What You’ll Do
You’ll lead solar resource and energy yield assessments and own performance analytics for operating solar and BESS projects.
Energy Yield Assessment
- Perform pre-construction and operational solar resource and energy yield assessments for utility-scale and distributed PV projects
- Compile and validate meteorological, satellite-derived, and operational datasets, develop TMY datasets, and run MCP analyses and long-term resource adjustments
- Estimate plant losses, run uncertainty analyses, and develop bankable energy yield estimates in PVsyst and other industry-standard tools
- Evaluate project risks, constraints, and performance drivers, including regression-based operational analyses
- Lead client engagements end to end, presenting methodologies, assumptions, results, and uncertainties to clients and investors
- Perform technical review and QC of analyses and reports
- Own and improve parts of our assessment methodology, including calibrating assumptions with operational fleet data
Asset Performance Analytics
- Monitor BESS performance (PR, availability, RTE, inverter availability, degradation) against modeled projections, and work with O&M and LTSA providers to resolve underperformance
- Build lifecycle cost and profitability models for storage assets and identify cost-savings opportunities
- Analyze market data to confirm arbitrage and ancillary services revenue is meeting contractual and financial expectations, and oversee dispatch optimization strategies
- Plan around maintenance and operational events to minimize market penalties and opportunity cost
- Own the analytics behind the fleet’s revenue insurance product, including calculation-period analysis, claim verification, and data validation
- Develop KPIs and produce monthly and quarterly operating reports, review O&M and LTSA provider reports, and update annual tracking models
- Answer ad hoc requests from investors, lenders, regulators, and internal stakeholders, and support budgeting and cost forecasting
- Champion process development and refinement
Who You Are
- 5+ years in solar resource assessment, energy yield assessment, performance engineering, technical advisory, or a related field
- Bachelor’s in Engineering, Atmospheric Science, Physics, Meteorology, Applied Math, Renewable Energy, or a related discipline
- Hands-on PVsyst experience and familiarity with resource datasets like Solargis, SolarAnywhere, Meteonorm, NSRDB, MERRA-2, or ERA5
- Experience with MCP, long-term resource assessment, and statistical evaluation of met data
- Strong grasp of plant losses, uncertainty, degradation, and operational performance drivers
- Experience with performance diagnostics and benchmarking for operating solar and BESS projects
- Familiarity with PPAs, O&M agreements, and LTSAs
- Strong technical writing and presentation skills
- Able to manage multiple projects alongside recurring reporting deadlines
- Willing to provide occasional off-hours support for operating projects
Preferred Qualifications
- Project finance, lender’s technical advisory, IE, M&A, or due diligence experience
- Knowledge of ERCOT market operations and BESS revenue drivers
- Experience with revenue hedges, revenue insurance, or other risk-transfer products
- Python, R, MATLAB, VBA, SQL, or similar for analysis and automation
- GIS or engineering software (ArcGIS, QGIS, AutoCAD)
- Experience building analytical tools, methodologies, or QA processes
- Master’s in a relevant technical discipline
