What I'm looking for

I’m looking for part-time and contract roles in sales, business development and technical sales, especially in solar and clean energy or with companies selling into Brazil and Latin America. I also take project-based work with U.S. solar installers: PV design, sales proposals and sales funnel setup. Full overlap with U.S. business hours.

At São Miguel Solar, I built the company’s sales funnel from paid lead generation through qualification, proposals, negotiation, and close. The company has delivered 3.18 MWp across more than 300 systems approved for utility interconnection, and I personally close deals and support customers after installation.

I lead a 13-person field and office team and design residential and commercial grid-tied systems up to 142 kWp. I take projects from layouts and string design through utility interconnection approval, installation, rapid shutdown, and commissioning.

On a 124 kWp supermarket rooftop project, I handled design and string layout through installation, rapid shutdown integration, and commissioning. I’m looking for remote roles in sales, business development, and technical sales, as well as contract work with U.S. solar installers.
