- Excellent communication and problem solving skills, both with internal staff and external partners

- On- and offboarding of employees, including hardware provision (Windows, & Mac) and access to required tools from the first day of work
- Maintenance and improvement of the IT infrastructure at the workplace (e.g. TV, printer, scanner, conference room equipment)
- Hardware management: Management of zolar-owned devices, including inventory, lifecycle monitoring and repairs

Our take
The demand for green energy is soaring. Across Europe, homes are now being heated and powered by green, more sustainable energy sources and it’s something that is here to stay. However, until Zolar, installing residential solar systems was a logistical and regulatory headache for any eco-conscious homeowner.
Zolar is a digital platform for individual solar solutions tailored to the needs of modern homeowners for green energy. With a completely digital shopping experience, the greentech startup offers easy and digital access to photovoltaics - democratising the energy source in a unique way.
The company is now focused on meeting soaring demand for solar services which means expanding its impressive Craftship Partner Network to 3000 craft businesses by 2025.
The startup is well positioned to overcome the major hurdles constraining the residential solar industry currently: consumer perception being based in outdated early 2000s misinformation and the complexity of making a purchase. If it can shape the market in this way, it has the potential to make a huge impact on the world and become a very valuable company indeed.
