Executive Search Built for Solar and Energy Storage

Your next hire will shape the next five years of your business. In solar and energy storage, that is not an exaggeration. The right VP of Development can unlock a market. The right Head of EPC can be the difference between a project delivered on time and one that stalls. Get the leadership hire wrong, and the cost is measured in lost time, lost pipeline, and lost momentum in a sector that does not wait.

That is why Root Search Group exists.

We Specialize in Solar and Energy Storage

We are not a generalist recruitment firm that happens to take on the odd clean energy role. Solar and energy storage is our specialism. That focus means we understand interconnection queues, permitting timelines, evolving incentive structures, and the supply chain pressures shaping your hiring decisions, because we live in this market every day, not because we researched it before a client call.

That depth shows up in the network we can reach. When we go looking for your next Head of Development, VP of Investments, or Director of Operations, we are not starting from a generic database. We are drawing on relationships built specifically inside solar and energy storage.

We Search on a Retained Basis, Because Your Search Deserves It

We work retained, not contingency. That is a deliberate choice. A retained search means we are fully committed to your role from day one, not racing three other agencies to the same candidate on a best efforts basis. It means we invest properly in sourcing, vetting, and getting the fit right, because we are accountable for the outcome, not just for being first.

For a leadership hire in a sector moving as fast as this one, that is not a nice to have. It is the only model that delivers the level of search these roles actually need.

The Team Behind the Results

Search results like these do not come from a database, they come from a team that knows the sector and cares about getting it right. We have built Root Search Group around people who take the time to understand a client's culture and goals before we ever pick up the phone to a candidate. It is that combination, sector fluency and genuine care about the outcome, that we believe sets us apart, and it is why clients come back to us for their next hire.

What Working With Us Looks Like

We start with a proper conversation about your company, your culture, and what success in the role actually looks like. From there, we build a search strategy specific to that role and go straight to direct, targeted outreach across our solar and energy storage network. You see detailed, vetted profiles, not a pile of resumes to sort through yourself. We manage the process end to end, through interviews, offer, and negotiation, and we check in after placement to make sure the hire is delivering.

Throughout, you are working with a partner who is fully committed to your search, not one agency among several chasing the same role.

Building the Leadership Team Your Growth Requires

If you are scaling in solar or energy storage, your leadership team is the constraint that determines how fast and how well you can grow. Root Search Group exists to remove that constraint, with a retained, specialist search built for this sector and a track record you can check.
