Cedie Mar Magno

Solar PV Engineer (Junior Supervisor)

About

Ranked Top 3 in the August 2024 Registered Electrical Engineering Licensure Exam and graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of the Philippines Los Baños with a degree in BS Electrical Engineering, major in Power Engineering. I was also honored with a nomination to the Phi Kappa Phi Honor Society, recognizing both academic excellence and leadership potential in the field. My professional journey began through the Cadet Engineer Program at Philippine Batteries Inc. (PBI), where I was immersed in GEMI Solar & BESS and assigned to the Solar Operations and Maintenance team. There, I led a key project focused on soiling monitoring improvement, aimed at optimizing the cleaning cycle of solar PV sites by using real-time soiling loss data to inform maintenance schedules—improving both performance and operational efficiency. After successfully completing the cadetship, I was promoted to Solar PV Engineer, a junior supervisory role, where I now contribute more strategically to solar site performance, data-driven operations, and technical improvements in renewable energy systems. My earlier experience at MIESCOR, under the Transmission Line Design Department, also laid a strong foundation in the power and energy sector, enhancing my understanding of grid-scale infrastructure and engineering design principles. I am deeply passionate about advancing renewable energy technologies and continue to seek opportunities where I can apply both hands-on experience and analytical skills to create impactful, sustainable energy solutions.
