Position Overview

The Solar Module Thrower plays a critical role in the efficient installation of photovoltaic (PV) modules on large‑scale solar construction sites. This position supports the mechanical and electrical installation teams by safely staging, distributing, and positioning solar modules along tracker or fixed‑tilt racking systems. The role requires strong situational awareness, physical stamina, and a commitment to maintaining high safety and quality standards.

Key Responsibilities

•               Module Handling & Distribution

•               Unpackage, stage, and transport PV modules from pallets to installation crews.

•               Efficiently place modules along the array according to installation sequencing and crew needs.

•               Maintain consistent workflow to support production targets.

•               Installation Support

•               Assist module installation teams by positioning modules for fastening.

•               Communicate effectively with installers, equipment operators, and supervisors to coordinate module flow.

•               Identify and report damaged modules or packaging issues.

•               Safety & Compliance

•               Follow all site safety protocols, including PPE requirements, equipment operation rules, and hazard reporting.

•               Maintain clean and organized work areas to reduce trip hazards and improve workflow.

•               Participate in daily safety briefings and toolbox talks.

•               Equipment & Material Management

•               Use approved material‑handling tools (carts, lifts, dollies) to move modules safely.

•               Support inventory tracking by reporting module counts, shortages, or discrepancies.

•               Protect modules from damage during handling, staging, and placement.

Qualifications

•               Experience in construction, solar installation, or general labor preferred.

•               Ability to lift and carry solar modules repeatedly (typically 40–55 lbs).

•               Comfortable working outdoors in varying weather conditions.

•               Strong teamwork, communication, and time‑management skills.

•               Ability to follow instructions and maintain focus in a fast‑paced environment.

•               Commitment to safety and quality.

Work Environment

•               Utility‑scale solar construction site with uneven terrain, heavy equipment, and active installation zones.

•               Long periods of standing, walking, bending, and lifting.

•               Exposure to sun, wind, dust, and temperature extremes.
