Extensive knowledge of commercial and industrial solar PV systems, hybrid inverters, and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). Strong technical knowledge of solar system design, load assessments, PV sizing, battery sizing, and electrical calculations. Practical experience with inverter configuration, BMS, EMS, PCS, ATS/STS, and system integration. Strong understanding of AC/DC electrical systems, three-phase power distribution, switchgear, protection systems, and electrical safety standards. Ability to independently install, test, commission, troubleshoot, and maintain large-scale solar power systems. Ability to interpret electrical drawings, single-line diagrams (SLDs), and technical specifications. Proven ability to coordinate installation teams, supervise technicians, and deliver projects safely and efficiently. Important This is a hands-on engineering role, not a supervisory-only position.
