Solar Operations Coordinator ( VA)
This is a remote position.
Solar Operations Coordinator
Role Overview
We are looking for an experienced Solar Operations Coordinator to support the administration and coordination of residential solar projects from initial grid application through installation, completion, and customer handover.
The ideal candidate has a strong understanding of residential solar operations, is comfortable managing multiple projects and stakeholders, and can work independently with minimal supervision.
Key Responsibilities

- Coordinate residential solar projects through installation, completion, and handover.
- Prepare and maintain solar handover and completion packs.
- Manage project documentation, installation records, and compliance files.
- Create and update project information in OpenSolar.

- Track project milestones and follow up on outstanding actions to keep projects progressing.
- Support invoicing and general operational administration using QuickBooks.
- Maintain organized project records and communications using Google Workspace.
- Manage multiple projects, priorities, and deadlines while maintaining a high level of accuracy.
