If a preliminary layout from another software doesn't fit in Scanifly, what happens?

If the preliminary layout cannot fit on the Scanifly 3D model as shown, panels will be placed in the next-most optimal location for solar based on the TSRF values. If the requested system size does not fit, the designer will fit as many panels as they can to get close to the desired system size.

What if the designer has questions about the information that was submitted?

The designer has the ability to request data from the person who submitted the request at different stages.

If the designer has questions before starting the design, the status will change to Data Request. Once this happens, they will mention the user that submitted the project in the Comments section of the project with their question(s).

If the designer has questions while the design is in progress, the status will change to Data Refinement. Once this happens, they will mention the user that submitted the project in the Comments section of the project with their question(s).

For your response, please be sure to mention @Scanifly Designer in the comments so they are notified.
