Manage multiple planes in the web portal
The web portal lets you continue a project with several roof planes on a computer. Field horizon surveys are captured in the mobile app. The portal uses existing surveys or a clear-horizon assumption.
Before adding the first extra plane
Section titled “Before adding the first extra plane”Use the same account as on mobile. Update the app and let its projects synchronise. The first conversion checks mobile compatibility. If an update message appears, follow Unblock adding a plane.
A single-plane project keeps its usual workflow. Cancelling the mobile-update message does not create a plane.
Add a second plane
Section titled “Add a second plane”- Open the project page and choose Add a plane.
- Give the new plane a recognisable name, such as “West roof”.
- Select an existing survey whose viewpoint and obstacles are suitable, or a new clear horizon for a study without measured obstacles.
- Choose the action to configure the plane.
- Check its power, PV area, orientation and tilt. Adapt proposed values to the actual plane.
- Save and recalculate when all data are complete. Saving an incomplete draft is not a complete result.
A clear horizon is an assumption, not evidence that no obstacles exist. The portal does not capture a new field survey; use the mobile app for that.
Find the right settings
Section titled “Find the right settings”The roof-plane section is below roof dimensions. Select a plane in the list, then use:
| Plane section | Content |
|---|---|
| Plane settings | Name, power, area, orientation, tilt and associated survey. |
| Horizon profile | Location, horizon profile and available photos from the survey used. |
| Energy | Energy results for the selected plane. |
| Layout editor | Module placement for that plane. |
The project’s separate Energy section, also available in its navigation bar, covers the whole installation. It shows totals, monthly production by plane and the summary table. Select a plane in the table to open its energy details.
Edit a plane’s layout
Section titled “Edit a plane’s layout”Select the plane and open its layout editor. Save pending changes first if requested. The outline, obstacles and editable placement belong to the chosen plane. After saving, check its power and the overall results.
Sharing a survey does not mean sharing a layout. Two planes with the same horizon profile can have different outlines, orientations and powers. A portal layout appears on the corresponding mobile plane; editing that placement remains in the portal.
Change the survey association or its location
Section titled “Change the survey association or its location”Associating another survey changes the horizon profile used by the plane. Check which planes share that survey and any height simulations.
Moving a survey location affects all planes using it and resets their obstacle distances and height simulations. The measured profile is not replaced by a new measurement: check its suitability at the new location. Confirming the map without moving the point preserves analyses.
Save, remove and return to mobile
Section titled “Save, remove and return to mobile”The save-and-recalculate action appears when changes require it or a complete installation still needs results. Its absence on an up-to-date study is normal. While plane changes are unsaved, old totals are not displayed as results of the new configuration.
To remove a plane, select it, use the removal action, confirm and save. Review any manually entered overall cost. Surveys still used by another plane are retained.
Consumption, battery and economics remain common; do not multiply them by the number of planes. Let the phone synchronise after saving before editing there. If a conflict occurs, preserve your entries before reloading.
