On-site solar professionals are responsible for the physical deployment and upkeep of solar energy . Site Assessment & Preparation Surveying: Measuring roof dimensions, checking for shading (using tools like a SunEye), and evaluating the structural integrity of the mounting surface. Safety Setup: Installing fall protection, ladders, and scaffolding to ensure a safe workspace. Inventory: Verifying that all panels, inverters, racking, and wiring are present and undamaged upon . Physical Installation (Mechanical & Electrical)Racking & Mounting: Attaching the skeleton structure to the roof or ground, ensuring it is waterproof and aligned for maximum sun exposure.

Electrical Wiring: Running DC wiring between panels, installing inverters/micro-inverters, and connecting the system to the main electrical panel (often under the supervision of a licensed electrician).3. Testing & Commissioning Verification: Using multimeters to test voltage and polarity before flipping the switch. Activation: Working with the utility company to turn the system on and ensuring the monitoring software is reporting data . Operations & Maintenance (O&M)Troubleshooting: Diagnosing why a system is underperforming using thermal cameras or electrical testing. Cleaning & Repair: Removing debris/snow from panels and replacing faulty components like optimizers or fuses.🛠Required Skills & Physical Demands Working on-site is physically demanding and requires a high level of technical awareness. Category Requirements Physical Ability to lift 50+ lbs, climb ladders, and work on steep roofs in extreme heat or cold. Technical Proficiency with power tools (impact drivers, saws), multimeters, and basic electrical theory.
