Product Updates

What's New

PVX.Cad and PVX.View ship updates weekly. Here is what changed.

March 2026

Latest

Rack-level azimuth control. Set custom orientations per rack for non-standard site layouts. Fixed-tilt, tracker, and East-West racks all support arbitrary azimuth angles.
Rack design overhaul. Terrain Z-shear calculations, directional slope analysis per rack, improved pile coordinate export, and tracker gap handling. Designs on complex terrain are now more accurate.
Road and trench generation. Automatically generate road layouts and cable trench corridors within the site boundary. DC cable routing follows actual trench paths.
Corridor snapping for electrical equipment. Inverters, transformers, and combiner boxes snap to defined corridors for realistic placement.
Southern hemisphere support. Rack placement, slope analysis, and shadow calculations now work correctly for sites south of the equator.
Faster terrain loading. Satellite imagery and elevation data fetch in 4 parallel streams. Terrain loads significantly faster on large sites.
Lighter drawings. Module outlines use lightweight polylines instead of hatches. Drawing performance improves on sites with thousands of racks.

Financial dashboard. Interactive KPI cards, milestone timeline, and cash flow modal overlay. See NPV, IRR, and ROE at a glance without leaving the 3D viewer.
Revenue and cost charts. Annual stacked bar charts and cumulative cash flow line charts generated from your financial model inputs.
Video recording. Record MP4 flythrough videos directly in the browser. Share site walkthroughs with stakeholders without screen recording software.

East-West (Dome) rack support. Design E-W configurations with capacity iteration. Racks generate as combined blocks for cleaner drawings.
Contour line generation. Generate contour lines from terrain grid data directly in AutoCAD. Useful for grading verification and civil handoff.
English and Turkish localization. All 27 dialogs and settings windows available in both languages.
3D scene objects. Place transformers, inverters, and other equipment as 3D objects for realistic site visualization.
Slope and soil comparison tables. Total Area row added to slope analysis, soil hardness, and grading comparison tables for clearer reporting.
Cursor prompts. Interactive editor prompts appear at the cursor crosshair for all operations. No more guessing what the tool expects next.
Tile-based terrain processing. Large terrain correction payloads are chunked into tiles. Sites that previously timed out now process reliably.
Faster smoothing. Removed the 500-iteration hard cap on terrain smoothing. Complex sites run until the 10-minute time limit, producing better results.
Smoothing progress bar. Real-time progress reporting during terrain smoothing operations. No more staring at a frozen screen.

Initial public release. Interactive 3D terrain and panel visualization in any browser.
Solar resource assessment. Automatic irradiance, temperature, and climate data from PVGIS and NASA POWER.
Shadow simulation. Hourly shadow casting via raytracing on 3D terrain with monthly loss aggregation.
Financial modeling. 30-year cash flow projections with configurable NPV, IRR, and ROE.
Automated reports. Prospect Report and Shade Report generated as professional PDFs in one click.
Stakeholder sharing. Publish a unique URL. Anyone can view the 3D model without an account or download.
Water flow analysis. Visualize drainage patterns across the terrain surface.
Flight recording. Create animated camera flythrough routes through the 3D scene.

AC cabling automation. Complete electrical design workflow from DC strings through AC collection to the point of interconnection.
Interactive equipment placement. Move inverters, transformers, and combiner boxes with automatic cable re-routing.
Dynamic pitch shadow optimization. Faster shadow calculations for dynamic row spacing scenarios. Large sites complete shadow analysis significantly faster.
Per-polygon elevation data. Import terrain data and associate elevation independently per PV area. Useful for sites with multiple terrain sources.
Improved cabling export. Cable schedules and Bill of Quantities export with corrected routing data.
