How To Enable Required Actual Data For The Consumption Profile

Why This Matters

These settings help ensure your proposals accurately reflect energy production and consumption data. Getting them right means more accurate savings estimates and more confident customers.

What You'll Need

  • Admin access to SubcontractorHub

  • A web browser (Chrome or Edge recommended)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1

From the main menu, open your profile and select“Settings”.

Step 2

Go to the Incentives/Financing section and click the edit button located across from“Action”.

Step 3

Toggle“Require at Least One Month of Usage Data” on. You can enter a custom number of minimum required months, for example, 3 months, in the“Minimum Months Usage Value” field. Click“Update” to save. Note:If this setting is enabled, then when financing a proposal with Goodleap Lease/PPA, if the sales rep has not added at least one month of actual data to the consumption profile, an error message will appear when attempting to finance the proposal, as shown in the image below.

Real-World Example

💡 A solar designer enables the consumption profile requirement to ensure every proposal includes real usage data — resulting in more accurate savings estimates that customers trust.
