Support frame selection or set selection for multiple PV zones.

7. Array Layout Optimization

Significantly enhance the performance of Array Layout Optimization.

8. Review shading

Increase the sampling points when drawing arrays's shadow, so that the calculated shadow is closer to the actual situation.

9. Create road

Optimize the performance of generating road outlines and physical roads.

When drawing and editing roads, a new related menu has been added to the right-click menu.

No fillet at isolated endpoints on the inner hole of the road contour line.

10. The array is combined according to the PV module

The PV module Auto stringing function has been enhanced with the parameter of combining in two cells based on the PV zone, which can eliminate the mutual interference between PV modules in different PV zones during row separation.

The starting point for indexing the component strings data in the exported dwg is selected as the point with the smallest x-value after rotation according to the array azimuth angle.

11. Divide power block

1) Main interface

List of new parameters: String DC capacity/Transformer AC capacity.

2) Auto create power blocks

Modify the sorting algorithm, increase possible plans, and improve the divide result.

3) Assist create power block

strings, power, and the estimated number of transformers will be automatically updated on the form after creating a power block.

12. Electrical connection Divide

1) Manual wiring

Create multiple Combine Layout zones - Add the function of automatically combining Selected arrays

When resetting the plan or performing AUTO wiring, it displays suggestions on how many strings to select more or less.

Eliminate orientation increase, select by frame (up and down), select by frame (left and right)

Optimize the elimination effect of flat single-axis strings.

In Continuous partition mode, you do not need to hold down Ctrl to select multiple strings.

2) Draw route and Edit route

New: Check cable route function not connected to transformer.

New: Auto connect cable route function for cables not connected to a Transformer.

Organize the right-click menu for ease of use.

3) Auto Combine

Modify the sorting algorithm, increase possible plans, and improve the divide result.

13. View cable tool and export cable list

Increase the penalty weight when the Combine device is projected vertically onto the Cable route, and

try to make its horizontal projection align with the path.

Summary table of Thin cables is added.

14. MV cable Combine

Adjust the Medium voltage cabinet Model.

When placing the medium voltage cabinet, it can be aligned with the already placed switch cabinet.

15. Array analysis

Analyse by pitch, right-click menu to Export data: Add Array pitch statistics.

Type Analysis - Export Table: Add Array type statistics quantity.

16. Export dwg

1) Export c2c

Export dwg setting: The content to be exported can be controlled through options.

Added the function of Exporting Slope analysis-Count-Color layers.

Add the function of exporting contour lines based on terrain.

2) Export electrical system diagram

The low voltage current transformer supports three group.

min circuit breaker specifications based on the Type of L1 devices.

17. Adjust arrays and generate site leveling general plan

The fixed rack can be set with adjacent row height differences for both the south and north slopes.

Increase the function of the entire terrain after exporting the leveling (resampling).

Replace mountains -- replace with complete mountains that blend with the original Terrain after site leveling.

18. Read coordinate and device info

Read coordinate and display the height above ground of the capture point.

The Read coordinate tool has added a right-click copy function.

19. Batch move/copy arrays

Move and Copy Array: Press F4 to enter multiple coordinates for copying, but only the first one will take effect when moving.

20. Find devices

Support finding based on layer.

21. Merge skp
