This update is packed with new features, enhancements, and bug fixes that will take your solar design experience to the next level.

Let's dive into the new features:

1) Lead Management

Lead management is one of the crucial aspects of running a successful business, and it can be a challenging process to manage effectively. Currently, many businesses track their leads using generic CRM solutions, which can be time-consuming and inefficient. Moreover, generating proposals often requires using different tools or services, leading to delays and errors. To address these challenges, we have developed a new solution to provide a vertically integrated one-stop solution for all sales processes. This solution will streamline lead management, proposal generation, and client communication, allowing solar installers to work more efficiently and effectively.

2) Reject Proposal

Besides accepting and signing proposals, now the user can reject them as well if for any reason they want. In addition, the installer can now see the proposal sharing history on the design summary page which shows all proposals that have been shared align with their status whether they have been accepted or rejected.

3) PVGIS Weather file update

PVGIS provides information about solar radiation and photovoltaic (PV) system performance for any location in Europe. Now the user can add a PVGIS weather file in Arka 360 software for all their projects in Europe.

4) Site Survey Link

It is now possible for installers to generate a site survey link and send it to their customers to get images and videos of their roofs instead of going to each customer's house for a site survey. As a result, you will save both time and money. Based on the photos and videos that your customers share, you can create a presales design.

Now, let's move on to the enhancements:

1) Tree revamp in 3D-Link

In this release, we have improved the visual appearance of trees in 3D links. With this update, you will be able to select different types of trees for your designs.

2) East West Racking improvisation

Enhanced the overall performance of the feature and stabilized the system.

3) Adjust Face and Draw Face Azimuth selection

Now the user can change the azimuth of the roof just by clicking on the arrows directed towards each face of the roof. Just by clicking on the arrow the azimuth of that face will change.

4) Changes in Financial calculation

We have made a few changes in financial calculations by introducing Chinese Accounting i.e. In Net Present Value for reports, the System cost will be added back to this value. For US based projects and accounts the discount rate will be 0 by default. Previously it showed 6.25%. The IRR calculation will now also consider cost after Incentives right from year 0.

Other Fixes:-

  1. Fixed several minor bugs and glitches that impacted the user experience.

  2. Genability has been fixed. Now get the latest ToU rates based on your project location.

  3. Textual changes have been made:

  • Table Size Up -> Array Rows

  • Table Size Wide -> Array Columns

  • Module Spacing Up -> Vertical Module Spacing

  • Module Spacing Wide -> Horizontal Module Spacing

  • Heat Map -> Irradiance Map

  • Sun Simulation -> Sun Path Simulation

  • Fixed Mount -> Roof Mount

  • Flush Mount -> Tilted Mount

  • Core Height -> Base Height

  • Unavailability Loss -> System Availability

  • Load Ratio-> DC-AC Ratio

We believe that these improvements will enhance the overall functionality and usability of our product.
