The pandemic brought about a change in many ways. This isolation and insecurity period they led many people to reevaluate their careers and priorities. Professionals started looking for meaningful jobs. Now, more Americans are looking for jobs in the clean energy sector.
There are many opportunities. The Inflation Reduction Act introduced in the United States opened the market for clean energy and increased demand. Finding the right career for you is the first step if you want to change the world. SunPower, the oldest solar company in America, is a great place to start.
SunPower has more than 37 years of experience in the solar industry. This is due to its innovative technology, sustainable efforts, and business practices. We are the industry leader and continue to push the bar to serve homeowners and our workforce. Here are some ways SunPower creates a great work environment for fellow world changers.
SunPower aligns employees with company values
SunPower has identified six values as being fundamental to all that we do.
Safety is our priority
We innovate relentlessly
We are quick and agile

We Do the Right Thing
We are responsible
These values form the basis of our company’s beliefs and encourage us to go beyond the status quo. These values drive our sustainability efforts. We are accountable for our actions, whether building an electric vehicle fleet to reduce our carbon footprint or certifying our headquarters in California as a Certified Green Business.
SunPower encourages its employees to follow suit. SunPower employees can take time off as volunteers to support causes that matter to them. We know that every person has a role in changing the world.
SunPower promotes diversity
SunPower gives everyone a chance to be heard and seen. Diversity is important, and we have created several employee resource groups that support the diverse range of world-changers we employ. These groups include:

SunPower has also adopted the 25×25 Initiative, which will provide SunPower with even more opportunities to diversify its fleet. SunPower Foundation, for example, recently granted $100,000 to GRID Alternatives (a solar energy company) and Solar Energy International to develop training programs aimed at women in the solar industry. This Initiative supports SunPower’s goal to achieve a 40% female employee base by 2025.
