Summary
Electrical works technician who handles everything from mounting frame assembly for solar power systems to electrical wiring, grounding, and test operation.
Description
Solar power equipment installation workers (electrical works) secure solar panels to roofs or mounting frames at residential or commercial facilities, and perform electrical wiring, grounding work, and connections for equipment such as power conditioners. Based on site blueprints, they assemble mounting frames and construct safely and efficiently while adhering to wiring routes and grounding methods. Since high-place work and outdoor work are common, safety measures using scaffolds and safety harnesses are essential. After test operation, they conduct inspections to confirm power generation performance, and make adjustments or improvements if issues are found. Career paths include construction management engineers and designers.
