GridGap For Installers

Installers often use GridGap differently from homeowners. The main value is faster early-stage comparison, clearer client expectation setting, and more structured scenario discussion before detailed design work begins.

What GridGap is best for

GridGap works well for rough sizing direction, trade-off discussion, and comparing different client priorities. It can help installers show why one battery size, inverter headroom choice, or solar-support approach leads to a different outcome before the project moves into detailed engineering and procurement.

What installers should focus on

Installers will usually get the most value from the technical inputs, warnings, installation guidance, and equipment-check workflow. Use saved versions to compare alternative assumptions and to keep a record of how the recommendation changed when usage, battery rules, or solar assumptions changed.

What not to outsource to the app

GridGap is not the final design authority for cable sizing, protective-device selection, panel string design sign-off, installation code compliance, or final equipment approval. Installers should treat the app as a planning and communication tool, not as a replacement for professional design responsibility.
