My responsibilities include conducting precise site assessments and performing Solar PV yield calculations using PVsol and PVsyst to ensure optimal energy output tailored to each client’s site. I develop detailed CAD designs covering key elements such as site layouts, AC/DC/COMMS single-line diagrams, G100 schemes, DC string layouts, trenching, and earthing. I have extensive knowledge of various PV panels, inverters, mounting systems, switchgear, and step-up transformers, ensuring the most effective system design. I also perform DC and AC cable calculations using Trimble ProDesign and Castline Cable Calc to guarantee efficiency and compliance. I have managed and secured approvals for G98/G99/G100 grid connection applications by efficiently liaising with SPEN and SSEN. I regularly collaborate with on-site teams, stakeholders and consultants to ensure all designs meet current and future regulatory requirements. My major clients include Yorkshire Water, McCain’s Foods, and SSE. Show less
