About the Role We are seeking a skilled Solar Designer with strong SketchUp expertise to join our design team. The ideal candidate will have prior experience in creating 2D and 3D solar rooftop designs, with the ability to model solar panels, mounting structures, and rooftop obstacles accurately. This role requires both technical knowledge and a design-oriented mindset to ensure efficient, practical, and aesthetically aligned solar solutions. Key Responsibilities Develop accurate 2D and 3D rooftop solar designs in SketchUp. Create sketchup models (solar panels, mounting structures, rooftop elements, obstacles, etc.) with precise dimensions. Use the mounting structure library to design panel layouts that meet technical and structural requirements. Identify and incorporate rooftop obstacles (water tanks, HVAC systems, vents, etc.) into the design. Make design decisions such as: Leaving appropriate gaps for cleaning and maintenance access . Adding overhangs where necessary to maximize generation while ensuring safety and feasibility. Create multiple views, scenes in SketchUp to effectively communicate design intent. Optimize panel placement for maximum utilization of rooftop space while maintaining shading and clearance guidelines. Requirements Proven experience in SketchUp solar design (rooftop PV projects preferred). Strong understanding of rooftop solar project requirements, shading considerations, and structural layouts. Ability to interpret technical inputs (site surveys, roof dimensions, structural drawings) into workable models. Familiarity with solar mounting structures and ability to apply them within designs. Attention to detail for accurate modeling and measurements. Good visualization skills to create professional design presentations. Ability to work independently and take initiative on minor design decisions . Strong communication skills to coordinate with internal teams. Preferred Qualifications Experience with Sketchup and Skalion Knowledge of solar engineering basics (tilt, azimuth, orientation, shading, generation estimates).
