How to specify the APN, AHJ, Utility, and more
In the Site Info section we'll specify:
-
National Electric Code Year (we also support the California Electric Code)
-
AHJ
-
Utility Company
-
Zoning
-
Fire Code
-
Assessor's Parcel Number (APN)
-
Project Description
To enter this area of the app we'll select the information logo in the toolbar.
The following window will appear. Using the drop down menus and open fields enter your site info. APN, Utility, and AHJ should populate automatically as long as they're in public databases but that is not always the case. Electrical code and fire will also automatically populate if the code is set at a state level, though some states do not have a uniform code.
Be sure to specify the correct Electric Code year at the beginning of your project, as this field affects many aspects of the design, and cannot be adjusted later.
Optional
To add a short description of the work open the Project section found at the top of the window and use the open field that appears.
Next Steps
Continue on to begin the System Design. The first step is Array Placement where we'll specify our module, layout, and rail.
