# New in August 2026

## Updates

- Added an updated component editor for [custom meters and isolators](https://help.easy-pv.co.uk/books/creating-components/page/custom-ac-isolators-dc-isolators-and-meters).
- Added note to Alpha ESS installers 
    - If you are planning your first Alpha ESS install you need to contact Alpha before the installation to be on-boarded and issued an installer license number which you will need in order to commission a system. Alpha will also be able to provide guidance and technical support to assist with your first installation: [https://www.alpha-ess.co.uk/become-approved-installer](https://www.alpha-ess.co.uk/become-approved-installer)
- Fastensol mounting has been reinstated on Easy PV now that it has an MCS certificate.
- The email notifying you when a document has been e-signed now directly links to the relevant project.
