SunPower’s mission is to change the way the world is powered. Solar energy is one of the fastest-growing industries in the US. Not only is going solar beneficial for the planet; for most Americans it also saves money vs. buying power from the utility. Studies show that the #1 barrier to solar adoption is concern over how to pay for initial installation. The mission of the SunPower Financial (SPF) is to remove that barrier by making it cheap and easy for customers to go solar. This is a “ground floor” opportunity, and the ideal candidate is a true builder. Raising the bar for customer experience in SPF is core to SunPower’s strategy, and this role will play a critical leadership role in driving future growth.
