The job
Three moves. Every day.
Meet homeowners in your territory with the team. Most people have never had solar explained to them straight.
Show them what their SCE bill is doing, and what a Sunrun plan does instead. You learn the numbers in training.
Set the home review, walk them through the paperwork, and get paid when the deal reaches install.

Why it sells
+101%
SCE’s average residential rate doubled in ten years.
17.2¢ per kWh in 2016. 34.5¢ in 2026. The most expensive hours are 4pm to 9pm, right when families get home. Homeowners feel it every month. Your job is to show them a lower, predictable rate from Sunrun.
Rates from SCE published averages. Verify before quoting a homeowner.
Solar 101 for new reps →Your coach
Discipline first.
Everything else follows.
Boxer. Top-performing Fitness Manager at EOS Fitness. Founder of Sage Academy. Sage coached hundreds of people to show up and do the work. Now Sage is building a solar team the same way: high standards, straight answers, and a coach who is in the field with you.
Meet Sage →Straight answers.
Do I need sales experience?
No. Most of the team started with none. Sage trains the pitch, the numbers and the follow-through. What you need is discipline: show up, put in the reps, stay coachable.
Is this door to door?
Yes, a big part of it is meeting homeowners in person in your territory, as a team. You also run appointments with homeowners who are ready to talk numbers.
Am I a Sunrun employee?
No. Sage Academy Solar is an independent Sunrun sales partner. You sell Sunrun systems on Sage's team, as a 1099 independent contractor.
How and when do I get paid?
Every closed deal pays a base commission, paid when the deal reaches install. Closing bonuses stack on top, and retention bonuses pay out as you hit 30 days, 90 days, 6 months and a year.
Full-time or part-time?
Both. Full-time reps move up the ladder fastest, but part-time and evenings-and-weekends schedules work too. Tell Sage what you can commit to when you apply.
Does training cost anything?
No. Training with Sage and the team is free. You'll need a phone and reliable transportation to get to your territory.
