Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue where SolarAnywhere version 3.4 through 3.7 were leading to download errors. This was related to the lack of wind gust data in these versions. This has now been resolved. Note that Wind gust data is available for SolarAnywhere version 3.8 and above.
- Elevation and Time Zone have been disabled as inputs during weather file upload. This was previously leading to confusion as the modification of these fields had no impact on the weather file upload. Both fields are automatically detected and set based on latitude and longitude. The fields have been disabled to avoid confusion as they are not inputs.
- Fixed an issue where the changing of a weather file after a 3D scene had been modified resulted in erroneous tracker angles in some cases (i.e. when the timestamps of the new weather file were different than the previous weather file). Now, changing the weather file correctly updates the tracker rotations in the 3D shade scene.
- Fixed an issue where hourly weather files with timestamps on the half hour (i.e. 00:30, 01:30, etc.) would cause an error in rendering of the 3D shade scene.

Improvements
- DXF File Export of Array Layout
An array layout in DXF format is now included in the results download Zip package. This can be opened in AutoCAD and includes boundaries, roads, setbacks, inverters, combiners, racks and piles. Additionally, for systems designed using 1P multi-string racks, the drawing categorizes each rack based on wind exposure as follows:- EXT (Exterior): Racks with insufficient east-west coverage
- EPNS (Edge Protection North-South): Interior racks with limited north-south neighbors
- EPN (Edge Protection North): Interior racks with limited northern neighbors only
- EPS (Edge Protection South): Interior racks with limited southern neighbors only
- INT (Interior): Fully protected racks with complete surrounding coverage
