About the company
UGE develops, owns, and operates community and commercial solar plus battery storage projects, primarily in the United States. UGE also works with building owners and landowners to host projects and offers subscription-style community solar participation. UGE highlights 700+ projects and 500+ MW of experience across the business. UGE became majority-owned by NOVA Infrastructure in 2024.
Locations and presence
UGE lists New York, NY as a core office and also shows a Toronto office address on the website. Public company profiles also tie UGE to broader North America operations, consistent with community solar development and operations work.
Palpable Score
59.4
/ 100
UGE has some real early-career history via internships and junior-adjacent roles, and UGE’s hiring basics look structured with a standard ATS and generally positive interview sentiment. The cap on the score is that current openings skew experienced, and public proof of junior progression and pay clarity is patchy.
Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

10.3
/ 20
  • The company’s current “Current Openings” list is small and tilted toward experienced hires, including PV System Drafter II (3–5 years) and a senior procurement role.
  • UGE has a visible track record of internships and junior-adjacent roles through public review and interview records that reference internship hiring and campus recruiting.
  • The company does not show a steady, always-on set of 0–3 year roles across functions on the official careers surface right now, which limits graduate entry points today.
Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

13.8
/ 20
  • The company routes applications through BambooHR, and the official site lists openings in a consistent way rather than scattering them across multiple places.
  • UGE has multiple interview reports describing a structured, multi-step flow (HR then hiring manager, sometimes a model submission for finance, and internship process descriptions).
  • The company rarely publishes salary bands in the official listings visible from the website, which reduces transparency for early-career applicants comparing offers.
Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

12.0
/ 20
  • The company publishes candidate-facing career education content, including a “Searching for Jobs in Solar” guide and pointers to the solar career map and training pathways.
  • UGE’s internship interview reports explicitly describe someone walking candidates through what the internship would look like, which suggests a defined scope rather than “figure it out when you arrive.”
  • The company does not publicly spell out repeatable early-career support mechanics like a buddy system, ramp plan, or review cadence inside the job descriptions that are easiest to access.
Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

11.5
/ 20

Pillar 4 reasoning:

  • The company states that compensation includes a competitive salary, quarterly bonuses, and health, dental, and vision insurance on the official site.
  • UGE’s public compensation sentiment is mixed, with mid-range ratings for pay and benefits on employee review platforms and comments that pay could be higher.
  • The company does not consistently provide pay ranges per role on the official careers surface, which caps confidence for early-career pay fairness.
Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

11.8
/ 20
  • The company has a solid overall recommendation rate and strong category ratings for work-life balance and culture on public review platforms, which supports retention signals.
  • UGE has also attracted sharp negative reviews about senior management in prior years, which introduces risk and variability depending on team and period.
  • The company has limited public, trackable early-career outcome evidence such as promotion timelines, intern-to-full-time conversion rates, or typical progression from analyst/associate roles.
