Solar AI Technologies makes rooftop solar more accessible and hassle-free by providing zero upfront cost rooftop solar-as-a-service offers for residential and small commercial property owners.
We're a seed stage startup based in Singapore and funded by ENGIE, one of the world's largest renewable energy companies. Our mission is to make it as simple as possible for all property owners to get solar.

In the Business Development role, you’ll support our residential solar sales pipeline, from customer engagement, proposal generation through to closing.

We don’t see our interns any differently from one of us. If you’re up for it, lead teams, craft strategies or drive new initiatives – the sky’s the limit. Our past sales interns have started with no sales experience but were coached to close up to $150K of revenues a month.

- Assist in crafting proposals and communications materials to assist in business development
- Identify and evaluate new opportunities for business development and partnerships
Who we’re looking for
