Key Responsibilities

· Develop and prepare solar PV system designs, including single-line diagrams, layouts, cable schedules, and equipment specifications.

· Perform system sizing and energy yield calculations using industry-standard software (e.g., PVSyst, Helioscope, AutoCAD, SketchUp).

· Ensure compliance with local electrical codes, utility interconnection requirements, and international standards (NEC, IEC, NFPA, etc.).

· Conduct shading analysis, site assessments, and load calculations to optimize system performance.

· Prepare and review bill of materials (BOM) and provide technical support for procurement.

· Coordinate with structural, electrical, and civil engineers for integration of PV systems into overall project design.

· Support permitting and interconnection applications by preparing required drawings and documents.

· Provide technical support during construction and commissioning, including field visits when necessary.

· Continuously research and adopt new solar technologies, materials, and best practices.

Qualifications

· Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Renewable Energy, or related field.

· Experience in solar PV design (commercial/industrial or utility-scale preferred).
