Solar Media Careers
Welcome to Solar Media
Our people create high quality journalism, business intelligence and events that drive critical decisions in the clean transition of global energy markets.
We know that technology and sustainability hold the keys to securing a healthy future for the world, and so our business-to-business platforms focus on four core renewable energy segments: solar PV, energy storage, the modernisation of energy systems and electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
Operating since 2006, Solar Media Ltd, organises more than 26 international conferences that are visited by more than 8,000 delegates in person each year, and produces reliable and insightful analysis that reaches over 400,000 individuals world-wide.
Our actions internally and externally are governed by our core values: Impact, Integrity and Forward Thinking. These principles are at the forefront in everything we do, ensuring that we create an open and collaborative workplace that drives us to achieve our ambitious goals personally and collectively.
