After you have set up the project, you have to note down all the material which will be required to complete the project. You’ll also have to plan a budget for the same.

For this, click on the BOQ tab on your solar project management dashboard.

Then click on the “Click here to edit in a spreadsheet format” link as shown in the image above.

By clicking the edit link, you can open the BOQ in a Google Spreadsheet and easily make changes in the same sheet.

You can add all the material items which will be required for the project one by one simply by clicking the dropdown arrow in the Material Item column.

The codes of the material item will be assigned when you select the item. You can select the task for which the material is required for by clicking the dropdown arrow in the task column. Then enter the quantity of each material required.

After entering the material information, you have to decide the budget price of each material.

Enter the budget price of the material in the “Budget Price” column. Then enter the GST rate of the material item in the GST column. The system will automatically determine the GST amount and enter the total of Budget Price and GST amount in the “Budget” column.
