Sign up to the catalog

Creating your account

You can create a PV catalog account in two ways:

• by creating a new company account,

• by receiving an invitation to join a company.

Invitations

Invitations are initiated by the company account administrators. You will receive an email and create your account by following the email instructions. This will ensure you are invited to a particular company.

Invitations allow the invitee's role to be a reader, editor, or administrator.

Company accounts

Creating a new company will generate a brand new company account, and you will automatically become its administrator. Company accounts need to be validated to ensure the eligibility of its users to add new components to the catalog.

Company administrators can create new catalog entry requests and manage company users. Additionally, they can also view the company’s API access data and its usage.

Account creation process

To manually create a new company account, navigate to the catalog website:

1. Click the “Sign up” button.

2. Enter your credentials into the respective fields.

3. Agree to our terms & conditions and sign up for our newsletter (optional).

After entering your details and agreeing to our T&Cs, click the “Continue” button. A new prompt to verify your email will show. The activation link will be sent to you via email.

If you have received an email invitation to join a company, clicking the link in the email will take you to step 2 above. You can continue from there.

Adding your company details

Once you confirm your email, you will be redirected to enter your company details in the next step. Ensure all information is correct, as this will be used for your invoices. Please pay particular attention to entering the correct VAT ID (EU customers).

After you submit your company details, you can log in to your PV components catalog account.

Next, we will require you to submit supporting documents to verify your company. This is an important step to ensure you are eligible to add components.

1. Navigate to your company account if not already there.

2. The account status will be shown in the General panel.

3. Upload the supporting documents for review.

You can edit your account details until the documents have been approved and the account activated. After that, you can not change any company details.

Once we verify your company, your account will become active. However, you won’t be able to invite users or get your API keys until then. You can still browse the catalog, create components, and view component details, but you will not be able to send a new component for review.
