How to Apply for Compliance Analyst

at Solar Landscape

🏢 About Solar Landscape

Solar Landscape is unique because it focuses specifically on transforming community rooftops into renewable energy sources, directly serving local communities rather than just commercial clients. Their mission combines environmental impact with community benefit, making them a purpose-driven company in the growing community solar sector. Working here means contributing to both carbon reduction and community energy savings in a tangible way.

About This Role

This Compliance Analyst role specifically manages subscriber compliance for community solar projects, ensuring all reporting requirements to utilities and program administrators are met accurately and on time. You'll be central to maintaining Solar Landscape's operational integrity by tracking deadlines, managing documentation, and supporting DTC compliance workflows. Your work directly enables communities to access renewable energy while ensuring regulatory compliance across multiple jurisdictions.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day involves reviewing subscriber documentation submissions, updating compliance tracking spreadsheets with upcoming utility reporting deadlines, and coordinating with internal teams on DTC compliance issues. You might spend time developing standardized checklists for new community solar projects while fielding questions from subscriber organizations about documentation requirements. The remote nature means frequent virtual collaboration with operations, legal, and customer teams across different time zones.
