Job Summary

• The Design Engineer is responsible for designing and optimizing solar PV systems for commercial and industrial (C&I) clients.


• This role involves conducting site assessments, performing energy yield analysis, creating detailed electrical and structural designs, and ensuring compliance with industry standards and regulations.


• The engineer collaborates with project managers, contractors, and clients to deliver cost-effective, high-performance solar solutions.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform site evaluations and shade analysis using tools like PVsyst and Helioscope.


• Design PV system layouts, including electrical schematics, mounting structures, and interconnection plans.


• Conduct energy production modeling and financial feasibility studies.


• Ensure designs meet local codes, utility requirements, and client specifications.


• Prepare technical documentation, bills of materials (BOM), and permit drawings.


• Support procurement and construction teams with design clarifications.


• Stay updated on best practices and industry trends (battery storage, hybrid systems, smart inverters).

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor's Degree in Electrical /Electronic Engineering, or related field.


• 2 - 3 years proven experience in C&I solar PV system design.


• Proficiency in PV design software (e.g., PVsyst, Helioscope, Homer Pro, AutoCAD/ SketchUp Layout).


• Knowledge of NEC, IEC, and local regulatory standards.


• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and project coordination skills.

Key Competencies:

• In-depth knowledge of solar PV system components (modules, inverters, racking, BOS).


• Proficiency in electrical design (AC/DC coupled systems, single-line diagrams, voltage drop calculations).


• Experience in system optimization for cost, performance, and space efficiency (shading mitigation, tilt/azimuth adjustments, evaluation and design of roof-top and ground-mount solar installation).


• Intermediate skills in PV design tools (PVsyst, Helioscope, Homer pro, AutoCAD/ SketchUp Layout).


• Ability to work with cross-functional teams (project, sales, contractors, utilities).


• Effective communication to translate technical details for non-technical stakeholders.
