Is a "Jr Solar Installer" role a good route towards working as an engineer in the solar industry?

I graduated in May with my Bachelor's degree in chemical and biological engineering and I want to work in the solar industry in some way. I'd like to either find a position designing solar panel arrays for installation or perhaps doing research on developing solar technology.

I haven't been able to get on with a solar company in a drafting or engineering role yet, so I have been talking with companies about working for them as a solar installer. I have a few upcoming interviews.

Is this a good method towards becoming a solar engineer? If so, how long realistically should I expect to work as an installer before moving into an engineering role?

Aurora Inverter giving E050 error randomly

Aurora Inverter giving E050 error randomly The message requires a reset to get the inverter working again, but it's random - may happen a couple times a day, may skip a day or two. I have checked every connection, and even inside the inverter where the DC gets connected (2 arrays running). I tried turning off each array independently, but it continued for both lines at the same frequency. The only possible point of spark generation would be the connector box on the roof, which has wirenuts from the arrays themselves to the cable to the inverter. They are tight, but I went ahead and wrapped them with silicon tape (didn't help). Could the inverter itself have a problem? It is an Aurora PVI-3.0-OUTD-US and I can't find anything else in their manual. submitted by /u/Oliver_Dibble [visit reddit] [comments] https://ift.tt/2IrhYav

GAEA Research demonstrates their new energy technology called RSET. It sets the benchmark in high density, clean energy generation. Chief Scientist, Nigel C. Cheese, states the device collects Background Stellar Radiation via a RPP (Radiant Power Panel) offering compatibility to traditional devices.
