  • Validate roof layouts, shading analysis, and system performance estimates
  • Ensure all designs meet MCS standards, G99/G100 compliance, and DNO requirements
  • Provide technical guidance to installers, project managers, and customers
  • Support installer vetting, training, and quality assurance processes
  • Troubleshoot technical issues and refine system designs based on installer feedback
  • Develop and improve internal design processes, templates, and tools
  • Stay up to date with solar and battery technologies, standards, and best practices

Requirements

  • Proven experience designing and specifying solar PV and battery systems
  • Strong understanding of electrical installation practices and BS 7671
  • Experience with MCS standards for solar PV and battery storage
  • Confidence interpreting surveys, photos, and roof plans
  • Ability to identify risks, compliance issues, and design optimisations
  • Excellent attention to detail and a methodical approach
  • Strong communication skills and confidence advising installers
