Job Description

ROLE PURPOSE

Research Analysts conduct original quantitative and qualitative research on the market and deliver analysis through the creation of data services, written reports, virtual and in-person presentations, and custom research engagements. This role in particular will focus on data collection, data analysis, and working with large datasets to get the most out of our comprehensive project-level data on millions of distributed solar projects across the US. It would be preferred for a candidate to have some experience in the solar or renewable energy industries.
