Inverter Profiles allow standardization of inverter technical and cost data across multiple projects within a company and also simplify the entry of this data within each project. Inverter Profiles allow users to create, save and edit inverter data. Technical data for inverters may be selected and loaded into an inverter profile via the CEC Inverter database or may be entered by the user.
Note – Inverter and Inverter Station costs may be overridden within the project in which the inverter is loaded. However the technical aspects of the inverter may only be edited from within the inverter profile.
