Good to know:
During our selection process, we only look at the qualities of the candidates. You therefore do not have to add your age, gender, origin or a photo of yourself to your CV. In doing so, we follow our Hiring Code of Conduct.
We are a B Corp: Business as a force for good.
Thousands of households and companies switch to solar energy with us every year. This not only means our sustainable impact is large, but we also have a chain that has a major impact on the earth and countless (direct or indirect) stakeholders. As B Corp, we do everything we can to ensure that this impact is positive for our customers, employees, factory workers, the environment and everything else we have an impact on.
Being a B Corp is hard work, but it ensures that we are always critical of ourselves and bring out the best in Solyl. We set high standards for ourselves, as you can read in our Climate Action Report. But it is precisely those challenges that give us energy.
