RE-volv for Solar Employers

We listened to employers like you and students before designing our best-in-class sustainability fellowship program. Since 2014, we have trained nearly 400 Solar Ambassadors with real-world work experience and special skills in solar energy, technology, finance, policy, event planning, project management, communications, and community engagement. Our Ambassadors have gone on to work for top companies in solar and sustainability including Sunpower, Sunrun, Open Solar, 3 Degrees, Solstice, and Mosaic.

RE-volv Employer Partners make this work possible and benefit from our talent pool and training programs.

RE-volv’s Solar Ambassador Fellowship trains the next generation of clean energy leaders while providing Ambassadors with the skills and tools to bring solar to a nonprofit in their community.

We provide our Solar Ambassadors with professional development opportunities, including training in solar energy, technology, sales, and finance, event planning, communications, and community engagement as well as project management experience in bringing solar to a local nonprofit. Solar Ambassadors work in teams to bring solar to a local nonprofit, including finding nonprofit leads, walking the nonprofit through the solar proposal, hosting a ribbon cutting event, creating a highlight video, and educating the community about solar.

As part of the Solar Ambassador program, Fellows gain the skills needed to be a competitive candidate for a variety of positions at solar companies upon graduation.

Our Certificate of Completion is a 120-hour certificate that Solar Ambassador Fellows receive after the successful completion of the year-long Fellowship experience. The Certificate of Completion provides employers with confidence that the Solar Ambassador Alumni successfully completed the requirements of the Fellowship and are prepared to successfully enter the solar and renewable energy fields.
