Job Description:
1. Role Objective To ensure all solar power plant designs are technically accurate, execution-ready, and compliant with applicable standards. The Design Engineer acts as a design validator and quantity checker, responsible for reviewing vendor drawings, performing shading and yield analysis, verifying material quantities, and ensuring that every engineering decision supports long-term generation reliability and cost optimization. 2. Key Responsibilities A. Design Preparation & Validation ● Prepare and review complete solar PV system designs—including array layout, string configuration, cable sizing, inverter sizing, and protection schemes. ● Perform shading analysis and energy yield simulations using PVsyst, Helioscope, or equivalent tools. ● Validate all design checkpoints, including voltage drop, current carrying capacity, inverter loading, and fault-level calculation. ● Verify BoQ quantities and ensure design–procurement–execution alignment. ● Cross-check vendor and EPC drawings (SLD, GA, earthing, lightning, structural)
and issue approval/non-approval notes with technical justification. B. Quantity & Design Integrity ● Independently estimate quantities of major components: modules, inverters, cables, earthing pits, and structural supports. ● Identify design-level mismatches or overdesign that can impact project cost or execution feasibility. ● Maintain a Design Validation Register tracking deviations and design clarifications. C. Standards & Compliance ● Ensure every design complies with relevant standards such as IEC, IS, CEA, and MNRE. ● Validate the adequacy of earthing, lightning protection, and fire safety systems per IS 3043, IS 2309, and NBC. ● Check equipment ratings and protection settings against operational requirements. D. Coordination & Documentation ● Coordinate with internal teams, EPCs, and vendors for technical clarifications and drawing revisions. ● Maintain version-controlled Design Basis Reports (DBR) and Design Review Check
