New Commercial Design Tools, Obstacle Types, New Map Providers
Shading analysis for commercial projects, panel grouping for large arrays, new high-resolution map providers, richer obstacle shapes, keyboard shortcuts, and dynamic measurement labels arrive in one release.
Shading Analysis for Commercial Projects
Full shading analysis is now available for commercial PV projects, giving you the same precision on large-scale rooftops that residential has had all along.
Panel Grouping for Commercial Projects
Organize multiple panels as grouped units instead of placing them one by one, dramatically speeding up aligned array creation on big roofs.
Enhanced Map Providers
Two new map providers supplement standard Google Maps — Google Maps HD (Solar API) and Azure Maps — for better imagery quality and more reliable roof detection.
Keyboard Shortcuts
Quick-access shortcuts for common roof modeling actions, surfaced through a new shortcuts helper next to the delete button.
Advanced Obstacle Types
Beyond rectangles, add circular and polygonal obstacles to model chimneys, skylights, and irregular rooftop features. A new Flush option anchors obstacles directly to the roof surface.
Dynamic Dimension Labels
Measurement labels stay readable at every zoom level, so you can verify dimensions without fighting the canvas.
MCS-Certified Materials (UK)
UK projects now display MCS-certified panels with certification details accessible directly from the materials database.
Turkey Regulation Support
Projects in Turkey now reflect the 4,000 kWh system limit requirement automatically in feasibility and compliance calculations.
