Solar Designer

About the Role

We are seeking a skilled Solar Designer with strong SketchUp expertise

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

• 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
