Design Pro
Power Plant Output Limit
It is now possible to set a power plant output limit to be applied at the point of interconnection within Design Pro. This can be set and toggled on/off from within the Losses page. This curtails any production at the point of interconnection which exceeds the Power Plant Output Limit.
Minor Updates and Bug Fixes
- GCR/Capacity Graph Improvements
- Fixed several BoQ and Compare Tool inconsistencies
- Fixed missing data from scenario comparison download
- Fixed perimeter fence units (to m) for Thin Film simulations
- KML window improvements
Voltage Pro
Control of Racking Type, Azimuth and Tilt Angle
It is now possible to set the racking type to single-axis tracker or fixed-tilt, specify the racking azimuth and specify the module tilt angle (for fixed-tilt only). These selections also show up in the output report.Treatment of Direct Shading
Voltage Pro now ignores the effect of direct shading (for fixed and tracking) and continues to implement a true-tracking algorithm (for single-axis trackers). This ensures conservative “edge-of-array” conditions are the basis for open circuit voltage calculations. The treatment of direct shading has been added the output report.Minor Updates and Bug Fixes
- Added NEC 2017 and 2023 to output report compliance table
- Added a warning when user selects a single year weather dataset
- Updated report logo and VP version number to 2.0
