Solar energy systems engineer education.

Solar energy engineers also known as alternative energy engineers photovoltaic pv design engineers or solar array engineers are experts in utilizing sunlight to generate electricity. An energy engineer works on projects designed to reduce energy use or costs. The engineer typically begins with a client consultation site assessment and financial assessment which help him or her understand the project s context. Engineers offering their services directly to the public must be licensed.

Continuing education to keep current with rapidly changing technology is an important aspect of their career. Solar engineers plan design and implement solar energy projects. This may include designing building evaluating or remodeling energy systems or energy procurement methods.
