Careers at Firefly Solar

Firefly Solar is hiring motivated individuals to join our residential sales team. This is a face-to-face, door-to-door role where you’ll be speaking directly with homeowners and booking qualified appointments for our senior Solar Educators. We provide structured onboarding, one-on-one field training with experienced managers, scripts, daily coaching, and access to a full training platform so you’re never “thrown to the wolves.” You’ll know exactly what to say and how to improve. Everyone starts as a Setter. That means your job is simple: knock doors, start conversations, identify interested homeowners, collect the required site information, and schedule a consultation. You are not responsible for closing the sale, that comes later. But being a Setter is just the beginning. We promote based on performance, not tenure. If you hit your metrics, you move up. The clear path is: Setter → Closer → Office Closer → Team Lead → Assistant Manager → Manager.
