New features

  • Added an experimental mode named "Complex" for Curved Surface (previously named Parallel Mode) to better handle very curved surfaces and keep a consistent spacing between modules.

  • Made the backside gap a feature available for both BIPV and BAPV systems. No need to explicitely allow it on BAPV modules anymore. BIPV modules with a backside gap won't make their support surface transparent.

  • Added the ability to edit the cell directly in the BAPV and BIPV editors.

  • Added PAN import in the BAPV module editor. This allows to populate the cell and module editors with the data found in a PVsyst PAN file.

Enhancements

  • Added surface area to the irradiance indicator when selecting a surface.

  • Added the total number of modules on each system type in Solar Design.

  • Reversed the shadowing scale in 3D Irradiation so that 0% means 0% shadowing, and 100% means 100% shadowing.

  • Added the ability to switch to the Offline site settings editor when the map is unavailable in the Online editor.

  • Added additionnal checks on modules and display a warning to the user when a module found connected to a string is found disabled for any kind of reason.

  • Added editable LID loss parameter to both BAPV and BIPV modules.

  • Rename Busses to BusBars in cell editor.

  • Increased BusBars maximum to 20 in cell editor.

  • Enhanced drawing of cells in cell editor when they are very elongated in their dimensions.

Bugfixes

  • Removed support for IDF projects for now.

  • Fixed crash about unsupported non-latin characters in paths when using using the library.

  • Fixed writting of hours when exporting weather data as EPW files. They were off by 1, 0-23 instead of 1-24.

  • Fixed the geometry of BAPV modules when they are double sided, so that the back cells are positioned exactly in the back of the front cells.

  • Fixed a regression on Curved Surface since 2.0.0 where it may have disabled BAPV modules in undesired circumstances, leading to crashes when the unexpectedly disabled module was connected to a string. This fix may lead to disabled BAPV modules to be re-activated. A migration warning is emitted when this is detected.
