We're looking for skilled Solar Maintenance Technicians to join our growing service team.

- Diagnose and troubleshoot system performance issues across a variety of PV and battery installations.
- Perform inverter replacements, module swaps, and component repairs on SolarEdge, Enphase, Tesla, and other major systems.
- Remove and reinstall solar arrays for roof repairs, replacements, or structural work, ensuring proper reconnection and system commissioning.
- Complete full system removals for customers who are moving, selling homes, or decommissioning installations.
- Conduct detailed system inspections and identify potential problems before they become failures.
- Install critter guards, perform system cleaning, and handle preventive maintenance tasks.
- Test and verify system performance after repairs to ensure everything is working correctly.
