Maintenance Technician for Solar Monitoring System training provided (2-4 hours a week)

Job Description

UL Services Group, LLC will be installing a solar monitoring system (SMS) near HOUSE, NM, on behalf of one of our Clients.

The station (roughly 10×10 footprint) consists of a few solar panels, tripod, and measurement equipment surrounded by a chain link fence.

The station will be monitoring the solar resource as well as other meteorological and weather-related parameters.

The station requires weekly maintenance, on the same day each week at approximately the same time to ensure consistent and accurate data is being collected for a minimum of 1 year.

Your duties will include the following:

1) Ensure all equipment is level;

2) Ensure all equipment is clean;

3) Ensure there is no debris obstructing the system (depending on site/region, grass cutting, snow removal, or clearing brush); and

4) Confirm the system is secure and hasnt been tampered with.

Each maintenance visit should take 15-30 minutes.

UL requires a weekly excel logbook uploaded via internet along with photos and other documentation to support the visit which should take 30-45 minutes.

The entire process should take between 2-4 hours each week depending on your travel time to and from site.

During the initial measurement period, every other day may be necessary to provide initial baseline data for the reference equipment installed at the site.

This maintenance period will start the second month after installation and end at the start of the third month.

Occasionally, UL may request your assistance in replacing or troubleshooting equipment.

A Senior Engineer would contact you to walk you through the process.

They will support you while onsite and review data after the equipment repair.
