Hi everyone!
I've been soaking up all your guys's knowledge behind the scenes for a bit now but this is my first post- and I just want to start by saying thanks for everyones expertise and willingness to share. It's been a great experience.
I'll get right to the point- I want to start my own solar company! FWIW I've always wanted to own my own busines. I come from a mechatronics engineering background and have always had a passion for alternate energy and just finding better ways to do things in general, and I think I've really found a point in solar where all those things converge into one.
Let me clarify however that in no way is my intention to promote or advertise. I've researched here a ton already and I'm sure I will have a lot of more pointed questions to post in the future and I value the privelage of utilizing this forum.
As I am performing my due dilligence market research, I feel like I would be making a mistake if I didn't see what you guys had to say about this endeavor. Without sharing anything too proprietary, my hope is to establish my minimum viable product(or service rather) through your run of the mill solar installs and an aggressivley competitive ROI model, and then gradually moving on to some other niche corners and innovations in the energy market.
So forgive me if this is too broad of a question for a single thread, but what do you guys think? Any food for thought is welcome really. Is it a good time to do this? Is competing with the bigger solar companies foolish? Do you see it being difficult to secure funding? Are people receptive enough yet? What could one do to be succesful in aspects that bigger companies fail to do?
Feel free to grill me with any questions as well. And thanks again everyone!
