Solar Energy Systems Engineers

01

Create plans for solar energy system development, monitoring, and evaluation activities.

02

Conduct engineering site audits to collect structural, electrical, and related site information for use in the design of residential or commercial solar power systems.

03

Design or coordinate design of photovoltaic (PV) or solar thermal systems, including system components, for residential and commercial buildings.

04

Create electrical single-line diagrams, panel schedules, or connection diagrams for solar electric systems, using computer-aided design (CAD) software.

05

Review specifications and recommend engineering or manufacturing changes to achieve solar design objectives.

06

Develop design specifications and functional requirements for residential, commercial, or industrial solar energy systems or components.

07

Provide technical direction or support to installation teams during installation, start-up, testing, system commissioning, or performance monitoring.

08

Perform computer simulation of solar photovoltaic (PV) generation system performance or energy production to optimize efficiency.

09

Develop standard operation procedures and quality or safety standards for solar installation work.

10

Create checklists for review or inspection of completed solar installation projects.
