Why I’ll Never Regret Going Solar

Alright, buckle up because I’m about to reveal how I stumbled into the renewable energy biz. It sounds like a tall tale, but it boils down to a simple truth: fate. Imagine this: a young graduate armed with accounting and information systems know-how, trudging through a jungle of job applications, envisioned of climbing the corporate ladder. But lo and behold, destiny had other plans.

One day, I spotted OpenSolar’s call for a customer success specialist. Intrigued by their mission, I thought, “Why not?” and hit ‘submit.’ Before I knew it, I was part of the team. Excited? Absolutely. Anxious? You bet. I mean, sure, I knew what a solar system looked like, but how it actually worked? Not a clue!

In my first few weeks, it felt like I was trying to decipher hieroglyphics in a rocket science class. But you know what they say, practice may not make perfect, but it sure does make progress. Slowly but surely, I went from being a solar rookie to someone who could hold her own in a conversation about photovoltaic cells without breaking a sweat.

And let me tell you, my communication skills went from hiding in the shadows to owning the stage like Beyoncé at Coachella. Thanks to OpenSolar, I transformed from an introvert to someone who says, “I got this!” Hosting online webinars, training, and supporting pros? It’s just like flipping pancakes!

Once I’d found my feet, I decided to challenge myself and transitioned into a product manager role. Not exactly a walk in the park, especially after dusting off those uni textbooks after a two-year hiatus. Here I am, knee-deep in OpenSolar’s Shop project, navigating the world of solar wholesalers and logistics. From solar designs to CRM, who knew OpenSolar would one day venture into the equipment purchasing game? Not me, that’s for sure. But hey, when I saw it, I was blown away by the convenience and perks it offered. The OpenSolar crew never cease to amaze me with their innovation and drive.

So there you have it – my incredible journey with OpenSolar. To all of you who never saw yourselves in this industry, I’ve got one word for you: adventure. Take a leap of faith, and who knows, you might just stumble upon your own slice of solar success. And for those gearing up to join the game, start hustling and innovating. Who knows? Your next big idea could change the world, or maybe the next Tesla.

Remember, every little contribution counts on the journey to a greener, brighter future. So let’s roll up our sleeves and get to work. The sun’s shining, and the possibilities are endless!🌞✨
