Using terrain-aware algorithms on undulating terrain to quantify potential gains before paying for a vendor's add-on. - Added adjustable operational row spacing; backtracking now runs on a terrain-aware operational row spacing (auto-set, separately adjustable for sunrise/sunset) for both simple and terrain-aware modes, without altering physical row spacing. - Added Device Performance Profiles; users can now choose a rendering fidelity preset between Essential, Balanced, or Full Experience (Balanced by default), rendering can also be customized through settings (Figure 4). **Data & Services** - Several UX fixes on the Services page: removed confusing filter counts, clarified pricing/status wording. - Customers are properly charged (reserve SGU after request, deduct on delivery) for Service requests with a defined static price. - Files delivered for non-datasource Services are visible and downloadable directly in Evaluate. - Service-delivered files can now include an optional description (filled by Solargis during delivery) for improved context. **PVCC** - Users can now create and connect an Evaluate account with a PVCC account in a simplified way. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/ae2d502f-6c0d-4865-a68e-43ad8da61149/Images/Documentation/image-3FYS4PVE.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-16T21%3A14%3A03Z&se=2026-10-16T22%3A14%3A03Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=iR0x7cdEkUeFZ2ZYJaA6IY6TCm97KwUTOkLUCqnbU4M%3D) ***Figure 1****: See the electrical layout view within Evaluate Energy system designer.* ![](https://cdn.document360.io/ae2d502f-6c0d-4865-a68e-43ad8da61149/Images/Documentation/image-3PBJ15P3.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-16T21%3A14%3A03Z&se=2026-10-16T22%3A14%3A03Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=iR0x7cdEkUeFZ2ZYJaA6IY6TCm97KwUTOkLUCqnbU4M%3D) ***Figure 2****: See the improved and simplified move feature in Evaluate.* ![](https://cdn.document360.io/ae2d502f-6c0d-4865-a68e-43ad8da61149/Images/Documentation/image-ZZWFTAMZ.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-16T21%3A14%3A03Z&se=2026-10-16T22%3A14%3A03Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=iR0x7cdEkUeFZ2ZYJaA6IY6TCm97KwUTOkLUCqnbU4M%3D) ***Figure 3****: See the duplicate standalone functionality in Evaluate.* ![](https://cdn.document360.io/ae2d502f-6c0d-4865-a68e-43ad8da61149/Images/Documentation/image-CA0XNKFT.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-16T21%3A14%3A03Z&se=2026-10-16T22%3A14%3A03Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=iR0x7cdEkUeFZ2ZYJaA6IY6TCm97KwUTOkLUCqnbU4M%3D) ***Figure 4****: See the preset Performance Profiles and the rendering options that can be customized.*
