What They Do

GreenLancer operates as an innovative online marketplace that connects solar contractors with specialized service partners to address gaps in engineering, procurement, construction, maintenance, permitting, and interconnection workflows (source: greenlancer.com). Initially focused on solar permitting and engineering support, the company has expanded its offerings to include solar repairs, maintenance, upgrades, completion services, and EV charging-related services (source: greenlancer.com) (source: greenlancer.com). Their web-based platform enables solar installers to shop for services such as permit design, engineering, structural and electrical reviews, site acquisition, and solar proposals from a network of on-demand providers (source: contactout.com). GreenLancer serves a diverse clientele including solar contractors, EPCs, financiers, property owners, homeowners, and financial institutions, offering services like solar permit design, PE stamping, diagnostics, retrofits, repairs, upgrades, and interconnection support (source: greenlancer.com) (source: greenlancer.com). The company emphasizes operational support through software-enabled service networks rather than hardware manufacturing or utility-scale generation (source: greenlancer.com) (source: greenlancer.com).

Projects & Track Record

GreenLancer has supported over 7,500 contractors across more than 200,000 clean-energy projects nationwide, facilitating approximately $2.5 billion deployed in solar energy and EV charging stations (source: greenlancer.com) (source: greenlancer.com). Since its inception, the company has enabled over 150,000 homeowners and businesses to adopt solar power (source: greenlancer.com). Their service coverage spans all 50 states through a nationwide vendor network, offering solar design and engineering, installation and repairs, permit and engineering services, EV charging station services, underground surveys, and interconnection applications (source: residentsolarpower.com). This extensive track record highlights GreenLancer’s role as a critical enabler in the clean-energy sector, providing scalable and standardized outsourced services to a broad client base.

Recent Developments

In the past two years, GreenLancer has actively expanded its operational and analytical capabilities through targeted hiring. The company posted a Field Services Coordinator role in Detroit to manage installations and maintenance across solar, battery, EV charging, and telecommunications projects, offering onsite/hybrid or remote work options (source: greenlancer.com). Additionally, a Solar Interconnection Coordinator position was advertised to establish and support an interconnection services department, focusing on application tracking, utility communication, compliance, and workflow development (source: greenlancer.com). The company also sought a Power BI Implementation Specialist to build business intelligence infrastructure, including ETL strategy, data modeling, and dashboard development, requiring onsite presence in Detroit multiple days per week (source: greenlancer.com). These developments demonstrate GreenLancer’s commitment to strengthening its operational, interconnection, and data analytics functions.

Working There

GreenLancer’s workforce is primarily based in Detroit, Michigan, with roles offering onsite, hybrid, and remote work arrangements depending on the position (source: greenlancer.com). The company hires across various functions including field operations, interconnection coordination, data/business intelligence, and customer-facing project coordination, reflecting a multidisciplinary team structure (source: greenlancer.com) (source: greenlancer.com). Job postings emphasize qualities such as strong organization, communication, teamwork, time management, adaptability, and a highly positive, can-do attitude (source: greenlancer.com).
