Engineers that don't start the engine probably aren't going to set up the engine no matter what incentive you give them, outside of the CE sealing them in the engine like how he could on ovarystation. And that really isn't a graceful solution to the problem.
I think it would be a better idea to let the Cyborgs turn valves so they can start the engine, and give the entire engineering department, including QMs and miners, access to the solars as well. That way, the Captain, HoP, AI, Engineers, Mechanics, QMs, Miners, and borgs would all have to drop the ball for the station to be without power. Add in some paper with guidelines to set the solars by for newbies, and ideally rounds where the lights and equipment go out would be less frequent.
