Creating photovoltaics system project¶
Each photovoltaic system project must be assigned to a client. The created clients are only visible to the account owner. A new project can be carried out for an existing client in the database or a new client that can be added.
To add a client, enter their name (e.g. first and last name) and address, which will be automatically located using the integration with Google Maps. After confirming the location, save the information.
Next, in the "YOUR CLIENTS" section, select the appropriate client. On the right side, you will see a list of projects assigned to them and the option to add a new project.
Clicking "ADD NEW PROJECT +" requires entering the project name, which will make it easier to find later. You can also edit the installation address here, which is crucial for the subsequent analysis stages.
After saving the basic information, you can proceed to create the visualization by clicking the first of the three icons.
The EasySolar app will then display the path for each step, which must be followed sequentially, starting with designing the system.
The next step is to start designing the system. Choose one of four design methods EasySolar offers: using your own photo of the roof, using the smart tool with a satellite view from Google Maps, uploading your own map or sketch, or creating a prototype without a visualization.
For the first and third methods, you need to upload a photo, sketch, or map where the visualization will be made.
The second method will automatically display the satellite view of the entered address.
A tutorial is available during the visualization process, guiding you through each stage. It can be turned off at any time.
The first step in the visualization is to mark the area to be used for the project.
Then, adjust the perspective by providing the actual dimensions of the marked area.
After adjusting the perspective, generate the panels – choose the model and appearance.
Then enter details such as azimuth and tilt angle. You can also rotate the panels as needed.
The next stage is to edit the panel arrangement, allowing you to place them freely, you can also change the amount of panels. At this point, the system's power and the number of panels are also displayed.
After completing all the steps, name the visualization and save it.
If the prototype is selected, you need to manually enter the type of surface (flat roof, sloped roof, ground), its size, and the percentage of the area that will be used.
