About The Position

SunCommon's Solar Customer Experience Specialists are the first voice our customers and prospects hear. This role spans the entire experience from initial contact through ongoing customer support, creating a seamless, joyful experience across the full customer journey — from initial inquiry through ongoing system ownership.

For existing customers, they troubleshoot technical issues, resolve billing inquiries, support system performance questions, and serve as a trusted ongoing resource.
