This 10MW solar field in Los Lunas, NM was built by Affordable Solar.  My job was to develop on site methods to commission the 1500VDC system and then train their crew to effectively, efficiently and safely commission the system using Fluke 1550 insulation test equipment and other electrical meters to test polarity and continuity.
PNM Facebook-1 commissioning and training
These two PV Systems were installed by Affordable Solar (NM) and Flux Energy Systems (CA).  My scope of work included DC wiring QA/QC, String testing, inverter programing, AC subsystem and wiring QA/QC.  Tests included IV curve tracing with the Seaward PV210.

Built at 10,200 ft, the 56.16k-watt photovoltaic generating plant with battery storage and generator backup is among the top 10 in the nation in size and scale. The new system is designed to reduce runtime and fuel costs in powering the Costilla Lodge at the ranch. The project was challenging due to the altitude, remote location and engineering difficulties involved in providing adequate solar power to a modern Lodge at a high altitude.

The Village of Corrales, located north of Albuquerque along the banks of the Rio Grand river, has installed solar PV on all of its municipal buildings.  Beginning in May of 2012, I became involved in phase II of these installations.  I designed systems for the Courthouse, Library, Fire Dept. Substation, Community Center, and Public Works buildings.  The systems were commissioned in January and a Village ribbon cutting was celebrated in February, 2013.

At the time this system was installed, it was the third phase of solar PV systems installed on the parking garage canopies of the Albuquerque Sunport.  I designed the electrical system, alongside Verttarre Corp. (www.vertterre.com).

This was the first commercially owned MW solar plant installed in New Mexico.  My role on this project was assisting the engineering group in it's electrical design and component selection.  I was in charge of the system monitoring, installation and configuration on SMA's Sunny Portal.
