Meet our engineers

Our Solar Engineers are professionals who design and develop solar power systems. They are responsible for creating efficient, reliable, and cost-effective solar energy solutions for homes, businesses, and industries.

• Our Solar Engineers work on every aspect of solar energy systems, from planning and design to installation and maintenance.  Typically, they start a project by following a structured approach to designing and developing a solar power system. Here are the general steps that our solar engineers take:

• Site Assessment: Evaluate the site where the solar system will be installed: location, orientation, and shading of the site to determine the optimal placement of the solar panels and any other components.

• Load Analysis: Determine the energy needs of the site. The engineer will analyze the energy consumption of the building or facility and identify the load requirements for the solar system.

• System Design: Based on the site assessment and load analysis, our engineer will design a solar power system that meets the energy needs of your site. This will involve selecting the appropriate solar panels, inverters, and other components.

• Financial Analysis: We perform a financial analysis of the system, including the upfront costs and the expected return on investment. This will help you to  understand the financial benefits of installing the solar system.

• Permitting and Interconnection: Our engineering team will obtain the necessary permits and approvals from local authorities and utility companies to install and connect the solar system to the electrical grid.

• Installation and Commissioning: Our engineers oversee the installation of the solar system and ensure that it is commissioned properly. This involves testing the system to ensure that it is operating as designed, and training the client on how to use and maintain the system.

Our Solar Installers have a combination of technical and practical knowledge to successfully install and maintain solar energy systems. 

Our Solar Installers must have key areas of knowledge to work with SunlightGroup.net.

• Systems: Our Solar installers have a strong understanding of electrical systems, including AC and DC circuits, electrical codes, and safety practices. They properly connect and wire your solar panels, inverters, and other electrical components.

• Roofing and Structural Engineering: Solar panels which are installed on rooftops, our installers have knowledge of roofing and structural engineering principles. They assess the structural integrity of the roof or building, install mounting systems, and ensure that the solar panels are properly anchored and secured.

• Solar Panel Technology: Our solar installers have a deep understanding of solar panel technology, including the types of solar panels, their efficiency ratings, and their performance characteristics. They must be able to select the right type of solar panel for each installation and understand how to optimize their performance.

• Safety Practices: Our solar installers follow strict safety practices when installing solar panels, working at heights, and handling electrical equipment. They are trained in proper safety protocols and procedures to prevent accidents and injuries.

•  Troubleshooting and Maintenance: our solar installers are able to diagnose and troubleshoot problems with solar energy systems. They follow maintenance protocols and practices and be able to perform regular inspections and maintenance tasks to ensure that the solar system is operating optimally.

• Communication and Customer Service: Our solar installers communicate effectively with clients and provide excellent customer service. They explain technical concepts in a clear and understandable way and work collaboratively with you to ensure that their solar energy system meets their needs.
