Curated Lists

Curated Lists

PowerClerk’s built-in DER form elements are backed by curated Lists like the CEC’s PV equipment list and the energy storage equipment lists. These lists allow Administrators to reduce data entry errors so that analysis can be replicated consistently and accurately across all projects in their programs. Comprehensive Global Lists, like the Electric Vehicle and Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment lists, offer a breadth of specification details and flexibility. Program Administrators can select which data fields to use without having to research and track these aspects themselves.
