Key Equipment Categories (examples)

  • Solar modules (incl. safe-harbor strategies)

  • Inverters (central + string)

  • Transformers (GSU + auxiliary)

  • MV/HV switchgear and protection equipment

  • Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) — OEM supply frameworks

  • EMS / SCADA / PPC packages (where applicable)

  • Long-lead balance-of-plant equipment tied to grid interconnection

  • Ensure adherence to procurement governance while applying strong commercial judgment.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Partner with internal stakeholders to align technical requirements, commercial structures, and procurement timelines.

  • Drive standardization where appropriate to reduce complexity and improve cost and execution outcomes.

Supplier Relationship Management
