Distributed Energy Resources Engineer Background
A distributed energy resources (DER) engineer is a mechanical engineer who works to transform the way that communities generate and receive power from their utility companies. They plan, investigate, and survey the energy sources necessary to integrate community-based forms of energy into a company’s existing utility grid. DERs envision a cleaner, brighter future for the world through the use of innovative technologies, from solar power to electric vehicles.
