Portfolio
A life-changing experience
Arrays for the Tohono O'odham Reservation
Suveer Panditrao installed 2 free-standing fixed tilt solar arrays and a corresponding instruction manual for off-grid households in Pisinemo, AZ. The arrays were reinforced to withstand powerful dust devils and raised high enough to prevent livestock electrocution while taking shade under the structures.
Suveer's First Set of Projects
Solar Parking Lot Canopies for the MBTA
Provided preliminary array design and grid interconnection support for a portfolio of solar carports across surface and garage parking lots at 37 Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority train stations, cumulatively over 40 MW.
Suveer's Favorite Project
Pennsville Landfill
Suveer supported the acquisition of this project, with its 2 identical yet distinct interconnection points. After several years of scheduled grid upgrades and handoffs between engineers, she inherited the project at mobilization with a compressed timeline aimed to keep project completion within projected budget.
What Suveer Brings to the Table
A passionate, engineering-centric driver who can take trust, time and monetary investment and transform them into photovoltaic solar development and long-term revenue streams for investors while contributing positively to an electricity-hungry market and a society fighting global warming and mass extinction.
Suveer's Career Goals
Glare Analysis Refinement
Owing to the limited availability of commercially available FAA-compliant glare analysis tools, the results of glare simulations of solar arrays with backtracking are less than accurate and need revised computation methods.
Bulk Energy Storage Systems
Designing future Distributed Generation projects with AC coupled batteries will allow the hybrid asset to participate in energy markets, offer grid support and offer peak load shaving options.
NABCEP ESIP Certification
Being a board-certified NABCEP PV Installation Professional, the next milestone is to achieve equivalent competency installing complementary energy storage systems, both as hybrid with PV and as stand-alone systems.
Bifacial Gain Analysis
Photovoltaic simulation analysts and designers are in need of a standardized, universally accepted and dynamically evolving method of calculating bifacial gains achieved by elevated roof-mounted ballasted installation racking.
Floating Photovoltaic Solar Projects
With civic and commercial acceptance and support, floatovoltaics could prove to be versatile in their application locations and design configurations.
Professional Engineering License
The license to stamp an electrical drawing in US states is invaluable for indicating high levels of engineering competence and sponsoring engineers-in-training toward professional licensure.
