Calculator
New functions added
sun_azimuth()
relative_difference()
calculate_GHI(), calculate_DNI() and calculate_DIF()

For more information, please visit Calculator.
Importer
Applied time shifts during import are logged in the Time Shift log and the Change logs in a dataset.
Metadata editor
Fix column names button helps rename all column names and replace not supported special characters with '_'.
Small improvements
New instruments were added to the list of instruments.
Model and TMY datasets do not have test groups and they cannot be opened in radiation QC.
Usability improvements in the Maintenance log dialog.
Clone dataset added into the main menu under tools.
Consistency plot updated in Radiation QC for better readability.
Enhanced dataset metadata
Added backtracking for vertical 1-axis tracker in GTI configuration (same for 1-axis horizontal and vertical trackers).
We updated how metadata is stored in a dataset and a DB. An older dataset is automatically updated to a new format while it is opening for the first time. Opening an updated dataset to a newer Solargis Analyst version in an older Solargis Analyst version might result in errors or unexpected behavior.
Known issues
Timeout error
When Solargis Analyst is open for a long time, it is possible to get a timeout error while opening a screen or loading data. To fix it, refresh datasets on the main screen. This will be improved in future releases.
