Introduction

Our Mission​

Our primary objective is to collect and analyze data for the development of cutting-edge models and algorithms that guide the future of solar energy solutions.

Current Projects​

  • DAQ: This is an in-situ IV curve tracer that continually monitors solar fields to pinpoint sources of energy loss. Our role encompasses both data collection and analysis.
  • EPWC: Energy Producing Window Coverings is an in-house innovation. Our responsibilities include the development of tracking algorithms, data collection, and performance monitoring.

Key Challenges for Newcomers​

You may initially find it challenging to grasp the specialized nuances related to solar technology, as well as the underlying physics involved in simulation and modeling. Adapt to the fast-paced nature of our work and be prepared to learn on the fly.

Skills​

The following are skills that are important to acquire over the long term to be successful in our team.

  • Front-end Development: NPM, Node.js, Vue.js
  • Back-end Development: Koa, MySQL, and Google Cloud Run
  • Data Analytics: Python, numpy, pandas, scikit-learn
  • Domain Knowledge: A fundamental understanding of photovoltaic systems.

Team Structure​

We maintain a close working relationship with the hardware team and report to Stefan Myrskog.

Contact Points for Queries​

  • Human Resources: Hugo Navarro
  • IT Support: Sergio Batista
  • Application Support: Nicolas Martinez

Operational Workflow​

Task Management and Code Reviews​

Tasks are allocated during our weekly stand-up meetings. For customer-facing projects, we employ GitHub pull requests that require at least one approval.

Meetings Schedule​

  • All-Hands Meetings: Held on Mondays
  • Team Stand-Up Meetings: Occur every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Wednesday we meet in person at the office

Resources and Communication​

Slack serves as our primary platform for internal communication.

Team Culture​

We convene in the office each Wednesday and maintain a Slack channel specifically for the sharing of articles and pertinent information. Open and spontaneous communication is highly encouraged.
