Solar PV & battery storage engineering

From first line to final seal.

PE-sealed photovoltaic and battery storage design for contractors across Florida. I design, calculate, check and seal every set myself, so your crew can build it safely and a reviewer can follow it without calling me. No middleman and no offshore drafting desk.

The engineer

I started on the roof. It shows in the drawings.

I'm Eduardo Rodriguez, a Florida Professional Engineer, Electrical Contractor and NABCEP PV Design Specialist. Before I ever drew a plan set, I was the one carrying modules up a ladder. I moved into CAD design, and today I engineer residential and commercial PV and battery systems across Florida.

Over the past decade I've delivered more than 4,000 permitted projects, from custom off-grid systems to public facilities including the University of Miami and Pinecrest Town Hall. Because I've installed what I now draw, my sets are built to be read on a roof, not just filed at a counter.

Case study · Essential facility

Orlando Fire Station 6

A 142 kW rooftop array on an active fire station. An essential facility has to stay standing and operating through the design storm, so the whole set is designed to Risk Category IV: 140 mph winds over a TPO roof, four SolarEdge inverters and fire-rated penetrations detailed through the apparatus bay.

Fire Sta. 6 · PV sizingE.R. 8/23/21

DC = 347 × 410 W = 142,270 W

= 142.27 kW

AC = 2(43.2) + 17.3 + 9.0 = 112.7 kW

DC/AC = 142.27 ÷ 112.7 = 1.26 ✓

Wind: 140 mph · Exp. C · Cat. IV

A municipal reviewer should never have to phone the engineer to understand a drawing. If the detail is on the sheet, the review moves. Eduardo Rodriguez, P.E.

Microinverter riser

Seven circuits of Hoymiles microinverters into a 200 A combiner, surge protection and a line-side tap at the existing service.

Two commercial buildings

Design model of a 96-module array split across two commercial buildings with different roof types.

Coverage

Ten years of pins on the same map.

Every marker is a permitted installation, from Jacksonville to Key West. The density in Miami-Dade and Broward is why local reviewers rarely surprise me.

How it works

Four steps, no chasing.

No portals and no ticket systems. Email and phone, and you always know where the job is.

Share the basics

Address, scope, equipment list and survey photos. Panel photos help too: the service and main breaker drive half the electrical design.
Quote and timeline

A fixed proposal with a clear schedule. The price covers the drawings, the seal and the comment responses.
fixed price
Review and refine

The draft lands, typically within 24 to 48 hours. You get a draft to mark up, not a final to argue with.
Seal and submit

PE-sealed, permit-ready PDF, sheet-numbered and ready to upload. Wet stamp if your AHJ needs one.
revisions until approval

Contact

Send me the address and the equipment list.

That is usually enough for a fixed price and a clear delivery date. If a date is going to move, you hear it from me early, not on the day it was due.
