Myth

"A job in solar is probably just temporary contract work, with no real stability or benefits."

Fact

We built Shift differently because we believe our strength is our people. We invest in our team by hiring our certified installers and experts as full-time employees. This approach creates stable, long-term careers and ensures every project is completed to our high standards of quality. When you join Shift, you're not a contractor; you're a valued part of a dedicated team.
