A Solar Engineer is responsible for the design, development, and implementation of solar energy systems. This includes assessing project feasibility, conducting site analysis, selecting appropriate technologies, creating system layouts, and overseeing installation and maintenance.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design and develop photovoltaic (PV) systems for residential, commercial, or industrial projects.
- Conduct site assessments including shading analysis, energy production estimates, and structural evaluations.
- Use software tools like PVsyst, AutoCAD, or SketchUp for system simulation and layout.
- Evaluate solar system components (e.g., panels, inverters, batteries) for efficiency, cost, and suitability.
- Prepare technical documentation including wiring diagrams, project proposals, and bill of materials.
- Ensure compliance with local national codes, safety standards, and environmental regulations.
- Collaborate with sales teams, architects, contractors, and clients to integrate solar systems into building designs.
- Oversee installation processes, ensuring technical accuracy and safety.
- Conduct performance analysis and system troubleshooting post-installation.
- Stay current with solar technologies, market trends, and regulatory changes.
