Verify sizing and selection of PV modules, inverters, DC combiner boxes, transformers, RMUs, HT/LT panels, and associated electrical equipment.
Review DC and AC cable sizing calculations, voltage drop, ampacity, derating factors, and cable routing layouts.
Validate earthing and lightning protection system designs in accordance with applicable standards.
Review short-circuit calculations, load-flow studies, protection coordination, and electrical system studies.
Review transformer sizing, inverter integration, auxiliary power systems, and electrical evacuation infrastructure.
Verify electrical equipment datasheets, technical specifications, BOQs, and design calculations.
Review solar PV system layouts, module string configurations, and DC/AC capacity design parameters relevant to electrical engineering.
Ensure compliance with applicable CEA regulations, IEC/IS standards, grid codes, and project-specific electrical requirements.
Prepare electrical design review reports, technical comments, approval recommendations, and non-conformance reports (NCRs).
Coordinate with EPC contractors, electrical designers, clients, and project teams to resolve technical observations and ensure timely closure.
Support electrical design reviews for technical due diligence, owner's engineering, lender's engineering, and M&A assignments.
Provide technical support for site queries, design modifications, commissioning-related clarifications, and as-built drawing verification.
Monitor the technical quality and timely delivery of electrical design reviews performed by external consultants and freelancers.
Implement standard electrical design review checklists, quality procedures, and engineering best practices.
Support client satisfaction, service excellence, repeat business, and business development for solar electrical engineering consultancy.
