Angel McFarland

Worked as the lead certified electrician for solar back up energy systems. The primary components were "Sunvault" and "Enphase" batteries, as well as 3rd party"Tesla Power Walls".

I was responsible for maintaining cost effective labor as well as kept crews accountable for following strict safety guidelines. I trained newer crew members by showing them step by step installation processes that punch listed pre-inspection requirements. Kept the company's guidelines for quality customer service as the standard to guarantee that purchased products would be sustained and all installations had complied with warranty qualifications. I made sure that all devices to be installed were cared for efficiently and that the customer's property were treated delicately.
