Inside Utility-Scale Photovoltaics: An Engineers Journey

An engineer, Agustin Pedro loves bridging design and fieldwork. He enjoys starting at the desktop, creating detailed plans, and then heading to the field to audit projects, ensuring execution according to plan.

Once a month, Agustin spends a week visiting multiple PV projects within project developers’ portfolios. He inspects each site and addresses any deviations during construction.

“I find it rewarding to visit the sites and see what was designed with the team in the office come to life. Understanding how and why we design the projects this way allows me to identify any on-site deviations from the plan so they can be corrected. I also enjoy the human side of these visits, getting to know professionals who have been working in the field for years and enriching myself with the construction dynamics, logistics, timelines, and resources.”

Generation Solar: Engineers are key to making the energy transition a reality. Even the smallest details can significantly impact the reliability and energy yields of utility-scale photovoltaic systems. Overseeing projects across the entire value chain is crucial for a successful energy transition.

Our partners develop large photovoltaic portfolios, comprising many projects. Ensuring these projects operate flawlessly and generate high yields is essential for both economic and ecological reasons. Successful projects generate renewable energy and make economic sense, motivating developers to continue investing in new initiatives.

Our engineering team supports photovoltaic project developers from initial planning to grid connection and performance monitoring. Success factors in assessing a PV project include:

  • Review of the design and achieve final design on desktop
  • Audits on the construction site of the project based on our checklists
  • Construction supervision and progress reporting
  • After implementation: Remote monitoring of the performance
