This article will cover steps to be taken to add color indications in regard to electrical device connections.

Color coding

To color code, the PV area device connections, open up the Color coding tab in the Electrical design window. 

Each row of colors represents different transformers/central inverters. This means that the 1st row of colors will be used for the devices of the 1st transformer/central inverter. The color located next to the row of colors is the substation color used for the substation hatch later on.

You can have up to 18 different colors for string coloring. To add an extra color click on the plus button. You may also change these colors to whatever suits your project's needs or just randomize them by clicking on the Randomize colors button.

There are 2 options for color coding:

1. Substation zone coloring;

2. String level coloring.

Substation zone coloring

Color by substation / central inverter zones will draw up a hatch on top of frames that belong to the same substation/central inverter:

String level coloring

String level coloring is used to indicate which strings belong to the same device.
For instance, inverters, string combiner boxes:

Additional options

You may remove String level coloring or Substation zone coloring by pressing Remove coloring and choosing the inverter or transformer station:
