As an installer, I want to show only the new system's production on my proposal for system expansion
Client wants to exclude production from the existing system, and present only the portion of total consumption that is not already offset by that existing system. Essentially, he wants to clearly illustrate to the homeowner how much energy they consume today that cannot be offset by their current system, then what portion of that consumption the new system will offset.

Seasonal Input for Appliances Added to Consumption Profile
Client requesting the ability to add specific months of appliance usage to consumption profile in the utility tab.
Example: Illinois pool usage is seasonal. Client currently has to extrapolate usage for pool pump/heater active seasonally and average it to 12 months.
Client would like to minimize the clicks for this by being able to input specific months of usage.

Automatically carry forward existing system production data for system expansions
When adding a system expansion, the existing system’s solar production data should automatically be included in the usage information.
Currently, installers must manually go back and re-enter this data. Automatically carrying it forward would improve accuracy, reduce manual work, and prevent errors when modeling expansions.

Allow negative usage values for system expansions
Installers would like the ability to enter negative usage values for system expansion or battery add-on projects.
This would better support projects where existing production exceeds usage or where usage adjustments are required as part of an expansion.

Allow net credits to deduct from base or connection fees
Installers would like the ability for net credits to be applied toward monthly base fees or connection fees.
This would better align billing calculations with how some utilities apply credits and improve accuracy in proposals.

Departing Load Charges
The users need "Departing Load Charges" for Non-Export solar systems in California to be modeled in Solargraf and these charges to be included in the remaining solar bill calculations.
The CPUCs in California add "Departing Load Charges" to Non-Export system clients.
Initial research showed these charges are not explicitly listed in Genability tariffs and must currently be added manually as custom costs.I can confirm that these charges are already incorporated into the pre- and post-solar tariffs of California utilities. The utility has indicated that this rate schedule consists of multiple charges, all of which are reflected in our tariffs.

As an installer I'd like to add as "Hours per day in Summer" and "Hours per day in Winter" when adding Pools in Appliances
Generally speaking, most people don't use their pool all year long and chlorine lasts longer in the winter than in the summer, because the sun "eats" it.
My pool at home generally runs about 6 hours per day for filtration and 2 hours per day for chlorination in the winter, then 8 hours per day for filtration and 4 hours per day for chlorination in the summer. Maybe it could be as simple as "Hours per day in Summer" and "Hours per day in Winter" then Solargraf's calculations blend that through the year?1 vote -

How can we model Community Energy Aggregators (like 3CE in CA)?
Many of our customers use a Community Energy Aggregator for their electricity generation. But Solargraf does not seem to give users the option to show that generation is done by a 3rd party. We really need to be able to model Central Coast Community Energy (3CE, https://3cenergy.org/) to correctly model financials in our Solargraf proposals. Is this a fix that is on your list to implement? If not, PLEASE ADD THIS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!

Display Monthly Consumption as $ in the Utility Settings
In the utility section, when displaying the customer's monthly consumption, it currently predicts the consumption in kWh. You can hover over any month and it shows the kWh for that month. I would also like to see the $/month. Either as a toggle, simultaneously, or in the save hover action.
Customers sometimes say "Well my power bill in the summer is X but in the winter is is Y". While I can enter this by adding two custom bills, I can't confirm the pricing data.

Ability to download previously uploaded greenbutton data and manually input hourly baseload in consumption profile
Hello, there are a few ideas I have that I think would really help as I know I definitely need these features!
1. Ability to re-download greenbutton data file that was previously uploaded to a project (see screenshot attached). This way, if we misplace our greenbutton data and want to make an entirely new proposal, we don't have to go searching for it. OR, having the ability to copy a project with the utility data, etc. and create a new project (i.e. One design option for rooftop solar and one for a ground mount design).- Ability to manually input customer's…

To include critical peak pricing (CPP) - Duke energy NC -SC requirement
Critical peak pricing (CPP) is one such time-varying rate plan that charges more for electricity during certain periods of peak demand but also allows you to lower electricity spending–and even receive bill credits–by reducing usage during these times. This requirement was brought to our attention by a client that is using Duke Energy NC-SC tariffs.
