If you're unable to see the option you're trying to add, first check the following: 

  • Double check your filters and ensure the battery you're looking for fits the criteria.
  • If the option had been added to your list, but has since been expired, it won't appear in the dropdown. Instead, toggle 'Show Expired' and re-activate the option from the list of currently inactive batteries.

If you still do not see the option you're looking for, please contact our customer support team. 

 

 


Expiring a Battery

Expiring a battery will remove that battery from all future solar proposals. 

  1. To expire a battery, click the toggle to the right. 
    1. This will immediately remove the option from the main view. To see the option you've just expired, toggle 'Show Expired'.

  2. Expiring an option will also set an 'Expiration Date', meaning any solar proposals created after this date will not show the expired option. 
    1. If you'd like to backdate the change, or prevent the option from showing on earlier solar proposals, you can do that in the battery editor.

  3. Make sure to save your changes!

  4. You can always re-activate an option that you've expired by toggling 'Show Expired', then clicking the toggle on the right again. 
    1. When an option is re-activated, the live date will populate the original date that the option had at the time it was expired.
