Solar Service Technician - Commercial
Commercial Solar Service Technician
Location: Chandler, AZ (Servicing the Phoenix Valley & Statewide)
Job Type: Full-Time, Hourly Schedule: Monday to Friday (Occasional overnight travel with advanced notice; hotel and per diem covered)
The Opportunity: Long-Term Commercial O&M Partnerships
Commercial customers across the valley don't just need a solar installation; they require a dedicated, long-term Operations & Maintenance (O&M) partner to protect and maximize their large-scale energy investments. Because commercial solar operates at a much larger and more complex scale—often up to 2 MW in size—these businesses rely on the deep expertise and stability of an established provider.
Sun Valley Solar Solutions has been a trusted industry leader for 20 years. While we offer the top-tier resources and benefits of a large corporation, we fiercely maintain the supportive, collaborative feel of a smaller business. If you have a diversified background in building and maintaining high-capacity commercial systems and want to build a long-term career with a company known for its quality and stability, we want you on our team.
What You Will Do in the Field
Based locally in the field with a company-issued work vehicle, you will operate independently or with a team to ensure large-scale commercial systems run safely and at peak performance.
- Commercial O&M & Troubleshooting: Diagnose and repair large-scale commercial installations, isolating ground faults, down inverters, down strings, and bad panels on systems up to 2 MW.
- Commissioning & Testing: Perform insulation testing, I-V curve testing, thermal imagery, and OEM testing using tools like Fluke IR cameras.
- Networking & Monitoring: Install, configure, and troubleshoot commercial-scale monitoring equipment.
- System Upgrades & Modifications: Perform uninstallations and reinstallations (R&R) for roof repairs, install EV charging stations, and assist with equipment warranty/RMA processes.
- Documentation: Accurately report findings and detail equipment (including serial numbers) using your laptop or phone via our field service CRM software.
