How do I transfer an existing string plan (hand-drawn or from other planning software)?

If you created your string layout manually or with other planning software and want to transfer this layout to PV*SOL premium for documentation purposes, the best way to do this is by using the "Define Module Areas for Configuration" function.

First, define which modules should be configured together. Select the desired modules of the first string (for larger systems: the first MPP tracker or the first inverter), right-click on the selected modules, and choose "Add to 'Define Module Areas' dialog." Then, click the "Define Module Areas for Configuration" button.

Rename the module area to "String 1" (for larger systems: "MPPT 1" or "Inverter 1"), either using the button or by right-clicking and selecting "Rename." Repeat these steps for all other strings (or MPP trackers/inverters). For the last string, you can use the "Import all unconfigured modules" button:

Then click "Configure" and select the inverter(s):

The string plan will be generated according to your specifications. You define the direction, starting point, and course of the strings in the lower left corner:
