2- Performance Bonus: Up to 15% of base, linked to projects commissioned and yield performance vs. guarantee
3- Location: Kolkata HQ with regular field travel — NE India and East India industrial corridors
4- Reporting To: COO (Founder until COO is hired)

ROLE:- Solar Engineer

THE ROLE

This is a front-to-back execution role. You will visit commercial and industrial sites, assess whether a solar

opportunity is real or not, size the system correctly, design the solution, manage the project through to

commissioning, and hand it over to O&M.; You are the person who bridges sales and delivery — your site

assessment determines whether SPV bids, and your execution quality determines whether the client renews and

refers.

Expect to be in office regularly across Kolkata, Northeast India, and East India industrial corridors. This is not a

desk job — roughly 50–60% of your time will be at client sites or project locations.

WHAT YOU WILL OWN

Phase 1 — Site Assessment & Feasibility

- Visit prospective C&I; client sites (factories, warehouses, commercial buildings, institutions) and conduct

structured technical assessments

- Evaluate roof condition, structural integrity, shading, orientation, and available area for rooftop installations;

assess ground conditions and available land for ground-mount systems

- Audit the client's electricity consumption — analyse 12 months of bills, understand load profiles, peak

demand, ToD patterns, sanctioned load, and contract demand

- Determine whether the stated requirement is technically viable and commercially real — flag oversized

expectations, structural constraints, or grid limitations that would make a project unviable

- Estimate system size accurately: AC/DC capacity, generation yield (P50/P90), specific generation

(kWh/kWp), and projected savings against current tariff

- Prepare a clear, one-page technical feasibility summary for internal go/no-go decision — numbers only, no

fluff





Phase 2 — Design & Proposal

- Produce detailed system design: module layout, string configuration, inverter sizing, cable sizing, single-line

diagram, and shadow analysis using PVsyst or equivalent

- Specify Bill of Materials — modules, inverters, mounting structures, cables, SCADA/monitoring, protection

equipment

- Prepare energy yield estimates and financial model inputs: generation, export/banking assumptions,

applicable open access charges, wheeling charges, cross-subsidy surcharge

- Support the commercial team in structuring PPA terms — tariff, tenure, escalation, performance guarantees

— with technically grounded inputs• Ensure all designs comply with CEIG/local electrical inspector norms, DISCOM grid connectivity

requirements, and relevant IS standards

Phase 3 — Project Execution

- Manage EPC execution end-to-end once PPA is signed: procurement, civil works, electrical installation,

testing and commissioning

- Coordinate with vendors, sub-contractors, and the client's facility team — keep the project on schedule and

within budget

- Handle all statutory approvals: DISCOM net metering / open access application, CEIG inspection, electrical

inspector sign-off, fire NOC where required

- Track project milestones, flag risks early, and report status clearly to the COO and Founder
- Commission the plant: string testing, insulation resistance, polarity checks, inverter commissioning, SCADA

integration, and generation verification against design yield

Phase 4 — Handover & O&M;

- Prepare as-built drawings, O&M; manuals, and warranty documentation for client handover
- Set up remote monitoring (SCADA/portal access)



and train the client's facility team on basic operations
- Conduct performance reviews in the first 3–6 months post-commissioning and flag underperformance

against PPA guarantee

- Ensure generation data feeds correctly into SPV Intelligence's monitoring platform

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

Non-Negotiable

- 3–7 years of experience in solar EPC, specifically C&I; rooftop or ground-mount projects — not just utility

scale construction management

- Proficiency in PVsyst (or equivalent: Helioscope, PVSol, Homer) for energy yield simulation and system

design

- Hands-on experience with DISCOM net metering applications and/or open access regulatory process in at

least one Indian state

- Ability to read and interpret electricity bills, load data, and demand profiles — this is core to the assessment

function

- Working knowledge of IS standards for solar PV systems (IS 16077, IS 13947), CEA regulations, and CEIG

inspection requirements

Strongly Preferred

- Experience in Northeast or East India — familiarity with DISCOM processes in West Bengal, Assam,

Mizoram, Odisha, or Andhra Pradesh

- Exposure to open access solar for industrial clients — understanding of wheeling charges, banking

charges, cross-subsidy surcharge, and SLDC scheduling

- Experience with hybrid systems (solar + BESS) and basic knowledge of battery integration at C&I; scale
- CBIP certification, BEE Energy Auditor, or equivalent electrical qualification

The Person

- Honest assessor — able to tell a client (and internally) that a site does not work, rather than forcing a bad

project through to hit a pipeline number

- Execution-oriented — tracks every open item, follows up without being asked, does not let approvals or

vendors sit idle

- Can communicate technical findings clearly to non-technical stakeholders: factory owners, CFOs, and

facility managers who just want to know the savings number

- Comfortable with field conditions — rooftop inspections, industrial plant environments, and project sites in

hilly Northeast terrain
