Commercial Sales Associate

Commercial solar isn’t something most people think about every day. Most picture panels on homes, but the commercial side is where long-term impact happens. Companies, developers, architects, and general contractors turn to solar because it lowers costs, strengthens energy resilience, and supports smarter building. That’s where Sandbox Solar comes in.

We’ve grown quickly here in Northern Colorado, and we’ve done it by keeping our focus on people, craftsmanship, and genuine partnership. That approach has earned us recognition from No

CO Style, Biz West, Nextdoor, Denver Business Journal, Solar Power World, and the International Electrical Contractors.
