Soly

Sales Consultant

FULL TIME

November 13, 2024

In your role as a Sales Consultant, you will be part of our ambitious and rapidly growing sales team based in Cape Town (De Waterkant).
As our Sales Consultant, you are responsible for helping homeowners throughout South Africa to switch away from Eskom to solar panels and home batteries. On a weekly basis, you receive leads who are looking for solar and batteries, and you are the consultant who helps them achieve their goal of switching to renewable and affordable energy.
As our Sales Consultant, you’ll...
  • Conduct virtual sales consultations with potential customers.
  • Use your commercial skills to convince warm leads - people who actively show an interest in our products - to make Soly their preferred solar energy supplier and contribute to the growth of our business.
  • Provide clients with customised solutions that allow them to save costs, be part of the green energy transition, and maximize the benefits of our solar energy system.
  • By building up and growing your own customer base, you will make a significant contribution to a more sustainable South Africa.
  • Make sure that the switch to solar energy and batteries is smooth, quick and with a high customer satisfaction.
Your profile
  • 3+ years experience working in commercial roles (account manager, business developer, sales manager).
  • Experience in renewable energy is a preference.
  • Energetic, motivated individuals ready to embrace the Soly philosophy – no compromises, just commitment to our vision.
  • An outgoing and communicative personality is a good way to describe you and you are a true team player.
  • Have a keen interest in selling sustainable products, and you are tech-savvy.
What we offer you
  • We offer you an exciting job in a fast-growing and ambitious B2C and B2B solar scale-up, with the opportunity to make affordable and sustainable solar energy possible for thousands of people per year.
  • Take responsibility from day one! With us, you have the freedom to drive your topics forward independently and to follow a steep learning curve.
  • We offer an attractive compensation package including a monthly salary, performance-related bonus, and the possibility to join as a shareholder via our employee stock option plan.
  • Work in our office in De Waterkant, surrounded by highly skilled and motivated colleagues, daily lunches, regular drinks, and larger team events.
  • You will work at an international B-corp and can immediately contribute to a more sustainable world.
Working for a bright future. It is possible!
About Soly
Soly is an international Clean Energy Tech company on a mission to make solar energy available to everyone. The company was founded in the summer of 2013 by brothers Patrick and Milan van der Meulen. The brothers were inspired at a young age by Al Gore's documentary 'An Inconvenient Truth' and have since decided to use their entrepreneurship 'As a force for good'.
The company is today one of the European market leaders in the field of decentralized energy generation and storage through solar panels, batteries and charging stations. Soly focuses on the residential and business markets and is active in the Netherlands, South Africa (2019), Belgium (2022), Germany (2023), the United Kingdom (2023), Italy (2024) and Austria (2024). By developing its own software platform, Soly is one of the most capital-efficient energy suppliers with only 140 employees in seven countries.
The Soly platform won a place in the Deloitte Technology Fast50 in 2021. Soly is an impact-driven company and has been B-corp certified since 2018. B-corp is an international label for companies that strive for the highest standards in sustainability, financial transparency and social justice.
We are a B Corp: Business as a force for good

Thousands of households and companies switch to solar energy with us every year. This not only means our sustainable impact is large, but we also have a chain that has a major impact on the earth and countless (direct or indirect) stakeholders. As B Corp, we do everything we can to ensure that this impact is positive for our customers, employees, factory workers, the environment, and everything else we have an impact on.

Being a B Corp is hard work, but it ensures that we are always critical of ourselves and bring out the best in Soly. We set high standards for ourselves, as you can read in our Climate Action Report. But it is precisely those challenges that give us energy.
