Photon Brothers, Centennial, CO, United States
About Us
Photon Brothers is a solar energy company committed to the highest-quality solar installations and customer experiences. We install some of the most advanced energy-efficient solar panels and batteries in the world and are a proud partner of Tesla’s Powerwall Certified Installerprogram.
We currently have an opening for an Energy Storage System (ESS) & Photovoltaic (PV) System Designer. The ESS & PV Designer is responsible for designing residential and commercial photovoltaic and energy storage systems. This role is essential in designing efficient, reliable, and cost-effective systems that meet the needs of the customer while complying with local and national codes, regulations, and Utility requirements.
Hybrid working role: 3 days in the Centennial or Westminster office, and 2 days working from home each week.
Responsibilities
Evaluate the site where systems will be installed, including factors such as available sunlight, shading, and the specific electrical needs of the building
Assessing sites with existing PV systems and determining most ideal solution for incorporating battery backup
Based on the site assessment, create a detailed plan for the system, including the type and number of modules, the inverter and battery specifications, as well as the overall system layout
Ensure that project designs are completed on time, based on various deadlines such as rebates, incentives, and end of the year tax deadlines.
Create Design proposals that outline the energy system’s design, cost estimates, and expected energy savings
Ensure the ESS and/or PV system meets all relevant regulations and standards, such as building codes and safety requirements
Work closely with other stakeholders, such as project managers, engineers, installers, and electricians to ensure the energy system is installed and operational according to the project plan
Stay informed about the latest developments in the solar industry technology, regulations, and industry best practices to ensure the design is optimized for efficiency, safety, and cost-effectiveness
Ability to maintain and grow relationships with third parties, such as outside engineers, plans reviewers, manufacturers, and customers
Requirements
BA in engineering, design, or similar discipline; electrical background preferred or equivalent work experience
3+ years of experience in ESS design
Strong technical knowledge of PV/ESS systems, including design, components, and performance optimization
Proven experience designing Energy Storage Systems
Understanding of electrical engineering principles and the NEC as it relates to PV systems
Solid knowledge of solar energy regulations, incentives, and standards, such as IECC and LEED certification
Ability to create structural calculations, when needed, for ballast and ground mount systems
Knowledge of software tools for PV and ESS system design and simulation, such as AutoCAD, Opensolar, PVWatts
Excellent analytical and problem solving skills, with the ability to evaluate site conditions and design energy systems to meet the specific needs of customers
Attention to detail is a must to ensure compliance with all relevant regulations and standards
Excellent communication with the ability to collaborate effectively with a wide range of stakeholders, to include project managers, engineers, electricians, and installers
Top notch project management skills to manage project timelines, budgets, and resources effectively
Experience with Tesla Products (Tesla Inverter, Powerwalls) is preferred
