Photovoltaic manufacturer providing solar electric power systems solutions.
Electrical Engineer Intern
11/2010 to 11/2011
Custom designed and sized solar PV systems for residential and commercial customers using AutoCAD to generate detailed computer drawings. Participated in research and marketing projects to promote renewable energy and drive business growth.
Key Contributions:
•
Worked under senior electrical engineers to design PV systems that converted sunlight into electricity.
•
Equipped selected PV systems with uninterruptible power supply (UPS) capability, allowing customers to operate selected circuits for hours (or even days) during a utility power outage.
•
Assisted in distributed system voltage performance analysis for high-level penetration photovoltaics, contributing to research study that will be used to optimize future PV systems.
•
Conducted efficiency and price/watt comparisons on other solar power systems on the market to gather intelligence used for marketing campaigns.
•
Wrote content for company blog to educate the public on the advantages of solar electric power.
“…Janet was an excellent addition to our electrical engineering team…She worked on her first PV system design in the first week of her internship. She shows an excellent command of digital integrated circuitry and photovoltaics…” — Tom Carter, Senior Electrical Engineer, ABC Company
