How much do solar scada engineer jobs pay per year?

As of Aug 18, 2026, the average yearly pay for solar scada engineer in the United States is $102,954.00, according to ZipRecruiter salary data. Most workers in this role earn between $60,000.00 and $141,500.00 per year, depending on experience, location, and employer.

What does a Solar SCADA engineer do?

A Solar SCADA Engineer is responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems for solar power plants. They ensure that the SCADA systems enable effective monitoring, control, and data analysis of the solar facility’s performance. Their work involves integrating hardware and software, troubleshooting system issues, and ensuring the plant operates reliably and efficiently. Solar SCADA Engineers also collaborate with other engineering teams to optimize energy production and maintain system security.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Solar SCADA engineer?

To thrive as a Solar SCADA Engineer, you need a solid background in electrical or control engineering, experience with SCADA systems, and knowledge of renewable energy technologies, typically supported by a relevant engineering degree. Familiarity with SCADA software (such as Wonderware, Siemens, or Schneider), PLC programming, and protocols like Modbus or DNP3 is crucial, and certifications in automation or SCADA systems are often advantageous. Strong analytical thinking, problem-solving skills, and effective communication help you address system issues and collaborate with cross-disciplinary teams. These competencies are essential to ensure reliable monitoring, control, and optimization of solar power plant operations.

How does a Solar SCADA engineer typically collaborate with operations and maintenance teams on-site?

A Solar SCADA Engineer frequently works hand-in-hand with operations and maintenance (O&M) teams to ensure real-time monitoring and swift troubleshooting of solar plant equipment. They are responsible for configuring alarms, diagnosing data anomalies, and providing remote support to field technicians. Regular communication is essential, as SCADA engineers often interpret system data and advise O&M teams on necessary interventions or preventive maintenance. This collaborative dynamic helps maximize system uptime and energy production, making teamwork and clear technical communication key aspects of the role.

What is the difference between Solar Scada Engineer vs Solar Power Plant Technician?

AspectSolar Scada EngineerSolar Power Plant Technician
CredentialsBachelor's in Electrical, Electronics, or related field; certifications in SCADA systemsHigh school diploma or technical training; certifications in solar installation and maintenance
Work EnvironmentDesign, monitor, and optimize SCADA systems in control centers or officesOn-site installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting at solar power plants
Industry UsageUsed across solar projects for system automation and data analysisHands-on work in solar plant operations and maintenance

The Solar Scada Engineer focuses on designing and managing SCADA systems to monitor and control solar power plants, requiring technical and software skills. In contrast, the Solar Power Plant Technician handles on-site installation, troubleshooting, and maintenance of solar equipment. Both roles are essential in the solar industry but differ in their focus and daily tasks.
