# Create New Project

> Define a new project with a name and geographic location

The Create New Project page allows you to define a new project by specifying a project name and geographic location. The location determines which weather files are available and is used for solar position calculations.

## Overview

The Create New Project page is organized into two main areas:

1. **Project Header** — Enter the project name and specify the geographic location using either a location search or direct latitude/longitude coordinates.
2. **Interactive Map** — Visual map interface for selecting or verifying the project location. Supports both Map and Satellite views.
