Since it is usually not economical you need to get beyond regular economics.
1) You could work with lawmakers to get some special tax or regulatory support for your company.
2) You may find some government agency which is required to install solar energy regardless of the economics.
3) Or you may find a utility which is under a mandate to provide some fraction of its energy from solar and wind. Work with them to find the least expensive way for them to meet the mandate.

As of now solar energy is the best source of alternative energy but in reality it costs higher than the current ones. So if you can invent some latest technology to make solar panels which can produce more energy in low cost then it will be the best way for you to get into this industry.
All the best !!!!!!!!!!!!

NABCEP certification is a good start. Not that it gaurentees a job, or that you need it to get one, but all other things being equal, it gives you an advantage. The rounded knowledge that you need to pass the test lets people know that you have more than a passing interest in solar.
Mr. M
I suggest you look through some of the articles on the topic of solar energy here:
I would leave the technical development up to that industries engineers.
As a supplier and maybe an installer, you could promote the idea of avoiding black outs or brown outs while still staying on the grid, maybe even supplying power back to the grid

Start by building your own solar cell from recycled materials, but don’t give up your day job. Experiment in your spare time and also take all the solar education courses that are available in your area. Solar energy will definitely be the power of the future as fossil fuels are exhausted.
