Job Title: Trainee Sales Executive - Solar
Salary: £26,000 basic + realistic OTE £50,000–£60,000
Location: Wellingborough
Why this role
You already understand solar. Now you want a role where that knowledge is valued, rewarded and turned into serious earning potential. This is a chance to step into a fast-growing solar sales job where every enquiry is inbound, every customer is already interested, and every conversation gives you the opportunity to advise rather than hard sell.
This is not about cold calling or chasing reluctant prospects. It is about helping homeowners make confident, informed decisions about solar PV systems that could reduce bills and create long-term value. For the right person, this is the kind of role that combines purpose, progression and real commission in one place.
What you’ll do
As a Solar PV Sales Consultant, you will manage warm residential solar enquiries from first contact through to close. You will speak with homeowners, understand their needs, recommend the right solar PV solution, prepare tailored proposals and guide them through the decision-making process with clarity and confidence.
This is a consultative renewable energy sales role where technical understanding matters. You will explain how solar works, what a system could generate, what it could save and why the right design makes all the difference. Strong organisation, good follow-up and the ability to build trust quickly will be central to your success.
About the company
You will be joining an ambitious, established renewable energy business with a strong reputation, a growing brand and real investment behind its people, systems and lead generation. The business has created a more professional, customer-friendly approach in a crowded market and continues to grow during a booming period for residential solar.
The office culture is a huge part of the appeal. This is a lively, supportive and genuinely enjoyable place to work, with a fun team environment, proper coaching and great energy on the sales floor. From the pool table and darts board to the coffee machine and daily buzz in the office, it is a place where people enjoy coming to work and are motivated to perform.
Just as importantly, the business is growing in a way that creates longer-term opportunity, so if solar is where your interest truly sits, there is potential over time to develop your career in different directions within the company.
About you
You will ideally have solar PV experience from sales, installation, roofing, electrical work or another relevant background in the sector. What matters most is that you can speak credibly about solar, build confidence with customers and offer honest, accurate advice.
You should be personable, commercially driven and confident without being pushy. This opportunity will suit someone living close to Wellingborough or within easy reach of Northampton, who wants a long-term career in solar sales with high-quality inbound leads and real earning potential.
Rewards & growth
Alongside a £26,000 basic salary, realistic OTE is £50,000–£60,000, with top performers expected to go beyond that. You will also benefit from a modern office, supportive leadership, bank holidays and a Christmas shutdown that takes annual leave beyond t
