Experience: 5 GWp evaluated, 1 GWp+ delivered in solar PV

Totals across his career in utility-scale solar PV since 2015, in Hungary and Turkey. MWp is the DC capacity of the modules; grid (AC) capacity is lower. His career and education are on the about page.

01

140 MWp at one location

The largest single plant he has delivered is a 140 MWp ground-mounted solar PV plant at one location in Hungary, built together with its high-voltage substation. As electrical project manager he identified and onboarded the stakeholders, managed the internal team and the external EPC contractors, led the technical negotiations with EPC companies and main equipment suppliers, and held quality, schedule and budget to international certification standards.

The plant was finished two months ahead of the target date, which brought its revenue forward, at competitive EPC and O&M contract prices.

Areas of work

  • 01

    Electrical design

    LV and MV power system design for utility-scale plants, from DC strings to the grid connection.

  • 02

    Energy yield

    Yield simulation and performance evaluation in PVsyst, with terrain models in Helios 3D.

  • 03

    LCOE optimization

    Layout, DC/AC ratio and equipment choices weighed against lifetime cost per MWh.

  • 04

    EPC management

    Contractor and supplier onboarding, technical negotiations, schedule and quality control.

  • 05

    O&M and asset management

    Availability, monitoring, curtailment analysis and the line between O&M and asset owner.

  • 06

    New technology
