Job Description

As a Customer Support Representative at Energy Toolbase, you are the frontline expert helping solar developers and energy professionals maximize the value of our platform. You will provide high-level technical assistance, ensuring users can accurately simulate project economics, analyze utility rates, and deploy energy storage systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Modeling & Simulation Troubleshooting: Guide users through the end-to-end process of creating solar + storage proposals. Troubleshoot why specific financial or performance results are appearing, ensuring the platform's logic aligns with the user's project goals.
• Utility Rate Analysis: Investigate and resolve discrepancies in utility rate schedules. This includes verifying global rate data, explaining net-metering configurations, and helping users apply the correct "avoided cost" calculations.
• Case Lifecycle Management: Own the intake and triage process within Salesforce. Ensure every ticket is categorized correctly, prioritized by urgency, and documented with detailed steps taken toward resolution.
• Interval Data Scrubbing: Support users in uploading and formatting large sets of interval data (Green Button, 15-minute, or hourly data). Identify and fix formatting errors in CSV/Excel files that prevent successful data visualization.
• Bug Identification & Reproduction: When a software anomaly is reported, perform testing to replicate the issue, and document reproduce steps.
• Feature Advocacy: Monitor common user pain points and feature requests, providing regular feedback to the Tier 2 team to help shape the Energy Toolbase roadmap.
• Global Rate Database Maintenance: Research, update, and activate global utility rate schedules within the platform to ensure users have access to the most current and accurate tariff data.

• Technical Aptitude: Strong background in SaaS platforms; experience with Salesforce to manage customer interactions.
• Industry Knowledge: Basic understanding of the solar industry, including PV system performance, net-metering policies, and energy storage basics.
• Data Proficiency: Ability to work with Excel/CSV files and diagnose web-app performance issues.
• Analytical Mindset: A proactive approach to problem-solving, particularly when dealing with complex utility rate math or performance simulations.

Preferred Experience

• Previous experience using Energy Toolbase or similar solar modeling software (e.g., Helioscope, Aurora Solar).
