About Safe Planet
Safe Planet is an established Australian energy-efficiency company operating since 2019, with a growing team of 30+ professionals across Melbourne, India, the Philippines and Canada.
We currently deliver energy-efficiency solutions across Air Conditioning, Hot Water and Energy-Efficient Lighting, and are now expanding our Residential and commercial Solar & Battery division across Australia.
Safe Planet operates within Australia’s regulated energy-efficiency industry and holds key industry credentials, including:
* Accredited Provider (AP) under the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) Program
* Accredited Certificate Provider (ACP) under the NSW Energy Savings Scheme (ESS)
* Solar Victoria program participation/partnership
* Established Australian operations with an experienced compliance, sales, installation and customer-service network
* Experience delivering energy-efficiency solutions to Australian households at scale
* A growing multi-country team supporting our Australian operations
We are now investing significantly in Solar & Battery as a major growth division and are looking for an experienced salesperson who wants the opportunity to grow with it.
About the Role
We are looking for an experienced Senior Solar & Battery Sales Consultant who understands both the technical and commercial side of Australian residential solar.
This is not a telecalling or basic lead-generation position.
You will work with warm/inbound Australian customers, understand their energy requirements, recommend the right solution, present proposals, handle objections and close Solar & Battery sales.
Key Responsibilities
* Handle warm/inbound Australian Solar & Battery leads
* Conduct professional phone and video consultations
* Analyse electricity bills, consumption and existing solar systems
* Recommend suitable Solar, Inverter & Battery solutions
* Explain system sizing, savings, incentives and backup options
* Prepare and present proposals and quotations
* Handle technical, pricing and ROI-related objections
* Follow up opportunities systematically through to conversion
* Maintain accurate CRM notes and pipeline management
* Coordinate with Australian technical, operations and installation teams
* Help improve sales scripts, processes and conversion rates
* Assist in training and mentoring future Solar & Battery consultants as the division grows
What We’re Looking For
* 2+ years of Solar sales experience
* Australian residential Solar & Battery sales experience strongly preferred
* Proven track record of personally closing sales, not simply generating leads
* Strong understanding of Solar PV, panels, inverters and batteries
* Ability to analyse electricity bills and customer consumption
* Strong understanding of Solar & Battery sizing
* Knowledge of single-phase and three-phase systems
* Familiarity with hybrid inverters, AC/DC coupling and backup solutions
* Understanding of Australian STCs, battery incentives and basic compliance
* Excellent spoken English and professional communication
* Strong consultative selling, objection handling and closing ability
* Disciplined CRM management and customer follow-up
* Comfortable working Australian business hours
Who We’re Looking For
We are not looking for someone who simply reads a script.
We want a genuine Solar & Battery sales professional who can speak with an Australian homeowner, understand their existing system and energy usage, identify the right solution, explain it simply, build trust and close the sale.
We particularly value hungry, hands-on salespeople who take complete ownership of their pipeline rather than waiting to be managed.
As an early member of our Solar & Battery division, the right person will have the opportunity to help shape the division and potentially grow into a senior/team leadership position as we scale nationally.
To Apply
Please include:
* Your Australian Solar/Battery sales experience
* Approximate number of deals personally closed per month
* Solar and battery brands/products you have sold
* Average system sizes you have sold
* Previous Australian solar companies/processes you have worked with
* Current & expected salary
* Notice period / availability
Shortlisted candidates will complete a practical Solar & Battery sales role-play as part of the interview process.
