Why Solar Asset Management is an underrated career choice in the U.S. 🇺🇸
Many candidates, especially recent graduates often ask me which area of renewables to focus their careers on. Normally, I see a strong trend toward Project Development—which is a solid choice for many. However, an often overlooked and in my opinion "underrated" path is Asset Management, which is nearly always my top recommendation.
Here’s why:
- Stable Market: Unlike development, which can be impacted by U.S. policy shifts, operational solar assets offer a steady environment, making asset management roles secure and less affected by regulatory changes.
- High Demand, High Reward: With a talent shortage in the U.S. market, skilled asset managers are in high demand—meaning competitive pay, fast career growth, and strong job security.
- Balanced Skill Development: Asset management combines technical and commercial expertise, which gives candidates the best of both worlds — think performance monitoring, data analysis, O&M, plus financial reporting, budgeting, warranties, and contract management.
