I have transferred my project from PV Sol to K2 Base and cannot select any terminals. What do I do?
K2 Base hangs, what can I do?
Can I plan a ground-mounted PV system in Base?
Can I plan a façade system in Base?
I can no longer find an older project. Has it been deleted?
I would like to download all my base projects at once. Is that possible?
Why don't I see any projects? Are my projects deleted?
Projects are missing. What should I do if I don't see all my colleagues' projects?
How do I delete a project?
I want to copy a project and use it as a template. How does it work?
Can I plan a facade system in Base?
Where do I see my colleagues' projects?
How can I edit or delete my colleagues' projects?
How do I share my projects with people outside my company?
How can I download my project file (k2o) and send it to K2, for example?
The map view in the "Roof" section is different than in the "Project" section. Why is that?
My house does not appear on Google Maps, it is in a new development area. What can I do?
How can I upload my own images to Base, such as drone photos or PDFs, to use them instead of Google Maps to create templates?
How can I enter the values for the loads manually or change them manually?
Base calculates more modules than roof size. How can that be?
The roof dimensions in the satellite view differ from the dimensions in the 2D view. Which view is correct?
I see a white border around my building. How can I add to or extend my map or satellite image?
What does the white arrow in the roof tab mean and how should it be aligned?
How can the dimensions between the edge of the roof and an obstacle be entered?
Does Base have automatic obstacle detection?
How can I deposit my module in Base?
Why is my module not in Base?
Is it possible to enter or create module data yourself?
Can projects with frameless modules also be planned in Base?
From how many modules do I need a thermal break?
I get a message that my project is overloaded. Where can I check which part has been overloaded?
How do I transfer my data to other planning tools via K2+: PVSol, archeliospro, Kostal, GoodWe, SolarEdge, SMA, Fronius
What are the statuses for my project?
How can I check that I have planned my project correctly?
What does the yellow dot in the base in the summary mean?
How to read the base report (PDF), is there a description?
We would like to plan a bitumen pitched roof with SpliceFoot and SingleRail. Unfortunately, we can't find a suitable option in Base.
Is it possible to specify a generalised cantilever arm length in Base?
How do I plan a dome system with elevation on trapezoidal sheet metal?
What do I do with a cantilever and a rail that is overloaded on one side?
How large can the cantilever arm be?
How do I plan sheet metal tiles or metal roof tiles in K2 Base?
Does the use of sheet metal tiles affect the K2 Base layout?
I have changed the arrangement of the roof hooks or mounted them offset to the K2 Base specifications. Can I still build this?
How do I take the counter battens into account when planning?
How do I plan the horizontal and vertical installation on a roof surface?
If I have on-roof insulation, are screws in the counter battens sufficient or do they have to go into the rafters?
How is the edge distance to the roof edge defined?
Can a cross bond or 2-layer rails be planned in Base?

The parapet has a different height. Which height do I enter for K2 Base?
To what extent do obstacles influence the ballasting?
Why is the ballasting at K2 relatively low compared to other mounting system manufacturers?
Can the modules in Base be rotated by more than 15 degrees and if so, how?
From how many degrees of roof pitch should separate roof areas be installed on a flat roof?
Up to how many degrees of roof pitch is a roof considered a flat roof in the base?
Are elevation systems also displayed for flat roofs or up to what inclination are they displayed?
Why are some ballast values highlighted in red in K2 Base?
