Introduction: 🚀 Welcome to RE-Pilot

In this guide we will provide a run down of how to work with RE PILOT. We will provide information on how to import, generate and analyze your data. If you have questions please reach out to our team at anytime.

What is RE-Pilot?
- A design space exploration engine for utility-scale solar and energy storage (BESS) projects.
- Built to navigate high-dimensional design spaces (mixing terrain, grid limits, equipment, and topology) without getting lost in the weeds.
The RE-Pilot Philosophy (Why we built this)
- To explore the outliers and solve the time problem. Ensure that it is time feasible to analyze all option, not just a few.
- Explore tradeoffs to understand where the total value is.
- Explore all options before you pick a direction, ensure you spend your time on the things that matter.

Your Workspace

RE PILOT is broken into 2 main areas, your dashboard and the project. When you open RE PILOT you will access the dashboard. This is going to be the location of all you projects. To load a project just click on it. Once in a project you will have 4 main areas; Site, Meteo Data, Equipment, and Layouts. We will explain each of those areas below.

Dashboard

In the dashboard you will have all of your projects. They can be organized into different status; Active, Sandbox, Completed, and Archived. If you delete a project from a folder it is moved to archived. When it is deleted from archived it is gone forever. To change the status of a project open the project and then change it in Area → Status.

When you are in a project and want to return to the dashboard, just click the RE PILOT logo at the top left.

The Project Areas

As previously mentioned, you have 4 main areas when working on a specific project; Site, Meteo Data, Equipment, and Layouts. The intent of using RE PILOT is to work from left to right when you are active in a project.

Site

In the site are you will setup you zones and import your files. When you work with zones you will have the ability to name them as well as join some of your areas together. Below is a short video explaining how import and zones work in RE PILOT.

You can also edit zones by using the show zones feature at the bottom of the panel.
