Summary
Designs, models, and delivers solar photovoltaic (PV) energy systems across their full lifecycle — from site assessment and energy yield simulation through electrical single-line design, NEC Article 690 code compliance, interconnection, and commissioning. Distinct from sibling focuses in wind, geothermal, or grid/transmission engineering: this focus centers on PV-specific technology (panels, inverters, charge controllers, battery storage), solar energy yield optimization, and solar-specific tooling (PVsyst, HelioScope, Aurora Solar, PVcase).
