You'll get an overview of how an Evaluate project is organised: how to open one, what the project page consists of, and what each of the six sections of the project navigation menu contains, with a short introduction to each and links to its detailed guide.
Opening a project
You can open your project by clicking its name in the projects list on the Projects page. Alternatively, you can open a project by clicking it in the map view.
The project page
You will be presented with the project overview page upon opening the project. The project page consists of the following:
Project navigation menu: Use it to navigate to different project sections. Each section is introduced below, with a link to its detailed guide.
Energy system selector: Use it to select the preferred energy system. Basic information about the selected energy system or dataset is displayed next to it to the right, and the related data is loaded into the Analysis section. Each indicator is described in Overview page.
Access project properties and change the project's name or application visibility.
Use the three-dot project menu to change the project owner and assign labels.
Navigating the project
The project navigation menu allows you to move between six sections: Overview, Project, Data & services, Energy systems, Analysis, and Download.
Overview: The Overview section is shown by default when you open a project. It consists of the energy system selector to choose the energy system you want to evaluate, the project's general info and location tabs, and its analysis overview. Read the details in Overview page.
Project: The Project section provides access to additional project information and offers various project instruments: the General info and Apps and subscriptions tabs, the project history log with its Transactions tab, and the Location page with the site horizon and sun path. Read the details in Project page.
Data & services: Data & services lets you view and set your project data sources, its dataset add-ons, and request additional data or services. It consists of three tabs: Solargis data, Imported data, and Solargis services. Read the details in Data & services page. To learn what each add-on and service provides, see Evaluate add-ons and data source updates.
Energy systems: The Energy systems section gives you a detailed overview of the energy systems created in your project and is where you manage them. It shows the primary energy system with its design preview and the alternative energy systems table, and it is also where you access the Energy system designer to create a new system. Read the details in Energy systems page.
Analysis: The Analysis section synthesizes essential data regarding solar, meteorological, environmental, and photovoltaic system analyses. This information is vital for understanding the performance of simulated energy systems or specific locations, and it is your key to establishing the feasibility of your project. Read the details in Analysis page, and learn how to read each chart in How to read the charts.
Download: The Download section is dedicated to generating and downloading reports and data exports from your project. It consists of the Reports and Data pages, where you can also manage, archive, and download the documents you have already created. Read the details in Download page. For the full generation procedures and every available format, see Creating reports and data exports.
Viewing the projects on the map
You can switch to map view using the map icon 
at the top right.
You can select a project by clicking its icon on the map. Select multiple projects holding the Ctrl/Command button.
Open selected project details using the sidebar
icon. Revert to the project list view using the list
icon. The selection of the projects on the map will prevail.
The project workflow
The end-to-end project workflow, from creating and activating a project through simulating an energy system to generating reports, is described in Creating projects in Evaluate.
Note: Project activation and simulation are paid services. They are paid by SGU from your current subscription. The amount of units spent depends on several factors such as the type of your subscription, project activation stage, or energy system size. Learn more in Simulation costs and SGU.
