up every day.
If you've got construction know-how in your hands and hustle in your blood, this is your shot to do work that actually matters. You'll be part of a tight crew installing 1kW–30kW solar systems on residential homes across Austin — racking, DC and AC equipment, commissioning, testing, all of it. No two rooftops are the same, and every system you bring online is one more family taking control of their energy future.
Competitive pay with performance bonuses on top.
