Solar Pv System Designer

**Renewable Energy Industry**

**Profile - Solar PV Design Engineer**

Qualification - B.E / B. Tech - Electrical, Renewable Energy, or a closely related field.

**Experience - Min 2-5 years of experience in solar PV system design, with a focus on grid-tied and/or hybrid systems.**

Salary - Upto 10 LPA

**Location - Bengaluru, Karnataka**

**Job Summary**:
The Solar Design Engineer will be responsible for the end-to-end technical design and optimization of grid-tied and hybrid solar PV systems, from concept to detailed engineering. This role requires a strong understanding of solar PV technology, electrical engineering principles, relevant codes and standards, and the ability to produce accurate and efficient designs for diverse project scales and site conditions across Karnataka.

**Key Responsibilities**:
**Solar System Design & Sizing**:

- Conduct comprehensive site assessments (remotely and physically, as needed) to evaluate solar resource, shading analysis, structural integrity, and electrical infrastructure for various project types (rooftop, ground-mount, carport).
- Perform accurate solar PV system sizing calculations based on energy requirements, available space, and site-specific conditions.
- Develop optimized array layouts and orientations to maximize energy generation and ensure efficient land/space utilization.

**Component Selection & Specification**:

- Select appropriate PV modules, inverters (string, central, micro-inverters), mounting structures, balance of system (BOS) components, and energy storage solutions (if applicable) based on project specifications, budget, and performance targets.
- Prepare detailed equipment specifications and bills of materials (BOMs).

**Electrical Design & Schematics**:

- Create detailed electrical single-line diagrams (SLDs), three-line diagrams, AC/DC wiring diagrams, and conduit and wiring schedules.
- Ensure all electrical designs comply with relevant Indian Electrical Codes (IE Rules), IS Standards, CEA (Measures Relating to Safety and Electric Supply) Regulations, and other applicable local and national regulations.
- Perform voltage drop, cable sizing, and other calculations.

**Structural & Mechanical Considerations**:

- Collaborate with structural engineers (or assist senior engineers) in the design of robust and safe mounting structures and foundations, considering wind loads, seismic activity, and site-specific soil conditions for ground-mount projects.

**Performance Modeling & Analysis**:

- Utilize industry-standard software (e.g., PVsyst, Helioscope, AutoCAD, SketchUp) to perform accurate energy yield simulations and performance predictions.
- Conduct shading analysis and optimize designs to mitigate energy losses.

**Documentation & Permitting**:

- Prepare comprehensive detailed project reports, technical documentation packages, including design reports, drawings, specifications, and data sheets, for internal use, client presentations, and regulatory approvals.
- Support the permitting process by preparing necessary technical drawings and responding to queries from authorities having jurisdiction (AHJs) and DISCOMs in Karnataka.

**Collaboration & Support**:

- Work closely with Project Managers, Sales Teams, Procurement, and Site Execution Teams to ensure design integrity, constructability, and seamless project execution.
- Provide technical support and troubleshooting assistance during installation and commissioning phases.

**Continuous Improvement**:

- Stay abreast of the latest advancements in solar PV technology, industry best practices, and regulatory changes in India and Karnataka.
- Identify opportunities for design optimization, cost reduction, and enhanced system performance.

REQUIRED:

- Proven experience with designing solar plants in Karnataka is highly preferred.
- Proficiency in solar design software such as PVsyst, Helioscope, AutoCAD, and SketchUp.
- Familiarity with battery energy storage systems (BESS) is a plus.
- Knowledge of various inverter technologies (string, central, micro-inverters) and mounting structures.
- Strong understanding of electrical codes (e.g., IE Rules, IS Standards), safety regulations, and relevant industry standards.
