How do they match: Solar Photovoltaic Installers

Assemble, install, or maintain solar photovoltaic (PV) systems on roofs or other structures in compliance with site assessment and schematics. May include measuring, cutting, assembling, and bolting structural framing and solar modules. May perform minor electrical work such as current checks.

Activate photovoltaic (PV) systems to verify system functionality and conformity to performance expectations.
Determine photovoltaic (PV) system designs or configurations based on factors such as customer needs, expectations, and site conditions.
Determine connection interfaces for additional subpanels or for connecting photovoltaic (PV) systems with utility services or other power generation sources.
Diagram layouts and locations for photovoltaic (PV) arrays and equipment, including existing building or site features.
Examine designs to determine current requirements for all parts of the photovoltaic (PV) system electrical circuit.
Identify and resolve any deficiencies in photovoltaic (PV) system installation or materials.
Identify electrical, environmental, and safety hazards associated with photovoltaic (PV) installations.
Identify installation locations with proper orientation, area, solar access, or structural integrity for photovoltaic (PV) arrays.
Install photovoltaic (PV) systems in accordance with codes and standards, using drawings, schematics, and instructions.
Perform routine photovoltaic (PV) system maintenance on modules, arrays, batteries, power conditioning equipment, safety systems, structural systems, weather sealing, or balance of systems equipment.
Visually inspect and test photovoltaic (PV) modules or systems.
