HOW DO I BEST GO ABOUT BREAKING INTO THE SOLAR INDUSTRY

Sales Evolution. Very experienced/capable in sales, bus dev and finance. 15 yrs on Wall St. followed by 5 as CEO of cpg startup. I have a great deal of success and experience in sales, sales management and training, marketing, deal structure and negotiation, raising capital, etc. I am a Cornell graduate and have a cursory understanding of the industry. I have been interested in renewable energy for a long time and believe there is huge opportunity, particularly in pv solar and the financing of solar. I can sell anything, and learned the beverage business in just a few months (I founded and ran a natural soda company), but I have found some employers reluctant to even consider anyone without direct industry experience. I am a tireless entrepreneur and want to build wealth while benefitting the planet. Suggestions?
