Create a New Project
Click New Project to start the project creation workflow.
A new project can be created in three ways:
From the Projects page
From the Overview page
By converting an existing Lead into a Project
All methods lead to the same creation form, where you define the project type, customer, facility type, grid connection, and location.
For step-by-step instructions, refer to the Creating a Project documentation.
Working Inside a Project
When you open a project from any view, solarVis organizes all project-related information into dedicated tabs. These tabs allow you to manage the full project lifecycle without leaving the project context.
Project Overview Tab
The Overview tab provides a comprehensive snapshot of the project at a glance. It is designed to help you quickly understand the current state, scope, and performance of the project without navigating into detailed sections.
Core Project Information
At the top of the Overview tab, you can see the key project details, including:
Project Name
Project location and address
Facility type (commercial or residential, etc.)
Grid connection type
Display whether the project contains panels, batteries, or heat pumps
Assigned user or responsible team member
Current project status
A satellite image of the project location is displayed alongside this information, providing immediate geographic and spatial context for the installation site.
Technical and Financial Summary
The Overview tab also aggregates the most important technical and financial results generated during the design and calculation process. These values are calculated automatically based on the current project configuration and design version.
Commonly displayed values include:
Total project cost
Payback period
First-year savings
DC power & AC power capacity
Battery capacity (if applicable)
Estimated annual energy production
Estimated annual energy consumption
By presenting these metrics together, the Overview tab enables quick internal reviews, early feasibility checks, and preparation before customer meetings or proposal sharing.
Bill of Materials Summary
A compact Bill of Materials (BOM) section is included in the Overview tab. This section displays:
Selected equipment and components
Quantities
Unit prices
Total costs per item
Design Version Selector
At the top of the page, you can switch between different design versions created for the same project. Each design represents an alternative system configuration, such as different panel layouts, inverter selections, or system sizes.
When you select a design, all technical and financial values shown in the Overview tab update immediately. This allows you to compare different scenarios directly on the same page without navigating elsewhere.
Download Proposal
Next to the design selector, you can download the currently active proposal. This action generates the proposal file based on the selected design and its latest calculations.
The downloaded proposal always reflects the most up-to-date project data, including pricing, production estimates, and selected equipment.
Edit Project
The Edit Project action allows you to modify the project’s core information. When you click the Edit Project button, the Project Design section opens, where you can edit the project step by step.
Changes made here directly influence how the project is evaluated and processed across solarVis.
Additional Project Actions
A contextual menu, accessed through the three-dot icon, provides additional project-level actions. From this menu, you can:
Assign the project to a user or team
Update the project status to reflect its current stage
Archive the project when it is no longer active
The Overview tab is most commonly used for quick validation, management reviews, and high-level project discussions.
It is also dynamically calculated and automatically updated whenever the project design, equipment selection, or pricing changes. This ensures that the overview always reflects the most up-to-date project configuration.
Project Activities Tab
The Activities tab provides a complete, chronological timeline of everything that has happened within the project. It allows you to:
Track project progress over time
Understand who performed specific actions
Monitor customer engagement and responsiveness
Review the full history of the project during handovers or escalations
What Is Tracked
Each activity entry represents a system-generated event or a user-initiated action, displayed with a short description and an exact date and time stamp.
Project creation
Assignment or ownership changes
Status updates
Proposal creation, sending, or viewing
Customer interactions with proposals
All activities are generated automatically by the system and cannot be edited manually. This guarantees a reliable and transparent record of project activity.
Project Notes Tab
The Notes tab is designed for internal communication and informal documentation, displayed in chronological order and related to the project.
Internal Collaboration
Team members can add text-based notes to record:
Clarifications, observations, and assumptions
Decisions made during discussions
Follow-up actions
File Attachments
Files can be uploaded directly within a note. This allows you to attach supporting documents such as reference images, customer requests, or calculation files without switching to another tab.
Any file uploaded through a note is automatically linked to the project and remains accessible later. The file is also displayed in the Project Documents tab.
Project Documents Tab
The Documents tab acts as the central file box for the project. By consolidating all documents in one place, this tab ensures that project files remain easy to find and consistently organized throughout the project lifecycle.
File Management
All project-related files are listed in a structured table that includes:
File name
Upload date
The user who uploaded the file
Download & Remove files
Documents uploaded from other areas, such as file attachments added in the Notes tab or automatically generated outputs, are also collected and displayed here.
When you add a document to a project, it is not added to the linked lead. However, when you add a document to a lead, it will appear in the Project Documents tab.
Project Tasks Tab
The Tasks tab is an optional module and is not enabled by default for every solarVis customer.
This tab is activated only upon customer request and requires an additional commercial agreement. When enabled, it provides enhanced capabilities for managing structured internal documentation and collaboration at both the project and task levels.
It is most commonly requested by customers managing:
Complex commercial or industrial projects
Long execution timelines
Multiple internal or external stakeholders across sales, engineering, operations, or partners
When the Tasks tab is active, authorized users can:
Add internal notes at the different project levels
Record task-related clarifications, decisions, or follow-ups
Attach supporting files and documents to notes
Files can be attached directly to notes, and all notes remain internal to your workspace.
Visibility and Access Control
All notes and attachments created in the Notes tab are strictly internal. They are visible only to permitted users within the customer’s workspace and are never shared with end customers. Access rights and visibility are governed by workspace permissions and the module configuration.
Project Proposals Tab
The Proposals tab is the main workspace for managing customer offers and tracking their progress toward acceptance.
Proposal Overview
Each proposal entry includes detailed information such as:
Proposal link
Customer name
Associated design version
Sending date
Sending channel (e.g., email or SMS)
Proposal status (such as Pending or Accepted)
Proposal amount with or without VAT
Grid connection type
Active / Inactive status information
View details
Proposal statuses and view details are updated automatically based on customer actions, ensuring accurate and real-time tracking.
Proposal Actions (Three-dot menu)
From this tab, you can:
Set a proposal as the default version
Resend proposals through available channels
Delete outdated or incorrect proposals
Customer Engagement Tracking (View Details)
Customer interactions are tracked in detail for each proposal. You can see:
View Date: when the proposal was viewed
Display time: how long it was displayed
View Channel: which channel was used to access it
This information helps you better understand customer interest, prioritize follow-ups, and time your next communication effectively.
The Proposals tab is the primary control point for managing offers, monitoring engagement, and guiding projects toward successful acceptance.
