Hire Product Manager for Solar Companies
Senior, direct, no layers

For solar companies, the product question is rarely whether to build. It is what to build first, for whom, and what to stop building. Installs depend on surveys, parts, scaffolding and grid paperwork all lining up — and incentive deadlines punish any slip.

That cycle is why roadmaps matter here. Summer install peaks and incentive deadlines drive the calendar, with winter used for surveys and maintenance. Without one, every quarter's loudest request becomes the plan, and the product drifts.

This engagement puts one person in charge of the product for your solar companies: what gets built, in what order, and how success is judged — starting from a residential kit and the users who actually pay for it. Book a free discovery call and we will test the fit on one product decision before any wider scope is agreed.

The product already runs on System design software, a CRM, monitoring portals and supplier ordering. The product gap is usually upstream of the tools: no discovery habit, no prioritisation method, and a roadmap that is really a wishlist.

Discovery is done with the existing team, not handed to them finished. When the installations manager has heard users say it themselves, the roadmap stops being a matter of opinion.

A sensible first project is one product decision with real stakes — the roadmap for a residential kit is a good candidate — judged by whether the next release is smaller, sharper and better used than the last.

Installs completed on the booked date, systems monitored so faults are caught before customers notice, and maintenance that keeps generation high. On the product side, that shows up as a tighter range: a residential kit and a commercial system each with a clear audience and a reason to exist, and releases that users actually adopt.

Over time the team stops asking what to build next and starts asking what users need next — which is the whole point. Browse all hire engagements or discuss your product directly.
