Note: If the proposal is shared be sure to un-share to enable editing.
Note: Before you start, make sure you are within an opportunity (not on the home screen). If you're not sure how to create an opportunity, check out our article: Creating a proposal - Start to Finish
Then Follow The Simple Steps Below:
- If the opportunity was automatically generated jump to step 4 - otherwise continue below:

- Click on the dropdown next to Option [#] to i) see more detail about the auto selected battery product and ii) select a different battery product where required
- Click on the Hour targets to control the quantity of batteries found in the budgets
Note: see the 'i' icon next to the word 'Hour targets' for an explanation of how this feature works - Click on the Indicative tick to control if the proposal is indicative (Call to action is 'Request Quote' or not changing the call to action to 'Sign & Accept Proposal'

Note: To create a proposal or to view the value of retrofitting a given battery solution to a customer's existing solar all you need to do is add the desired option to the proposal and you are done. You can also see how this looks with more solar. See how to add more solar here.
