# Prediction Overview

> Configure prediction settings, access sub-pages for design specifications, run predictions, and view results

The Prediction Overview page is the central hub for configuring and running a prediction. From this page, you can access sub-pages to enter design specifications (environmental conditions, power plant layout, energy storage, system details), configure simulation settings, run the prediction, and access results.

## Overview

The Prediction Configuration Page is organized into the following sections:

1. **Prediction Header** — Displays the prediction name, status, last modified date, and summary capacity metrics (MWdc, MWac, DC:AC ratio). Provides prediction-level action buttons.
2. **Environmental Conditions** — Configure weather data and time series data inputs.
3. **Power Plant Specifications** — Define the physical plant layout including PV blocks & arrays, 3D scene, energy storage system, and system details.
4. **Simulation Settings** — Configure model choices for transposition, degradation, and other algorithmic options.
5. **Results Panel** — Shows prediction run status, provides access to energy results and financial analysis, and displays prediction metadata options.
