Summary
Christina Liebner is a founder and principal with 11 years of engineering experience building and testing grid-scale and distributed solar-plus-storage systems. She has led cross-disciplinary teams from R&D to field operations鈥攄irecting the first grid-connected test facility at Form Energy and coordinating solar, battery, and inverter teams at NEXTracker to deliver DC-coupled solutions and energy bank controls. Christina combines hands-on technical depth in controls, data visualization, and Python-based modeling with product-minded commissioning experience that closes the loop between field feedback and design improvements. Her background spans HVAC and lab-grade mechanical systems to microhydro and utility-scale energy storage, giving her a rare systems-level view of energy projects from component optics to plant controls. She now consults to startups, non-profits, and design-build contractors, translating rigorous safety and test cultures into pragmatic, deployable products.
