Open up the details for your custom panel and follow these steps  Click the text 'Compatible with GSE' In the drop down menu select 'half-frame' Then the panel will be compatible with the GSE frames we have in Easy PV! 

The roof options on Easy PV are slate, concrete tile, plain tile, sheet metal, standing seam, fibre cement, flat and ground mount.  If you need an option that isn't available, the choice you make here will depend on which mounting system you plan on using. Yo...

Yes, you can do so by following these steps: Navigate to the Financial task Click the pen in the top right corner Then under Tax settings you can set a rate for materials and services, and include whether the customer can claim this tax back

These sections are displayed in both the MCS performance report and the performance and battery pages of the customer proposal. You can find the performance report from the 'forms' drop-down or by clicking the three dots in the top corner of the Performance ta...

This guide applies to pro versions of Easy PV. Read more about what you gain with pro.  You can manage your company details and subscription settings in Pro Account Settings > General.  Company details You can set default information that will be used acr...

This guide applies to pro versions of Easy PV. Read more about what you gain with pro.  With Easy PV pro you're able to collaborate with your team by sharing projects and components. See below how you can configure your sharing settings.  This guide covers...

The financial projection is determined by the system cost, system output and your financial settings. Correctly configuring these settings is crucial to getting an accurate financial projection.  This guide covers: Where do I find the financial projection?...

The payback period is the time it takes for the benefits of the system to outweigh the costs. Easy PV calculates how much is saved on the electricity bill and earned from exporting across the payback period, using the selected tariffs and factoring in any fin...

This guide applies to easy-pv.co.uk. For easy-pv.ie only the Easy PV method is available. There are a few differences between the Easy PV and MCS self-consumption calculations:  System size MCS: can be used for projects with consumption between 1500-600...

Self-consumption is the proportion of electricity generated that is then consumed within the property. This could be directly or via a battery: Self consumption =  Solar PV electricity consumed within property (kWh) / Solar PV electricity generated (kWh) Ene...

This page can only generate with the Easy PV or MCS self-consumption method selected in the financial task. If you have opted to use a custom self-consumption percentage, Easy PV doesn't have the information required to determine the battery utilisation, wh...

The max voltage factors in both the open circuit voltage (Voc) and the temperature coefficient (ΔVoc/°C) of the panel. The value on the datasheet is measured at standard test conditions (STC) but the actual Voc of the panels will depend on the ambient temperat...

The overview image must be updated when changes are made to the design. To do this, navigate to the Customer proposal form (before clicking generate pdf) and scroll down to the Overview page section: Select Set Image and then Save.

The orthorectified map is geometrically corrected to give more accurate dimensions. The standard map uses raw satellite data which means dimensions may be distorted, particularly for sloped structures.   Where possible you will want to use the orthorectified ...

Easy PV returns the smallest cable cross-sectional area that achieves a voltage drop less than 1% of the voltage across the cable (or the largest cable if none do). The voltage drop along a cable is the product of the current and resistance. The current is ca...

For Quick Roof projects, you have to directly set the orientation rather than it being calculated based on the satellite map. This is done in degrees from south, going clockwise. For example: South: 0° from south  South-east: -45...

Weight loading calculations will often fail for plain tile roofs. This is because we use MCS default values for the tile weight, and the value for plain tiles is much higher than other roof coverings. If you are finding your calculations are failing when you d...
