We may need to have you set up a small lab in our warehouse to test both panels and inverters on a regular basis, especially materials that have been returned to us. You will have to test these products and maintain a database that our team could use for further sales, rating by type and efficiency all solar modules currently being offered as well as inverters and batteries. * Helping to educate the public on solar electric power by writing for our web site. Weekly job: writing on blogs, promoting the company and the knowledge you acquired. * Analyzing current solar systems on the market and doing efficiency comparisons and price / watt comparisons. In the solar industry, many prices are not standard, so you will have to go through the many competitors’ websites and understand their pricing policy and make sure the comparison are relevant and clear. * Analyzing customer type, location, application, demand curves, energy conservation measures, all aspects of solar market demand. Solar energy doesn’t make any sense if not coupled with a serious energy audit of the residence or building. Energy audit will be one of the tasks you will have to deal with too.
