Description
| Strategic |
| * Optimal Configuration Selection: Recommending system designs that balance site constraints (shadow, tilt, orientation) with maximum energy generation. * Technological Integration: Leveraging industry-standard software (PVsyst, AutoCAD) to provide accurate long-term energy generation forecasts. * Regulatory Alignment: Ensuring all designs strictly adhere to DISCOM requirements and local standards to mitigate legal and operational risks. * Feasibility Insight: Providing the high-level technical assessment that determines whether a project is viable for the company to pursue. |
| Financial |
| * BOQ Preparation: Developing the Bill of Quantities to provide accurate cost estimations and prevent budget overruns during procurement. * System Sizing & Performance Analysis: Maximizing the "yield-to-cost" ratio by selecting the right inverter, string, and cable sizes to minimize energy loss. * Asset Protection: Designing earthing and lightning protection systems to safeguard the financial investment from environmental damage. * Efficiency Simulation: Using performance analysis to justify project ROI to stakeholders or clients. |
| Process |
| * Standardized Documentation: Preparing SLDs, wiring diagrams, and cable schedules to ensure a smooth transition from design to construction. * Technical Validation: Conducting short-circuit, load flow, and voltage drop analyses to verify the safety and stability of the engineering process. * Site Surveys: Managing the standardized procedure for site assessment and feasibility studies. * Cross-Functional Coordination: Acting as the technical bridge between procurement and execution teams to resolve on-site issues and support commissioning. |
| People |
| * Enable capability development of self by overseeing implementation of appropriate systems and policies * Actively participate in HR initiatives to drive overall employee engagement and motivation * Training & Development - 24 Hours/Year |

| F. RoleRequirements / Specifications | |
| Desired Qualifications | * Primary Degree: A Bachelor's degree (B.E./B.Tech) in Electrical Engineering or Electrical & Electronics Engineering (EEE) is standard, as the core of the role involves AC/DC design and power systems. * Secondary Option: A degree in Renewable Energy Engineering or Civil/Mechanical Engineering (provided there is a strong focus on structural design or solar technology). * Post-Graduation (Optional): An M.Tech in Renewable Energy or Power Systems can be a significant advantage for utility-scale roles. |
| Desired Experience | * 3 to 6 years of core experience in Solar PV design. * Project Variety: Hands-on experience across different segments: * Rooftop: Commercial, Industrial (C&I), and Residential net-metering. * Utility-Scale/Ground-Mounted: Large-capacity plants (MW scale), involving complex terrain and transmission line design. * Segment Exposure: Knowledge of EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) workflows is highly valued, as it shows the candidate understands how designs translate into real-world builds. * Proven track record of generating bankable energy yield reports using PVsyst and Helioscope. |
| Knowledge & Skills | * Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Principles: Deep understanding of how sunlight converts to electricity, including the impact of irradiance, temperature coefficients, and degradation. * Electrical Engineering Fundamentals: Mastery of Ohm's Law, power factor, AC/DC circuit theory, and the mechanics of transformers and switchgears. * System Components: In-depth knowledge of the latest technology in Bifacial vs. Monofacial modules, String vs. Central inverters, and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). * Regulatory & Safety Standards: Knowledge of national and international codes (e.g., IEC, NEC, IS) and local DISCOM regulations for net-metering and grid-interconnection. * Geographical & Structural Constraints: Understanding of tilt, azimuth, shadow analysis, and wind-loading requirements for mounting structures. |
