This article will show you how to generate a PV (Solar) Site Information Plan in OpenSolar.
These plans have been designed to be in accordance with AS/NZ 5033. If you feel If you have any feedback, please reach out to us at support@opensolar.com.
To generate a solar site plan, you will first need to create a document template in OpenSolar. Do this by going to control > other > document templates > +create a new document template.
You can then give this new document a title (e.g. PV/Solar Site Plan) and set the "type" as generic document. Then click save.
Choose the option .
You will then have a blank text box box area below where you can start create your solar site plan document template. We have created an example here for you:
Simply add a title and some key details that you want to include, for example:
- Install date
- System size (kW)
The above image shows how you can access mergecodes/placeholders (the grey bubbles) so that information is automatically added into this document when you go to generate it.
To make this whole process easier for you, feel free to copy the below code into your template. You will need to open up the code view of your template and paste it in. Click this icon at the top right of the text box to open the code view:
Then paste in this code:
<p style="margin-top:0cm;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:8.0pt;margin-left:0cm;font-size:15px;text-align:center;background:red;"><strong><span style="font-size:24px;color:#EFEFEF;">PV (Solar) Site Information</span></strong></p> <p><strong>Address: {{project.address}}</strong></p> <p>{{snippet_system_image_with_annotations}}</p> <p>Installation date: {{projct.installation_date}}</p> <p>System size (kW): {{system.systemKwStc}}</p>
After you have done this, you should also add a warning at the bottom of the document:
"Warning DC Disconnection Points may only be operated by suitably qualified personnel."
Now you have created a template for your solar site information plan. To add annotations (for inverter location etc.) you can find out how to do that here: Annotations.
To quickly generate one of these plans, simply go and select a project, go to the info tab, and then click generate document on the right. Select the template you have just created. And that's it!
