AI+ Renewable Energy Engineers

Design, Deploy and Optimise Clean Energy Systems with AI

Design, Deploy and Optimise Clean Energy Systems with AI

You run technically rigorous calculations in specialised software — then spend half your day writing the documents that surround them. AI can close that gap across every stage of the project lifecycle, from site screening to O&M reporting, without touching your verified numbers. This book gives you the SOLAR Framework, the GRID Protocol, and 50 ready-to-use prompt templates to work faster on everything that isn't the calculation itself. Built by an AI engineering firm for renewable energy engineers who know the technical work — and need AI to handle the documentation around it.

Inside
  • The **GRID Protocol** — four-component pre-use governance discipline covering data classification, numerical verification, IEC standards currency, and professional sign-off
  • The **SOLAR Framework** — five-stage AI-assisted project lifecycle map from site screening to operational reporting
  • 50+ prompt templates for the most common RE engineering documents: site screening summaries, EYA narrative sections, planning statements, construction documentation, and O&M performance reports
  • The **numbers discipline rule** — the most important principle in the book, applied to every chapter where figures matter
  • A **90-day adoption plan** with three professional personas — project developer, EYA consultant, off-grid engineer — calibrated to different roles and project types
  • Five **international case studies** from Ørsted, Neoen, CrossBoundary Energy, First Solar, and PUB Singapore
Who this is for

Practising renewable energy engineer — solar PV designer, wind energy analyst, energy storage engineer, or multi-technology project developer — at any career stage from graduate to principal. Works in project development, consulting, utilities, or independent power producer (IPP) organisations globally.

Also for:Engineering leaders and technical directors at renewable energy businesses; environmental professionals and sustainability managers with technical oversight of energy projects; energy consultants who cross between technology types.

You’ll be able to
  • Apply the GRID Protocol to classify project data and verify AI-generated numerical outputs before professional use
  • Use the SOLAR Framework to structure AI assistance across all five stages of the renewable energy project lifecycle
  • Generate and critically review AI-assisted site assessment reports, energy yield summaries, and planning documentation
  • Design and implement a personal AI toolkit covering resource analysis, system design, grid studies, and O&M reporting
  • Build and execute a 90-day AI adoption plan calibrated to your current role and project pipeline
