Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Sales Jobs at Sunrun Jobs
Frame your solar sales experience clearly
Sunrun's Sales roles focus on residential solar consultations, not traditional retail or SaaS sales. Tailor your resume to highlight in-home or field sales experience, customer acquisition in high-ticket markets, or energy sector exposure before you apply.
Target territories with active hiring
Sunrun expands Sales headcount market by market as they enter new states. Search their open roles by location and prioritize markets where they're actively scaling, since those hiring managers are more likely to move quickly through the sponsorship conversation.
Understand the H-1B filing window early
H-1B petitions for October 1 start dates must be filed with USCIS in April. If Sunrun extends an offer in late spring or summer, you'll need to plan for a cap-gap period or negotiate a conditional start date tied to the next registration cycle.
Ask HR directly about sponsorship at offer stage
Sunrun sponsors multiple visa types for Sales positions. When you receive an offer, ask the recruiter specifically which visa category they intend to file and whether they use premium processing, so you can plan your authorization timeline without ambiguity.
Use Migrate Mate to find open Sales roles
Sunrun posts Sales positions across multiple markets, and availability shifts frequently. Use Migrate Mate to filter specifically for Sunrun Sales openings that are open to visa sponsorship, so you're applying to roles where sponsorship is already confirmed.

Find Sales at Sunrun JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Sunrun sponsor H-1B visas for Sales roles?
Yes, Sunrun has a consistent record of sponsoring H-1B visas, including for Sales positions. If you receive an offer, the company works with immigration counsel to file the H-1B petition with USCIS. Because the H-1B is subject to an annual cap and lottery, your start date will depend on where you are in the registration cycle when you receive your offer.
How do I apply for Sales jobs at Sunrun?
You can find Sunrun's open Sales positions on their careers page or through Migrate Mate, which filters for roles open to visa sponsorship. Sunrun typically hires Sales reps by territory, so search by the market you're targeting. Expect a multi-stage interview process that includes a role-play or pitch simulation before an offer is extended.
Which visa types does Sunrun sponsor for Sales positions?
Sunrun sponsors H-1B, TN, and F-1 OPT and CPT for Sales roles, and has also filed employment-based Green Card petitions through the EB-2 and EB-3 categories. TN visas are available to Canadian and Mexican nationals in qualifying professional roles. OPT and CPT are typically used for early-career hires before transitioning to an employer-sponsored category.
What qualifications does Sunrun look for in Sales candidates who need sponsorship?
Sunrun's Sales roles generally require a bachelor's degree and direct sales experience, preferably in residential, field, or high-ticket consumer markets. For H-1B eligibility, the role must qualify as a specialty occupation, meaning the degree requirement is a genuine job prerequisite, not a preference. Candidates with a background in energy, construction, or real estate are well-positioned for these roles.
How long does the sponsorship process take for a Sunrun Sales offer?
Timeline depends on your visa category. H-1B standard processing through USCIS takes three to six months after filing, though premium processing can reduce that to around 15 business days. TN status for Canadian nationals can often be obtained at the port of entry on the day you start. OPT authorization is already in place, so no additional filing is required before your start date.
