What we’re looking for:

We are seeking a passionate, detail-obsessed Solar Operations Analyst/Coordinator to join our Community Solar Operations team. Community solar is the fastest growing segment of the solar market, enabling homes and businesses to benefit from solar energy by digitally subscribing to a remotely located solar farm. At Arcadia, we run the largest community solar operation in the country, helping tens of thousands (soon to be hundreds of thousands!) of customers to support local solar projects and save on their power bills, all without requiring any installation on the customer’s property.

This individual will be responsible for managing community solar client relationships and operations across a wide range of state and utility programs.

• Initiate and manage communications with current and future potential community solar subscribers (e.g. enrollment campaigns, project updates, savings reports, and more)
• Track important project milestones, including subscription enrollments and enrollment timelines, savings results, and more
• Prepare and present reports for external energy industry partners and make operational improvements based on partner feedback
• Become a community solar subject matter expert and contribute to our knowledgebase of utility-specific operating procedures and regulations
• Collaborate with the Member Experience team to help answer customer questions or troubleshoot account issues
• Build relationships with utility representatives to maintain active community solar subscriptions and ensure accurate bill crediting
