# Setting Optimizer Requirements

Owner feature only!

1. Navigate to the inverter editor in MissionControl, for the inverter option you’d like to adjust:

2. The “Require Optimizer” field will have three selectable options: 
   
     1. Required: When this inverter is selected on the proposal, an optimizer must be selected as well.
     2. Optional: When this inverter is selected on the proposal, the option to select an optimizer will be available but will not be required.
     3. No: When this inverter is selected on the proposal, the optimizer selection field will not appear and no optimizer needs to be selected. NOTE: All microinverters will default to this option.

3. Make sure to specify inverter compatibility in the optimizer editor for any inverter’s whose requirements are “Required” or “Optional”.
