What system configurations does Solargraf support when generating a line diagram?
After completing the electrical design, you can generate a line diagram for systems using microinverters, string inverters, or AC panels, as well as storage configurations using an Enphase or Tesla battery.
Can I download a copy of the line diagram?
Yes. Once you have generated the line diagram, it can be downloaded as a compressed ZIP folder containing a DWG design file and a PNG file.
The DWG file includes CAD renderings of the single-line diagram (SLD) and the three-line diagram, and the PNG file includes a high-resolution image of the SLD.

Why is the electrical design page missing for some of my users?
The ability to use the EDT is determined by the permissions settings for a user's assigned role in Solargraf.
Navigate to Account settings and under the Users heading select Roles & permissions.
Next, click on the role you wish to review. If the role should be able to use the EDT, ensure that the Access electrical design toggle switch is enabled from the Design permissions.
