New Project Guide

New projects can be created manually or imported from your CRM.

If you are adding a new project to Ecosuite, below is some useful guidance:

What is the difference between a Project, Site and System?

• A Project is defined by its company or LLC. If you are using two LLCs for two systems - they are two separate projects.

• A Site is defined by Physical Point of Interconnection (POI) or Point of Common Coupling (PCC). If you have two separate Interconnections. You have two separate Sites.

• A System represents a contiguous solar array or other such DER within the same Site. You may have multiple Systems on a Site.

New Project Naming Convention

• Project Code

  • Project Codes are generally derived from the name of the Project's company or LLC

    • eg. ACME MA III LLC = MA3

  • Codes should NOT use roman numerals, use decimal numbers instead (aids in readability), also note that Project Codes cannot change once set.

  • New Projects that are replacing previously canceled projects and using the same LLC should be tagged with a letter to distinguish them - the first replacement being tagged with "b", second with "c" and so on.

• Site Code

  • Can be an abbreviated version of the Project name or if preferred just use "S1", "S2" etc.

• System Code

  • Identifies the type and Number of Systems

    • Example (Ground Mount = G1; Rooftop = R1; Canopy = C1 etc.)
