Shading improvement

The accuracy of shading calculations is increased. Now we more accurately account for losses due to near shading.

Fixed Tilt improvement

We improved the Fixed-tilt configuration. You will have the ability to play with leftover mods and let some PV modules be out of electrical strings while still installed on the frame. Enjoy having more variability in your racking systems.

Navigation & Toolbar Improvement

We updated the Navigation and Toolbar. Find Dashboard, Help Center, Get Assistance, and Save button in their new locations. Enjoy the order on the toolbar. All items are cleaned and sorted.

Autoblocking improvements + Subareas

Repower your layouts by Subareas with our improved experimental blocking algorithm. Play with different equipment and constraints per each subarea to find the best fit.

LV wiring by specific blocks

We improved the Low Voltage menu. Route LV wiring by specific blocks and enjoy the granularity of your layouts.

And many more targeted updates for our clients 🌞

The number of our clients is growing and we are grateful to everyone for their contribution to the development of PVFARM. Thanks to our partners for their help in achieving these great results!
