System vs User libraries

SolarLayout keeps a single Resource library with two kinds of rows side by side:

• Managed rows — modules and inverters curated by SolarLayout and shipped to every account. You can use them but not delete or rename them.
• Your uploads — .PAN and .OND files you've uploaded to your account. Available across all your projects on this device.

Both kinds show up in the same Modules and Inverters tables on the Resource library page. Managed rows are marked with a Managed chip; your own uploads have a row menu with a Delete option.

The managed catalog

The v0.1 managed catalog is intentionally small — it ships as a known-good seed of representative Indian and global hardware so you can build a project end-to-end without uploading anything first. It is not a comprehensive equipment database and is not a substitute for the actual .PAN / .OND file your EPC will procure against.

What's in v0.1:

• Modules — Emmvee E620HCBG132-T (620 Wp bifacial), Insolation Green INA-144MHC-TF-560 (560 Wp bifacial), ABi Solar AB330-60MHC (330 Wp) and AB340-72PHC PL01 (340 Wp).
• Inverters — Sungrow SG3300UD-20 (3300 kW central) and WattPower WP-330KTL-H1 (275 kW string).

The catalog is expanded over time. See Release notes for additions.

Your uploads

Two ways to add to your account library:

• From the Resource library page — click Upload .PAN or Upload .OND in the toolbar above the relevant table. See PAN files and OND files for the per-format workflow.
• From inside a project — when a project's module / inverter picker doesn't have what you need, the upload flow inside the picker writes back to the same account library.

The library is per-account today. Sign in on another device with the same account and your uploads come with you. There is no separate "per-device" library.

Which to use when

Quick rule:

• Use the managed catalog for first-pass feasibility studies and early bid-stage capacity numbers — the seeded modules and inverters are representative of the Indian utility-scale market.
• Upload your own when you need the exact .PAN / .OND file the EPC or O&M team will procure against — particularly for lender-bound bankable yield models, where LTAs will not accept a generic inverter or module curve.

Finding hardware in the picker

The module and inverter pickers inside Plant Parameters show managed and user rows together, with managed rows on top. You can search by manufacturer or model and sort by Pnom rating.

If you can't find what you need:

• Search by the manufacturer's exact name as it appears on the datasheet — "Waaree Energies Ltd" and "Waaree" are different strings.
• If it isn't in the catalog, upload the .PAN or .OND file — see Uploading your own hardware.
