To duplicate an existing project, use the menu next to the project drop-down and select Duplicate.
This will create a copy of the selected project that you can begin editing. Using the duplicate option makes it easier than ever to iterate on your designs or create multiple project options to pitch. For example, you may want to use different projects to compare regular vs premium equipment, an expanded vs smaller layout, or solar vs solar plus storage.
You can rename your new project to help keep track of the projects you are working on. More on renaming your projects here: How do I rename a project?
If you already have multiple projects, select the project you want to copy before you select the Duplicate option.
Duplicating a Project After a Change in Production Methodologies:
If your organization has changed preferred production methodologies (e.g. from Sighten's internal method to PVWatts) after a project has been created, that project can be duplicated with either methodology. Production methodologies are changed by users with access to Settings - should a user attempt to duplicate a project with a now outdated preferred methodology, a prompt will appear asking which method the user would like to proceed with. The existing methodology can be used and calculations will remain the same - likewise, the alternative methodology can be selected and production calculations will update accordingly. Please read on below for an example of this functionality.
