If Solar Outlet purchasing is enabled in your account, once a system is sold, you will see
ORDER WITH   button in the Project page. This button will by default take all the components used in the project and add them to your OpenSolar cart. You can continue to automatically add components used in different project (with solar systems) by clicking the  ORDER WITH    button on each project. The OpenSolar cart would also show whether the components are available in Solar Outlet or not.

Note: After closing the popup, you can reopen the cart by clicking the VIEW ORDER button on the top right corner of the header.

How to link your components?

Note: These steps are only necessary in the case where OpenSolar doesn't already have the SKU loaded into for the component. 

If you are aware that a component is available on Solar Outlet but the OpenSolar cart does not link it (Not found on Solar Outlet), this could be due to mismatch in SKU. OpenSolar by default matches the component code with the product SKU on Solar Outlet. In case this doesn't match, the component will not be linked to Solar Outlet. You can properly link the component by providing it an SKU in the component activation page in the Control section. Alternatively, if is an "Other Component", you can ensure proper link by making the component code same as the product SKU on Solar Outlet.
