Avinesh is the 'inside man' for companies who want to embark on a solar project and have someone with incredible skills on their team. Very few people have the years of experience, and depth of skill in feasability analysis, project specification, and project management. Call him... you'll see what I mean.

Avinesh is a Mentor, a Motivator, and a Responsible Management Officer. Coming from a background completely different from Solar or Renewable Energy, he built the interest and confidence within me and our team about Renewables. He made everything easy to understand and you could really see his sincerity in wanting to do great and remarkable projects which will benefit the clients. Integrity and Honesty are some of his best attributes. He motivates us to pursue a field unfamiliar to us and guided us to promote something that would be for the greater good. He is adept and skilled in renewable, having more than 17 years of knowledge and experience. He knows how to balance work and fun and we respect him for his good values.

I worked with Avinesh for a year at Energus, and highly recommend him as a solar professional with an in-depth knowledge across the field. Avinesh was not content to rely on his ability as a senior renewable energy engineer, but was actively broadening his skill-set into procurement, logistics and management. I learned a tremendous amount from Avinesh, and very much enjoyed the experience - he is a pleasure to work with.

      This was a very exciting and satisfying role, simply being part of the rural electrification unit, project management of the electrification of 100 villages per year with grid extension, solar powered systems and diesel generator systems, i always felt like i was giving something back to my people.Undertaking resource assessment for solar and wind sites whilst visiting 100's of rural villages made me a better and a giving person.I was also involved with many technical studies undertaken by the Asian Development Bank (ADB), SMEC, World Bank, UNDP, UNESCAP, and European Union.
