The work

Tasks this hire takes

A virtual assistant for solar companies chases proposals, rebates paperwork and install dates.

The salesperson still designs the system and the installer still signs off.

Two jobs shape a normal week for solar: Book site visits the salesperson will run, and chase electricity bills for the proposal. Firms hire for that rhythm, not for an empty inbox.

  • Book site visits the salesperson will run

  • Chase electricity bills for the proposal

  • Update the install date in OpenSolar

  • Prep rebate paperwork for the designer to check

  • Confirm the customer the day before install

Book site visits the salesperson will run. For solar, that work sits beside OpenSolar or Aurora for the proposal file. The principal still makes the call above it.

Chase electricity bills for the proposal. Ask each finalist for solar when they last did this, and whether they did it in OpenSolar or Aurora for the proposal file.

The brief for solar should treat this as a standing job: update the install date in OpenSolar. OpenSolar or Aurora for the proposal file is where the office checks it.

Prep rebate paperwork for the designer to check. If the hire has not used OpenSolar or Aurora for the proposal file, the first month for solar includes learning it, and the principal still reviews the output.

Confirm the customer the day before install. For solar, write down what done looks like, and who is told when it is finished.
