- Welcome to ArrayTrace What the product is and how this help centre is organised. Getting started
- Sign in, register, and your account Create an account, sign in, reset a password, and manage account settings. Getting started
- Your first project A short path from a new site to a first simulation. Getting started
- Roles, view-only, and invitations Who can edit, who can only view, and how invitations work. Getting started
- How a project works From a pin on the map to a signed proposal, step by step. Projects
- Create a project and open the workspace Geocode a site, pick a profile, and open the project. Projects
- Design vs condition set Why geometry and weather stay separate, and what a simulation pairs. Projects
- Clone designs, lock, and guest share Compare options, lock for quoting, and share a view-only link. Projects
- Projects list and live readouts The projects list and approximate yield readouts on the workspace. Projects
- Designer overview The canvas, the rail, and what a design is. Designer
- Field segments Draw a roof outline, pick a module, and fill it. Designer
- Keepouts and obstructions Areas, trees and runs that remove modules and cast shade. Designer
- Layout and hand edits Auto layout, the usable plan, and edits that survive a re-lay. Designer
- Tilt, azimuth, and racking Two tilts, true-north azimuth, and what racking changes. Designer
- Site overlays Site plans, reference imagery, and placing a drawing on the map. Designer
- 3D view Orthographic scene for row gaps and clearance, not a second layout. Designer
- Keyboard shortcuts and modes Drawing modes, snap, and the keys that need the map focused. Designer
- Locking a design Why a lock exists, and that the service refuses, not only the page. Designer
- Wiring zones Group segments, pick an inverter, and size strings. Electrical
- Generate wiring What generate produces, and how issues are reported without blocking. Electrical
- Electrical outputs Wire schedule, bill of materials, strings, single-line and DXF. Electrical
- Voltage drop and electrical issues How drop is calculated, and why issues do not block generation. Electrical
- AC side and point of common coupling Opt-in AC runs, the board, and where the installation meets the network. Electrical
- Condition sets Create and edit condition sets without geometry. Conditions and simulation
- Weather Fetch weather for the site grid cell or upload a TMY or EPW file. Conditions and simulation
- Horizon and loss assumptions Horizon, soiling, snow, availability, and AC losses. Conditions and simulation
- Run the results matrix Pair each design with each condition set and queue a simulation. Conditions and simulation
- What a simulation includes What the engine models, and what stays outside a single run. Conditions and simulation
- Reading a simulation result KPIs, monthly energy, solver metrics, and the result layout. Results and reports
- Loss waterfall and donut The fifteen-step loss decomposition and how to read it. Results and reports
- Shade report TOF, solar access, TSRF, and the per-module heat map. Results and reports
- Production report The printable multi-page production report. Results and reports
- P50, P90, and uncertainty Probability figures and the uncertainty table. Results and reports
- Report provenance Engine model version and source stamps on reports. Results and reports
- Financial models Pair a simulation with a tariff and a consumption profile. Financials
- Site consumption Annual consumption shapes used in the bill comparison. Financials
- Savings and key metrics How savings are two bills, and payback, NPV, IRR, and related metrics. Financials
- Save vs Save and compute Saving inputs versus running the engines, and why results drop. Financials
- Incentives Selecting and ordering incentives on a financial model. Financials
- Costing from the bill of materials Using the price book and BOM lines in system cost. Financials
- Storage and dispatch Pair a run with a load, a bank, and a grid that is not always there. Storage and compliance
- Self-consumption vs self-sufficiency Two different ratios and what each measures. Storage and compliance
- Outages and autonomy Interruptions, backup cover, and the curated schedule library. Storage and compliance
- Grid-code compliance Verdicts against the grid code, not a stamp from the market. Storage and compliance
- Grid application pack Paperwork pre-filled from the design, with blanks the design cannot answer. Storage and compliance
- Generate a proposal Generate from a template, simulation, and financial model; freeze values. Proposals
- Report templates Layout templates used when generating proposals. Proposals
- Smart tokens The closed token glossary and how tokens resolve on the page. Proposals
- Branding on proposals Logo, accent, and firm details applied to proposals. Proposals
- Guest share links View-only project links for people without an account. Proposals
- Component library Browse and search modules, inverters, and other catalogue rows. Libraries
- Modules and inverters Detail pages and characterisations used in design and simulation. Libraries
- Import PAN and OND files Upload manufacturer files into your team's catalogue. Libraries
- Manual component entry Enter a module or inverter by hand when no file is available. Libraries
- What never reviewed means Source kinds, validation dates, and honest catalogue limits. Libraries
- Tariffs and incentives library Curated utility tariffs and incentives your models point at. Libraries
- Interruption schedules Versioned schedules used by storage and outage modelling. Libraries
- Firm price book What your firm pays suppliers, separate from utility tariffs. Libraries
- Members and invitations Invite people, set roles, and manage the team roster. Team
- Design defaults Project profiles that supply defaults for new projects. Team
- Team branding Logo, accent colour, and firm contact details. Team
- Plan and usage Plan limits and how much of the allowance is used. Team
- Billing Subscription and payment for the firm. Team
- Export and erase team data Take a copy of team data or request erasure. Team
