Product Tester Needed for Rapidly Growing Solar Startup at Solar Lead Factory

“…solar power will be the single largest source of electricity generation… People do not understand the magnitude of the business. It’s really very, very significant.”

- Elon Musk

Once a fringe technology “going solar” is now mainstream. It took over 30 years for the first 1 million solar installations to be completed. It only took another 3 years to install the second million. Over the next 2 years another 1 million homes will go solar and there are 90 million American households to go after that!

With rapid growth, mainstream adoption, and a presidential mandate to hit a 100% clean-energy economy by 2050 comes massive investment and opportunity in the space. Installation companies are growing quickly, making them hungry for even more growth.The technology is dialed, the installation process is clean, but it’s still a challenge to find customers.
