⟩ Please explain me what are the main job duties and responsibilities of solar photovoltaic installer employee?
Solar photovoltaic installer responsibilities are to install module array interconnect wiring, implementing measures to disable arrays during installation; install required labels on solar system components and hardware; install photovoltaic (pv) systems in accordance with codes and standards using drawings, schematics, and instructions; apply weather sealing to array, building, or support mechanisms;
assemble solar modules, panels, or support structures, as specified; visually inspect and test photovoltaic (pv) modules or systems; activate photovoltaic (pv) systems to verify system functionality and conformity to performance expectations; check electrical installation for proper wiring, polarity, grounding, or integrity of terminations;
identify methods for laying out, orienting, and mounting modules or arrays to ensure efficient installation, electrical configuration, or system maintenance; identify and resolve any deficiencies in photovoltaic (pv) system installation or materials; test operating voltages to ensure operation within acceptable limits for power conditioning equipment, such as inverters and controllers; identify installation locations with proper orientation, area, solar access, or structural integrity for photovoltaic (pv) arrays; demonstrate system functionality and performance, including start-up, shut-down, normal operation, and emergency or bypass operations; perform routine photovoltaic (pv) system maintenance on modules, arrays, batteries, power conditioning equipment, safety systems, structural systems, weather sealing, or balance of systems equipment; identify electrical, environmental, and safety hazards associated with photovoltaic (pv) installations; measure and analyze system performance and operating parameters to assess operating condition of systems or equipment; determine connection interfaces for additional subpanels or for connecting photovoltaic (pv) systems with utility services or other power generation sources; program, adjust, or configure inverters and controls for desired set points and operating modes; determine appropriate sizes, ratings, and locations for all system overcurrent devices, disconnect devices, grounding equipment, and surge suppression equipment; examine designs to determine current requirements for all parts of the photovoltaic (pv) system electrical circuit;
compile or maintain records of system operation, performance, and maintenance; install active solar systems, including solar collectors, concentrators, pumps, or fans; determine photovoltaic (pv) system designs or configurations based on factors such as customer needs, expectations, and site conditions; determine materials, equipment, and installation sequences necessary to maximize installation efficiency; diagram layouts and locations for photovoltaic (pv) arrays and equipment, including existing building or site features; select mechanical designs, installation equipment, or installation plans that conform to environmental, architectural, structural, site, and code requirements.
