How does the process work with the Van der Valk integration?

    In Eturnity Expert, you have the option of transferring your project data to Van der Valk (ValkPVplanner) in order to obtain a substructure design for your current project. You will receive a generated parts list with all the required components, which will be added to the project parts list.

    1. Plan PV project and transfer to Van der Valk

    After planning your PV project in the usual way, click on ValkPVplanner at the bottom left of the project menu. Here you select the project variant to be transferred to Van der Valk. Now complete all mandatory fields. In the case of several roofs, you can transfer the setting from roof 1 to other roofs (button Based on roof 1) or make individual configurations. Once you have filled in all the fields, click on the Generate mounting system button.


    2. Import bill of materials

    As soon as processing is complete, the generated parts list is displayed. The bill of material is divided into two sections: Into components that are not created in your library and existing components.
    You can define a purchase discount and margin for the non-existent components. Depending on the country, you must define an exchange rate, as the prices specified by Van der Valk are not available in all currencies.
    You can then import the parts list and, if necessary, have the non-existent components added to your library.


    3. Collective position in the bill of material

    The imported bill of materials from the ValkPVplanner is created as a collective position in the mounting sytem section. You can define whether this item should be displayed in detail on the quotation or not.


    Reasons why you cannot transfer a project variant:

    • "You cannot transfer project variants that do not exclusively use Van der Valk mounting systems" --> Check the mounting system you used in your layout
    • "You cannot transfer project variants without roof and panel fields created" --> Draw a layout
    • "You cannot transfer project variants which are not using the 3D layout" --> Create a 3D variant
    • "You cannot transfer a project variant that does not use a two sided mounting system in pairs" --> Module pairs are always required for the selected substructure. Adjust the module layout accordingly.
