Sales Development Representative

Over the past decade, the Solar industry in the greater New York area has experienced exponential growth driven by national and state leading renewable energy policies, incentives, and political leadership. With nearly 200,000 solar installations in the state, and growth expected to double over the next 5 years, solar power still only constitutes approximately 5% of the energy mix in New York. Led by surging homeowner demand and necessity, New York state is primed not only for historic growth in the solar energy industry, but also the energy storage, smart home appliance, and whole-home electrification markets.

With 20 years of experience installing solar and battery storage systems, EmPower Solar is uniquely positioned to be the category leader and help customers across the region on their path to total home electrification.
