SOLAR SERVICE TECHNICIAN

Residential Solar Service Technician

Job Summary

We're looking for a skilled Residential Solar Service Technician to join our renewable energy team. In this role, you'll focus on maintaining, troubleshooting, and repairing photovoltaic (PV) systems at residential sites — keeping homeowners' solar investments running safely and efficiently for years to come. You'll bring hands-on electrical expertise, a sharp eye for diagnostics, and a commitment to safety on every job. This is a great fit for someone who enjoys varied work, problem-solving in the field, and helping customers get the most out of their solar systems.

Responsibilities

• Perform routine maintenance, system inspections, and performance checks on residential PV systems to maximize output and system lifespan.
• Diagnose and troubleshoot underperforming or faulty solar systems, identifying issues in inverters, panels, wiring, monitoring equipment, and balance-of-system components.
• Repair or replace defective equipment, including inverters, optimizers, racking, and wiring, in compliance with NEC (NFPA 70) and local code requirements.
• Read and interpret electrical schematics and as-built drawings to guide service work and confirm correct system configuration.
• Safely work on residential rooftops, attics, and crawl spaces, using ladders and fall-protection equipment in line with safety protocols.
• Communicate clearly with homeowners about system findings, repairs performed, and recommendations for ongoing maintenance.
• Complete detailed service reports and maintain accurate records of work performed, parts used, and system performance data.
• Coordinate with dispatch and service coordinators to manage daily service calls efficiently.
• Maintain company vehicle, tools, and equipment in good working order.

Requirements

• Prior experience as a solar service technician, electrician, or in residential PV maintenance/repair.
• Solid understanding of residential-scale low-voltage (LV) and high-voltage (HV) electrical systems.
• Hands-on troubleshooting skills for inverters, monitoring systems, and common PV system faults.
• Comfortable working at heights and in varied residential settings (rooftops, attics, outdoor installations).
• Ability to read electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and system layouts.
• Working knowledge of NEC (NFPA 70) electrical safety standards.
• Proficiency with hand tools, power tools, and ladders; forklift experience a plus.
• Strong customer service skills — comfortable explaining technical issues to homeowners in plain language.
• Valid driver's license and clean driving record.

• Manufacturer certifications (e.g., Enphase, SolarEdge, Tesla) a plus.
• NABCEP certification or equivalent a plus.
• Experience working with photovoltaic systems (installation, service, or maintenance)
