Why This Matters
You can now define the minimum number of batteries required for each proposal directly within your database. This feature gives you more control over system sizing and helps maintain compliance with local requirements (like utility minimums or incentive rules).Once a minimum quantity is set, it will automatically appear in the battery section of your proposal, ensuring that no quote is generated with less than the required number of batteries.
