Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Sales Consultant Jobs at Sunrun Jobs
Frame your solar sales credentials early
Sunrun evaluates Sales Consultants on consultative selling ability and comfort with in-home or door-to-door environments. Before applying, document any commission-based or residential sales experience that maps directly to solar adoption conversations.
Target markets with the highest open roles
Sunrun's Sales Consultant openings cluster in high-solar states like California, Florida, and Texas. Focusing your applications on these markets increases the likelihood you reach a hiring manager with authority to initiate sponsorship discussions.
Clarify OPT duration before accepting an offer
Sales Consultant roles at Sunrun are full-time W-2 positions, which qualify for standard F-1 OPT. If you have fewer than six months of OPT remaining at offer stage, raise the H-1B cap-subject timeline with the recruiter immediately to avoid a gap in work authorization.
Understand how TN status fits this role
Canadian and Mexican nationals may qualify for TN status in a management consultant category if the Sales Consultant role includes territory planning and client strategy responsibilities. Confirm the job description supports that classification before relying on TN as your sponsorship path.
Use Migrate Mate to filter Sunrun openings by visa type
Sunrun posts Sales Consultant roles across multiple job boards, but not all listings signal sponsorship eligibility. Use Migrate Mate to filter Sunrun positions by the visa types they actively support, so you apply only where sponsorship is confirmed.
Confirm LCA prevailing wage coverage with HR before signing
USCIS requires that H-1B workers receive the higher of the actual or prevailing wage as certified on the Labor Condition Application filed with DOL. Ask Sunrun's HR team to confirm the LCA wage level for your specific territory before you accept any compensation package.

Find Sales Consultant at Sunrun JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Sunrun sponsor H-1B visas for Sales Consultants?
Yes, Sunrun has sponsored H-1B visas for Sales Consultants. The role must qualify as a specialty occupation under USCIS standards, which typically requires demonstrating that a bachelor's degree in a specific field is a normal requirement for the position. Sunrun's HR and legal teams manage the petition process, but you'll want to raise sponsorship early in recruiting conversations to confirm it applies to your specific territory and role level.
How do I apply for Sales Consultant jobs at Sunrun?
You can apply through Sunrun's careers page or through Migrate Mate, which filters Sunrun's open Sales Consultant roles by visa sponsorship type so you can see which positions are relevant to your situation. Tailor your application to emphasize residential or field sales experience, since Sunrun's Sales Consultant roles are heavily focused on in-home consultations and community outreach rather than enterprise or B2B sales.
Which visa types does Sunrun commonly use for Sales Consultant roles?
Sunrun has supported H-1B, F-1 OPT, F-1 CPT, TN, and employment-based Green Card pathways including EB-2 and EB-3 for this function. F-1 OPT is the most straightforward entry point for recent graduates since it doesn't require employer petition filing upfront. H-1B and Green Card sponsorship involve longer timelines and more employer commitment, so those conversations are best initiated once you have a strong offer in hand.
What qualifications does Sunrun look for in Sales Consultant candidates?
Sunrun typically looks for candidates with demonstrated experience in commission-based or consultative sales, particularly in residential or field-based environments. A bachelor's degree is often expected, and it becomes especially relevant if you're pursuing H-1B sponsorship, since USCIS requires the role to be tied to a specific academic discipline. Bilingual candidates, particularly Spanish speakers, have a practical advantage in many of Sunrun's core markets.
How do I time my application around visa sponsorship deadlines?
If you're on F-1 OPT, the H-1B cap registration window opens in March each year, with an October 1 start date for selected petitions. That means you need an offer and a willing employer by late February at the latest to be included in that cycle. If your OPT expires before October 1 and you're selected in the lottery, a timely filed H-1B petition can provide a cap-gap period that extends your work authorization automatically under USCIS rules.
