Executive Search Services for the Solar PV Sector

Partner-led senior hiring for utility-scale solar and distributed energy companies.

Specialist Talent Acquisition for the Solar Industry.

The global shift to solar energy is accelerating. But scaling a successful platform takes more than installed megawatts. It requires visionary leadership, operational depth, and hands-on experience in the solar industry.

At Net Zero Search, we partner with solar developers across the spectrum, from utility-scale platforms to Commercial & Industrial (C&I) and behind-the-meter energy providers. We also work closely with infrastructure investors, independent power producers (IPPs), and clean energy operators.

We recruit board-level, C-suite, and senior leaders with the expertise to drive value creation, scale operations, and lead high-performing teams.

Our executive search solutions are built for growth-stage, acquisitive, and asset-backed businesses driving the clean energy transition.

We support a global client base across the solar and PV value chain.

  • Utility-scale solar developers and Independent Power Producers (IPPs) building and scaling large-scale PV portfolios

  • Commercial & Industrial (C&I) solar and storage providers delivering behind-the-meter energy solutions for businesses

You’re not hiring a logo. You’re hiring outcomes. So ask yourself: is your current search partner actually delivering value? Or are they just a big name you use to cover yourself when the hire underdelivers?

Don’t Overpay for Mediocrity. Solar moves fast. Traditional search doesn’t.

Traditional Search Firms:

  • Charge 30–50% of total comp

  • Start every search from zero

  • Hand off delivery to junior researchers

  • Limited by restrictive hands-off agreements
