You'll learn how to connect your Solargis Evaluate account to the PV components catalog so you can use your private components in your projects, and how to create catalog accounts for your Evaluate users directly from the integration page.
The Integrations section of Customer admin is where you connect your Solargis account to external services. Currently, it offers the connection to the PV components catalog (PVCC).
For the other administration areas, see Account user management, Application subscriptions, API subscriptions, and Orders and payments, or return to Company account management for an overview.
Prerequisites
An active Solargis account.
Admin rights, for editing purposes.
Integrations
In this section, you can set up your connection to the Solargis PV components catalog. This connection enables you to use your private components in your Evaluate projects.
Connecting Evaluate to PV components catalog
To connect your Solargis Evaluate account to the PV components catalog, click the "Manage" button next to the PVcomponent.com.
If you already have a PVCC account: Click the "I have a PVCC account, I want to connect it" link and follow the onscreen instructions. See Connecting the catalog to Evaluate for full details.
If you don't have PVCC account: Click the "Create a new PVCC company account" link and follow the onscreen instructions. For full details, see Sign up to the catalog.
Note: Once you connect your Evaluate account with your PVCC account, all users in the associated PVCC account will see your private catalog components and may use them in their PV energy system designs.
Adding new users to the PV components catalog
If your Evaluate account is connected to the catalog, you can grant access and create PV component catalog account for any user active in your Evaluate subscription directly from the PVCC integration page:
Click the "Create account in PVCC" link next to the user's name.
On the new page, select the checkbox to agree with the terms and conditions.
Click "Continue" to create the account.
Users with newly created accounts must reset their passwords upon their initial login. Instructions are sent to the registered email address, providing a single-click link to the password configuration page.
Quick access links for catalog integrations
Once connected to the catalog, the integration window offers links to the following features:
To manage the user account created in PVCC, use the link "Manage users in PVCC".
To manage the list of components created in PVCC, use the link "Manage my components in PVCC".
If your connection is no longer working, you can reconnect Evaluate with PV component catalog using the “Reconnect” link.
