Utility-Scale PV, hybrid solar systems, and microgrid solar + bessprojects require more than layouts and simulations. They require correct architecture, realistic assumptions, and systems that work in the field, not just on paper. I am a licensed Electrical Engineer with over 10 years of experience designing solar and battery energy systems across residential, C&I, and large-scale projects. My focus is on technically robust and financially optimized systems, especially where PV, BESS, generators, and grid interaction must operate as one integrated solution. Core Expertise: • Utility-Scale PV Design Plant layout optimization, DC/AC sizing, inverter configuration, cable sizing, and loss minimization. • Solar + BESS Engineering Battery sizing based on load profile and operational strategy (peak shaving, backup, arbitrage), including system configuration and protection philosophy. • Hybrid & Microgrid Systems Integration of PV, BESS, gensets, and grid connection with clear operational logic and reliability-focused design. • Performance & Yield Analysis Advanced PVsyst simulations, shading studies, loss breakdown, and realistic energy yield forecasting. • Electrical Design & SLDs Implementation-ready single-line diagrams, protection schemes, and detailed electrical layouts. • Technical Review & Risk Assessment Independent design review and performance validation before construction or investment decisions. I work with industry-standard tools such as PVsyst, PVCase, Aurora Solar, OpenSolar, AutoCAD, and SketchUp but software is only part of the process. Sound engineering judgment and real-world constraints define the final design. If you are developing a utility-scale project or planning a hybrid/microgrid system, I can support you from concept design to detailed engineering with a focus on performance, compliance, and long-term reliability. Design it correctly. Optimize it properly. Build it with confidence. Kaan Yıldız
