June brings terrain-following trackers, slope-aware rack analysis, and a wave of placement and electrical automation — plus a guided onboarding tour for new users.
New
Terrain-following trackers. End-to-end support for terrain-following tracker (TFT) systems, so tracker rows follow the ground profile instead of sitting on a single plane.
Rack slope analysis. A new heatmap colors every rack by the terrain slope beneath it, making it easy to spot rows that need grading or a different rack type.
Automatic cabling for Auto-mode. Generate cabling automatically for Auto-mode electrical designs, so routing comes together without manual work.
Transformer placement suitability. PVX.AI now requests and renders suitability zones for transformer placement, so equipment lands on ground that drains and supports it.
Guided onboarding. A first-boot tour walks new users through the full design pipeline, from terrain to export.
Copy & Adapt. Copy existing racks and materialize them as real racks that adapt to the terrain where they land.
Redesigned modules and inverters. Rebuilt PV Modules and Inverters windows load an instant, client-side catalog, with inverter selection available right from the ribbon.
Improved
Multi-boundary rack placement. Place racks across multiple boundaries in a single pass, with capacity-iteration fixes for more predictable results.
Full East-West support in Move & Adapt. Move and adapt East-West racks just like fixed and tracker systems.
PVsyst export parity. PVCollada 2.0 export now matches PVsyst’s model — full electrical hierarchy, 3D devices, and East-West racks exported as dual fixed-tilt faces.
Road-based trench generation. Cable trenches now follow generated roads, alongside an electrical UI overhaul.
Faster, smarter Auto Design. Auto Design moves to the PVPlanner v2 engine with overview rack representations and multi-rack-spec support.
Flexible terrain import. Boundary and CRS are now optional on import, with richer contour reading.
Fixed
- Tracker overhang and motor-gap length math corrected.
- Fixed-rack pile lengths are now correct in exports and cross-sections.
- Self-intersecting road polygons are repaired automatically.
- Projected rack shadows stay in sync on Move & Adapt and Delete, built from the true ground footprint.
- Custom stringing apply is more correct and faster.
- Adapt Terrain to Pile is scoped to the selected PV Area.
More updates are landing through the rest of June — this entry will be topped up at month-end.
