NigeriaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Renewable Energy Engineer specializing in solar power system design, installation, and energy management, delivering practical net-zero and off-grid solutions. I’ve supervised design and installation of solar systems for Net-Zero Energy Building projects, and I conduct energy audits to produce actionable efficiency recommendations.
With over a decade of progressive experience, I’ve led installation and maintenance of renewable energy systems, including solar street lighting. I’ve trained and supervised technical teams on solar PV installation and electrical systems integration, ensuring reliable electrical and energy performance across projects.
Earlier, as a Facility Manager, I managed and maintained solar power systems across multiple commercial and public sites, overseeing off-grid solar power systems (5KVA–20KVA) and performing power and energy audits for optimal system sizing. I also contribute through publications and ongoing professional training, including Solar Photo-Voltaic Installation Supervision and Energy Auditing and Energy Management.
