Engineering templates
Engineering templates allow you to create preset configurations that can be applied to new and existing designs. They contain data about the desired module & inverter, layout, loss values, and more. Engineering templates allow you to have a consistent starting point for your designs.
Creating engineering templates
To create an engineering template, go to Engineering Templates (opens in a new tab), click "+ Template", and then follow the steps. For more information about what the fields mean, see the definitions page.
Updating engineering templates
The easiest way to update an engineering template is to click on its row. Additionally, you can click the checkbox to the left of the row and click "Edit."
Important: Whenever you update an engineering template, all designs that currently use that template will update as well. Only if a field has "broken" from the template (meaning data has been locally overwritten), will it not update if the engineering template is changed.
Duplicating engineering templates
To duplicate an engineering template, click the checkbox for the template, and click "Duplicate."
Deleting engineering templates
To delete an engineering template, click the checkbox, then "Delete."
If you delete a template that is currently in use, the design(s) using it will simply "break away" from the template.
