  • Serve as the central point of contact for all community solar initiatives across Qcells.
  • Develop and maintain a roadmap for community solar participation, including project eligibility, subscriber acquisition, and compliance workflows.
  • Support project acquisition efforts by evaluating subscriber mix, program fit, and market-specific risks and opportunities.

Transactional Support & Due Diligence

  • Lead due diligence for community solar transactions, including subscriber profiles, community solar manager vetting, and contract negotiation.
  • Collaborate with underwriting and valuation teams to ensure accurate modeling assumptions and risk mitigation.
  • Align internal stakeholders on deal structure, compliance obligations, and execution timelines.
  • Policy Monitoring & Compliance

  • Track and interpret community solar regulations, disclosure requirements, and licensing obligations in IL, NY, and other emerging markets.
  • Ensure compliance with all relevant consumer protection, reporting, and certification standards.
  • Monitor distributed generation (DG) and storage policy developments and assess their impact on Qcells’ strategy.
  • Market Intelligence & Distributed Storage

  • Evaluate distributed storage programs and market structures across key states.
  • Work with the commercial team to develop execution plans for storage-integrated community solar offerings.
  • Maintain a database of market rules, incentive structures, and program timelines.
  • Industry Engagement & Representation

  • Represent Qcells in industry groups such as CCSA, SEIA, and relevant state coalitions.
  • Lead Qcells’ participation in conferences, working groups, and stakeholder sessions.
  • Maintain active memberships and certifications as required by state programs or industry best practices.
  • Internal Collaboration & Education

  • Act as a bridge between policy leadership and execution teams, translating regulatory guidance into operational plans.
  • Educate internal stakeholders on community solar dynamics, compliance risks, and market opportunities.
  • Support strategic planning and business development with regulatory forecasts and market insights.
  • REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

  • Bachelor’s degree in energy policy, business, engineering, or related field; advanced degree preferred.
  • 5+ years in solar energy, with at least 3 years focused on community solar program management, compliance, or transactional support.
  • Experience supporting project acquisitions, contract negotiations, and financial modeling alignment.
  • Familiarity with distributed storage policy and market structures is a strong plus.
  • Proficiency with subscriber management platforms, CRM systems, and regulatory reporting tools.
  • Ability to synthesize policy and compliance requirements into actionable business processes.
  • Deep understanding of community solar regulations, disclosure protocols, and licensing requirements in IL and NY.
  • Experience with DG and storage policy tracking and interpretation.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Proven ability to work cross-functionally and manage external partnerships.
  • Active participation in industry groups and conferences.
  • Ability to represent Qcells externally with professionalism and subject matter authority.
