I'm a software engineer with 10 years of experience, no background in solar. Looking to make a career change and would like to explore the realities of jumping into solar, even if it means starting at an entry level position.

Are there any benefits to having a software background outside of working at a solar software company as an engineer? What kind of skills would be necessary to get into a typical solar position?

I've reviewed job postings and the NABCEP Associate certification, but I'm having a hard time figuring out how to get a foot in the door somewhere. On a 2 year timeline, what roles would be possible to get into for a first job in the solar industry?

Recently accepted a contract on micro1 but the login info provided didnt work - the password had been recently changed. Support told me they would look into it, but I haven't heard back for a few days.
