PlantPredict

New Features and Improvements!

  • Post Height Default - The racking post height may now be set as a fixed value within the Company Defaults. If set, this fixed value will override the automatic post height calculation from PlantPredict.
  • Weather File Upload Enhancements - We’ve made two helpful improvements to the weather file upload process:
    • Column mapping of weather data parameters is now automated for most column headers. PlantPredict now recognizes most column headers and automatically maps these correctly during the upload process. The ability to manually make adjustments for any unrecognized columns is still possible.
    • Intelligent default values are now populated within the POAI input fields where POAI data is present within the weather file.

Bug Fixes

  • Diffuse Stow is now Labeled as Irradiance Optimization in the Quick Edit input selection.
  • Corrected several issues leading to sporadic behavior on the weather file selection screen.

Design Pro

New Features and Improvements!

  • PVC File Export - It is now possible to download a PVC file describing the 3D geometry of the racking system for 1P multi-string trackers. This file is included in the Zip folder download from the scenario results. The PVC file can be imported into PVsyst for 3D shade analysis (or into PlantPredict 3D when it is released soon).

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where KML files that have been downloaded from a Design Pro Scenario lead to errors when re-uploading into another Design Pro project.

Voltage Pro

New Features and Improvements!

  • Default Weather File Selection - When creating a new project and calculation in Voltage Pro, the initial weather file loaded into the application by default has been improved to incorporate weather file status, creation date and distance from project site.
