As an Energy Engineer at RenewCo Solutions, I played a significant role in a project involving the design and implementation of a solar farm for a local community. My primary responsibility was managing the site layout planning and optimizing the placement of photovoltaic panels to maximize sun exposure.
Drawing on my expertise in AutoCAD, I devised a layout that ensured the highest possible yield per square foot. I also utilized advanced PVsyst software to simulate solar radiation levels and energy output.
From my planning and optimizations, we could attain a 30% increase in energy production compared to initial projections. This project not only allowed me to refine my technical skills but also made me realize the importance of meticulous planning and optimizing renewable energy resources.
