As an energy engineer, you are responsible for evaluating a completed task from a tax attorney for feasibility and real-world applicability and submitting any comments you have for the tax expert to review and apply. Part of this will be a technical evaluation, and part of it will also be a sanity check to make sure the proposal is something you would see in the real world within the selected geography.
Our expected average handling time (AHT) for evaluating each completed task is 1 hour. This means that you should expect to spend around an hour reviewing each proposal on its technical merits and giving concrete alteration suggestions to the tax expert if you think there are required changes.
More specifically, you will be responsible for validating technical sizing and feasibility, checking generation/production estimates, surfacing structural/electrical constraints, assessing technology interactions (PV + storage + heat pump + EVSE), and pressure-testing efficiency assumptions.
Your broader job is to:
Check that each Arden scenario is technically feasible and internally consistent.
Review the technical and location-related parts of the rubrics to ensure they reflect realistic engineering assumptions.
Flag issues and suggest corrections. The tax expert will incorporate your feedback.
You will likely:
translate property specs to system design envelopes (roof, loads, interconnection, structural code);
produce/validate energy output and demand impact (annual kWh, load profiles, round-trip efficiency, HP COP/SCOP);
check interdependencies (PV --> storage charging windows, HP load shifts, EVSE demand spikes); and
flag constructibility and permitting constraints, providing alternative configurations when blocked.
escalate edge cases; e.g. unusual structural loading; atypical interconnection (limited backfeed, protection schemes); mixed-use services; thermally extreme climates where standard COP assumptions break.
You can refer to the task expert's example outputs (prompt + rubrics) as you follow these instructions.
Please find an example of a very comprehensive technical feasibility review similar to what you would submit here. Generally, if the project makes sense and the numbers make sense for something you would see in the real world, you will not need to provide very much commentary. But certainly do the math to make sure, and give concrete feedback to the tax expert through this form.
Compensation
We expect that this whole review process will take around 1 hour per task from zero to full feedback submission, which is our fixed Average Handling Time (AHT) cap. That means if your hourly rate is $30/hr, you will be paid $30 for a completed review, no matter how long it actually takes. Please try to keep your review time to an hour max!
Here is our desired range of task inputs and what you will be expected to evaluate:
Energy Project Distribution Across 15 States
Type 1 — Residential solar installations (40):
Type 1.a: 20 with battery storage
Type 1.b: 20 without battery storage
Type 2 — Commercial retrofits (30): mix of small-business and mid-sized facilities
Type 3 — Multifamily projects (20): affordable housing + market-rate coverage
Type 4 — Edge cases (10): historic properties, HOA restrictions, complex ownership structures
You will be responsible for reviewing half of these projects. We will let you know which tasks to review.
