The engineer

Eduardo Rodriguez, P.E.

Florida Professional Engineer, Electrical Contractor and NABCEP PV Design Specialist. I design, calculate, check and seal every set that leaves this office.

01 / Background

Installer, then draftsman, then engineer.

I started on the roof. Before I ever drew a plan set I was the one carrying modules up a ladder, running conduit and finding out the hard way which drawings were written by someone who had never installed anything.

From there I moved into CAD design, and eventually into engineering. Today I engineer residential and commercial PV and battery systems across Florida — but the installer’s habit never left. When I draw a detail, I am picturing the person who has to build it at two in the afternoon in July.

Over the past decade I have delivered more than 4,000 permitted projects, from custom off-grid systems to public facilities including the University of Miami and Pinecrest Town Hall.

Clean drawings, accurate calculations, fast turnaround. Your permit moves and your system performs exactly as designed.

02 / Credentials

Licensed to design it, and licensed to build it.

The contractor licence matters more than it looks. It means the person stamping your drawings has been responsible for work in the field, not only on paper.

03 / How I work

One engineer, start to finish.

No middleman

You have my cell number. Questions, feedback and concerns go straight to the engineer sealing the set — not to a coordinator who relays them.

Fast, and honest about it

Drafts typically inside 24–48 hours. If a job cannot make that window, you hear it when you ask, not on the day it was due.

Local reviewers, known quantities

Miami-Dade, Broward, Monroe, Palm Beach, and FPL and FKEC on the utility side. I know what each one asks for before they ask.

Drawings built to be read

Compact, legible layouts with clear installer instructions. A set that only an engineer can follow has failed at its job.

Revisions until approval

Reviewer comments are part of the job, not a change order. I answer them and revise until the permit clears.

Bilingual, properly

English and Spanish, on the phone and in the markup. Your crew and your customer can both ask me questions directly.

04 / Teaching

The craft is worth passing on.

I love this work, and I would rather the industry got better at it. That means training contractor design teams, publishing standards they can actually use, and answering the question behind the question when someone calls.

Every project is a chance to produce something clean and correct. That is not a slogan — it is the reason the turnaround is fast. Good habits are quicker than rework.

Rather just talk it through?

Call the number. It rings the engineer, not a queue.
