Rental homes are lagging behind in the energy transition: less than 0.1% of rental properties have solar, which is about 100x less than owner-occupied homes. This gap is a massive climate challenge, equity problem, and missed economical opportunity.
Why is there virtually no solar in the rental market? Today, split incentives are the key roadblock holding back solar adoption on rentals - rental property owners can't profit from solar when tenants pay energy bills and get the associated savings.
This problem is exactly why we're building Fram Energy, an end-to-end software solution that solves the split incentive issue by empowering solar panel owners to monetize on-site generated electricity via their tenants' energy bills. For property owners, we open up a new income stream whilst simultaneously addressing net zero goals. For renters, we lower energy bills and enable access to clean energy. For the planet, we unlock gigawatts worth of emissions reduction.
Fram Energy has raised over $2.4M in venture capital and non-dilutive funding and was named the top U.S. solar startup by The Department of Energy in the 2024 Solar Prize Competition. Our first pilot is up and running, with tenants paying their bills every month through Fram Energy.
Charlotte Meerstadt founded Fram Energy in 2023. We are building a purpose-driven, highly functioning and joyful team to deliver on all these promises. Read more about our culture here.
As one of our first hires, you will be a big part of Fram Energy’s story. Your core responsibilities will be:
You will collaborate intensively with the broader Fram Energy team. This role is a great opportunity to drive the development of an impactful product, but at this early stage there is always so much to do that you’ll end up getting involved in all kinds of company activities. There will be several different growth paths available to you.
You’ll implement spreadsheets and data frameworks to serve our customers, fuel our strategy, and make sure that our bills are thoroughly vetted before they go out.
We have active projects that are generating hundreds of thousands of datapoints every month and we have a strong need for a team member to own this part of our business.
