My name is Stefania, and I am a solar design engineer.
and I work in a solar company called Luminalt here in San Francisco.
And we install solar, thermal, and photovoltaic systems both for residential and commercial applications.
Luminalt is a woman-owned company.  It is focused on building
a sustainable community.
Energy is a major problem nowadays.  The main
sources
we are exploiting are damaging for our
health. I wanted to focus on renewable
energy
because they seemed to be a good solution.
I went to college in Italy. I took 
classes in
and mechanical engineering and electrical
engineering,
both in the field of energy.  So my role at Luminalt is
providing
customers with a designed
solar system.  So basically after your
site visit,
in which we have the possibility to talk
with the customer and understand his needs,
we analyzed their location, then
there is a permitting phase in which we
actually design the system to be built.
So, usually, we use
Google Sketch, for smaller residential
systems,
but when we go larger scale -- like
commercial systems,
I like to use AutoCAD,  so I can be
really precise
and see how many panels I can fit, and
what they will look like.  Because I
really believe that we live in a city
and we won
to see beauty around us like it really
affect our I will present a witty

functionality and index that text you
can see the country's

straight
at to the inverter the
this is more company it's a growing
company but
at this stage you have the possibility
to work weaknesses person who will
continue
so actually they're different schemes in
which
me you're developing in engineering part
you have to be detail oriented and be
very careful
how you say it is a wire now you select

yet hatch analytical skills but does he

newman's night means you have to deal
with the client and
really understudy meets understand what
he wants i jus engineering because I
thing keep key to the possible need to
really batch

we have a feeling that you can find
