Solar Tracker Technology Evaluation
Tasked with evaluating the full landscape of solar tracker technologies, I conducted an in-depth comparison of legacy and emerging systems. This included an on-site visit to a testing facility in Aurora, Colorado, where I reviewed tracker evolution from the 1970s to present day and engaged with subject matter experts to understand performance innovations and technological advancements.

Development of a Decision-Making Tool
Building on the technical insights gathered, I created an intuitive, non-technical flowchart to guide project teams in selecting the most appropriate tracker. The tool incorporated financial metrics, energy yield potential, terrain adaptability, and system compatibility—making it simple for cross-functional teams to make informed decisions without deep technical expertise.

Engineering Efficiency and Cross-Team Enablement
The tool was widely praised for streamlining what was traditionally a complex and time-intensive engineering process. It has since become a go-to resource for early-stage project scoping, saving significant time and ensuring consistent, data-driven tracker selection across the organization.
