Sales Executive – Renewable Energy & Solar Sales

Pre-Qualified Home Energy Audits –  £50k – £80k+ OTE

2026 is already a record year for UK solar

With energy prices rising again, the UK passed 2 million solar installations in March 2026, and 2026 has already beaten the previous annual record for certified installations. Homeowners want lower, more predictable energy bills, but navigating technical specifications, storage options, and financial payback periods requires clear, consultative guidance.

The Company

Operating as the domestic division of an established energy group, our client provides the complete answer. Rather than offering one-size-fits-all packages, they deliver bespoke whole-home systems on a ‘Premium Product, Mid-Market Price’ model, managing every step in-house from initial consultation through to installation and aftercare. Their product suite integrates high-efficiency solar panels, durable inverters, expandable battery storage, voltage optimisation units, and smart thermostats to deliver complete household energy independence.

Commission structure & cash-flow backing

• £50,000–£80,000+ Realistic OTE: Achievable baseline income on a self-employed, commission-only basis, with consistent top closers earning £100,000+.
• £500 Weekly Pipeline Advance: An upfront commission draw designed to keep your personal cash flow reliable while building your active pipeline.
• Uncapped Returns: Direct, transparent commission paid per completed contract with zero volume caps or seasonal earning ceilings.

What conducting an audit looks like

• Centrally Booked Diary: Head office pre-qualifies and schedules every appointment directly into your calendar with homeowners who requested an assessment, eliminating any prospecting.
• On-Site System Design: Use your supplied iPad to design the setup and show projected savings in real time.
• Presenting the Business Case: You guide clients through system payback, lifetime utility savings, and equipment durability over a focused one-hour visit.
• Closing on the Day: You manage the entire in-home conversation through to securing agreement and contract signatures.
• Territory Coverage: Consultations take place across your local region, operating within an approximate 65-mile driving radius.

Tools, training & technical support

• Solar Sales Academy: Comprehensive classroom and field training covering domestic energy technology, regulations, and consultative closing frameworks.
• Industry-Leading Tech: Full access to the Wattson Designer tool, automating technical system designs and ROI projections on the spot.
• Continuous Mentorship: Structured sales frameworks and ongoing field coaching to support your conversion rate.

The honest reality

• Commission-Only Basis: There is no basic salary – your total income is a direct reflection of your closing rate and audit volume.
• Evenings & Saturdays: Securing homeowner decisions means meeting them when everyone is home, requiring regular late-afternoon, evening, and Saturday visits.
• Personal Transport: You must hold a valid UK driving licence and use your own reliable vehicle to cover visits across your 65-mile territory.
• Self-Employed Logistics: You manage your fuel, ongoing vehicle running costs, and self-employed tax administration.

Who thrives in this environment

• Proven track record in B2C direct sales, in-home consultations, or home improvement contracting.
• Strong numerical literacy and the ability to explain return-on-investment metrics simply and persuasively.
• High commercial discipline, self-motivation, and ease with using presentation software in customer living rooms.
• Confident personal presence with the natural ability to ask for the business on the day.

This will not suit you if: You require a guaranteed basic wage, prefer fixed 9-to-5 weekday hours, or dislike spending time driving between visits.
