Projects, Versions, And Scenarios Explained

GridGap stores work in a layered structure. Understanding that structure is the key to understanding why results, warnings, and recalculations behave the way they do.

Projects

A project is the top-level container. It groups the versions and scenarios for one overall planning job, such as a house, RV, boat, office, or shop.

Versions

A version is a saved state of that project. Older versions remain editable. If you open Version #1 later, you can still change it and recalculate results for that same version.

If a version is deleted, remaining versions are renumbered sequentially with no gaps.

Scenarios

A scenario is one modeled setup inside a version. Each version can contain up to two scenarios: battery + inverter only, and solar + battery + inverter.

Scenario numbering is always local to the version. If one of two scenarios is deleted, the remaining one becomes Scenario #1.

Calculate behavior

Calculate recalculates the version you are currently editing and replaces only that version's stored results.

Calculate New Version clones the currently opened version, then calculates the new version and preserves the source version unchanged.
