What are the responsibilities and job description for the Solar Sales Representative position at Solarships?
Job Title: Appointment Setter
We are hiring appointment setters in the Normal/Bloomington and Peoria areas to work residential neighborhoods, connect with homeowners, and book solar consultations for our in-home sales team. This is a commission-only, outdoor role. You earn when customers move forward with a solar installation.
What You'll Do
You will work assigned residential territories, introduce solar to homeowners, qualify them for a solar consultation, and hand off appointments to a closer who runs the in-home presentation. Shifts are typically four to six hours, with afternoons and evenings on weekdays and mornings on weekends. Your commission is triggered when a customer signs and the installation moves forward. Top-performing setters have the opportunity to advance to in-home consultant roles.
What You'll Earn
This is a straight commission role with no base pay or salary. Compensation is based entirely on your results. Setters can earn between $55,000 and $70,000 annually on average. Strong, consistent performers have earned $90,000 or more.
What We're Looking For
We are looking for people who are comfortable talking with strangers, self-motivated, and able to handle rejection as a normal part of the job. You must have reliable daily transportation to your assigned territory and be able to walk and stand for four to six hours per shift. Applicants must be at least 18 years old. No prior solar experience is required.
Training and Support
This role is part of our Peoria team, one of the top-performing door-to-door solar teams in the country. You will receive training on what to say at the door, how to qualify a homeowner, and how to hand off effectively to a closer. The skills you build here apply well beyond solar sales.
What to Expect
Because pay is based on closed deals rather than appointments set, your first commission check typically arrives two to three weeks after your first day in the field, depending on how quickly you ramp and how fast the sales cycle moves. Reps who show up consistently and qualify leads honestly build real income over time.
