# How to import components

**In this document**

You'll learn about the PVCC's bulk data import feature for adding manufacturer/component data already available in structured form: the two supported formats (PVCC XLS and PVSyst PAN/OND), the up-to-50-components-per-upload limit, and how to start an import (Add new → select component type → choose upload format) from the My components page.

## Prerequisites

- An active Solargis PV components catalog account.
- Admin or editor access editing purposes.

## Importing the components

Many manufacturers and component providers already possess structured data about their products. To streamline the process of adding this data to the catalog, we have introduced a data **import** feature that allows for file uploads.

You can upload components using **PAN/OND** files or as an **XLS** file. XLS files must be structured for PVCC to recognize. This structure is provided in the respective **template**. You can upload one or more components in a single upload.

To initiate data import, navigate to **My components** page:

1. Click the **“Add new”** button.
2. Select the **component type** you want to bulk-upload (PV modules or inverters). You can upload up to 50 components at a time.

In the next popup, select the format you want to upload:

- **PVCC XLS** - select if you want to upload the componets data in the XLS file. Read more about XLS component upload [here](/v1/docs/xls-file-upload).
- **PVSyst PAN/OND** - select if you have the data in PAN/OND file format. Read more about PAN/OND component upload [here](/v1/docs/pan-and-ond-files).
