Where a solar energy engineer can go next

5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a solar energy engineer already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

Solar energy engineers design systems which generate electrical energy from sunlight, such as photovoltaic systems. They design and construct systems which optimise the energy output from solar power, and the sustainability of the production process of solar systems.

Note

How these figures were compiled

Coverage is the share of the target role’s weighted skill requirement a solar energy engineer already meets, counting required skills in full and supplementary ones at 0.35. It is directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. Every entry above opens the full comparison for that move: what carries over, what is missing, and where to start. The full method.
