Stage Customisation 

This new functionality allows Pros to more easily manage their projects ensuring teams never miss a step on their tasks and workflows. 

Presently OpenSolar provides a predefined set of stages: Designing, Selling, Installing, Maintaining, Other.  With the new ‘Project Workflow’ feature in Control, Pros can now create multiple templates for project stages and their corresponding actions. This feature allows for customisable workflow templates with comprehensive information, including custom stages, their order, associated actions, and other essential details to stay on top of all your jobs and to-do’s.

Toggle On-Off Design Guides 

Easily show or hide setbacks, wiring, annotations and more for added flexibility while designing your systems.

Export Rate Tier based on System Size (kW) (Germany Only)

We’ve added a new ‘Rate Criteria’ feature in the Tariff UI that allows Pros to directly define export rates that apply to different PV system size (kW) ranges. 

Alternatively, if the Pro uses Simple Flat Rate inputs, the export rates per system size category is already prepopulated. The Pro has the option to override these values if required.

Learn more on tier-based export rates in this support article.
