So keep in mind day to day operations look different depending on your company. But for the most part you start at your warehouse where if you have a good warehouse team will have the days job ready to load if not already loaded on your vehicle. From there you go to whatever jobsite is in your docket for that day. Now this can change as there are traveling solar crews sometimes you can get to a customer's home and the jobs already been drop shipped. If your working on a commercial job most of the time the materials will be at the jobsite. The standard for the industry is to complete residential jobs in one daydepending on system size. That being said the time you'll get done is never promised when doing residential work. Things do happen and jobs do fall behind for any number of reasons. I'll be honest it can be difficult to find work with no experience. And when you do get into a company they're gonna try to low ball you. The actual installation process isn't difficult to learn and there's websites like heatspring.com where you can get random little certifications for free and they look good on your resume. Be prepared for weather depending on where you live and drink as many fluids as you can. Lastly don't stay faithful to one company. You can make good money doing this and all you need to do is keep an eye on any opportunities.
