2.3.0

General

  • Zoom levels after search have been synchronized across all Solargis applications to ensure a consistent user experience.

  • Customer ID is now visible in the customer details view in the admin section to enhance account identification and management.

  • Subscription ID and Subscription plan are now visible on the Evaluate subscription admin view to provide greater transparency for subscription management.

  • Pricing & Upgrade buttons have been removed from all applications in the Solargis platform.

  • It is now possible to invite multiple users to a company at once to streamline the onboarding process.

  • User invitations can now be resent to simplify user access management.

Prospect

  • Parameters in the Analysis section and map layers have been grouped into four groups to improve user experience: General, Solar resource, Climate, and Environment.

  • The following parameters have been renamed for transparency:

    • GHI season → GHI VAR season

    • DNI season → DNI VAR season

    • WG P99 → WG p99

Evaluate

  • Educational, Trial, and Unlimited subscription tiers have been introduced to provide users with flexible access options.

  • More details have been added to the list of SGU transactions to improve transparency.

  • The radius for designing energy systems has been increased to 2.5 km to support larger project layouts.

  • Project details are now displayed when a project marker is clicked on Map view to streamline information access.

  • A new table with a breakdown of monthly losses has been introduced to the PV losses section to give users deeper insight into system performance.

  • Progress indicators have been added to the Project data page to visualize data loading status for users.

  • Energy System ID is now visible in the URL to facilitate easier project reference and sharing.

  • The Uncertainty page has been split into GHI and DNI Uncertainty to provide clearer information on each type.

  • New tables have been introduced to display additional uncertainty-related data for more comprehensive analysis.

  • Helper cards have been updated to cover the new tables and support user understanding.

  • Various textual updates have been implemented to improve clarity and consistency throughout the platform.

Energy system designer

  • The Energy system designer user interface has been redesigned (Figure 1)to enhance user experience and provide clear access to core features.

    • General and System tabs have been removed, and a refreshed top bar layout provides greater clarity and more workspace for 3D design.

    • Installed DC capacity and CAPEX are always visible, and you can now rename the energy system or add notes directly from the designer view.

    • Simulation dataset selection is postponed until the simulation, so it no longer blocks the design process.

    • Horizon and albedo values can now be managed directly within the designer, allowing you to see the impact of shading changes instantly.

  • An interactive Bill of Materials has been introduced (Figure 2) to help you estimate project costs as you design:

    • Unit prices and spare quantities can be assigned directly to components such as modules, inverters, or trackers for precise budgeting.

    • Prices update live as you modify the layout, ensuring the total CAPEX remains visible at all times.

    • Custom items (e.g., labor, fencing) can be added to capture all project expenses.

    • The impact of design decisions on overall cost is instantly visible, supporting informed decision-making.

  • It is now possible to simulate snow and soiling losses directly within the design scene (Figure 3).

    • The Soiling & Snow models account for mounting configuration, natural cleaning events (e.g., rainfall), and user-defined manual cleaning events.

    • Results are more realistic and site-specific compared to default values, with no need to leave the designer.

  • KML import functionality has been enhanced for more precise planning and data integration (Figure 4).

    • A structured table view enables previewing and classifying geometries before confirming import, streamlining the process.

    • A new Import folder allows multiple KML files to be managed independently.

    • You can selectively convert relevant shapes into Solargis-native entities, e.g., Segment, Shading object, or Restricted area.

  • Slope visualization has been introduced to make terrain assessment easier. Areas exceeding your chosen slope threshold (e.g., 12°) are highlighted, helping you identify zones that may require fixed-mount structures or special tracker placement.

Reports & exports
  • File names for reports and exports have been unified across the Solargis environment to simplify file management.
