🇦🇺 How to Customise/Update STC settings?

Summary:

The following article will walk you through the steps to update your current STC incentive for the upcoming year. We will review two processes one for new OpenSolar users and the other for existing users.

Table of contents:

• Accessing your incentive list
• New OpenSolar Users
• Existing OpenSolar Users

Accessing your incentive list:

From the Control page, find the heading Incentives under Other on the left-hand sidebar.

In this section of the Incentives List page, you can change the STC incentive price and the years remaining, which will be used to calculate the generated proposals' financials.

This will take you to a list of available incentives, and you can see which ones are applied or not in the list:

Steps for new OpenSolar Users:

Click on the pencil icon next to the STC, and you will land on the following page: 

On this page, you must check/modify the 'Incentive Price' and 'Years Remaining' that will be applied for the year.

 Once you have finished editing, then ensure that you press the  button at the bottom of the page.

Steps for existing OpenSolar users:

It is important for you to create a new STC incentive by duplicating the existing one for the following year. You must carefully modify and update your STC incentive by following the instructions below.

Note: You must not modify your existing STC (e.g. STC 2024) for the next year (e.g. STC 2025) because it has been applied to your current/old projects. Modifying the existing STC will affect the calculations of all your existing projects that have been applied.

• Go to Control > Other > Incentives
• Duplicate the 2024 STC by clicking this button under the 'Actions' column

• Rename the STC to the Current Year [e.g. STC 2025]
• Change the value in the necessary fields [e.g price and years remaining]
• Turn on Auto-Apply (Remember to turn off the old STC, so it won't apply automatically to your new projects for the new year.)
• Save
