Damian Silva

I am an interconnection and incentives specialist focused on commercial and industrial solar, battery energy storage, and EV charging projects across the Western United States. I lead interconnection efforts from feasibility through PTO while coordinating utilities, internal teams, and clients.

At DSD Renewables, I streamlined more than 40 MW of project portfolios to PTO and secured over $400,000 in SGIP incentive claim rewards for customers and the development team. I maintain real-time project reporting using Salesforce, SiteTracker, NetSuite, and utility portals (PowerClerk).

Previously, I led interconnection coordination for a 200+ project pipeline, developed SOPs and dashboards for 40+ utilities, and managed high-volume document workflows and audits at Tesla. I emphasize clear cross-functional communication and proactive issue resolution.

I bring practical knowledge of FERC and WREGIS REC registrations for >1 MW projects, utility tariff processes, and a track record of building stakeholder relationships to accelerate project milestones and compliance.

Skilled in building stakeholder relationships, collaborating with teams, and developing processes for efficient project milestones. Passionate about cross-functional cooperation en route to transitioning the world to a more self-sustainable future.
