New in September 2024

Lots of exciting new features have been rolled out this month.

New financial task and automatic pricing

We've completely overhauled the financial task to make it quicker than ever to create accurate quotes and projections for your projects. This is quite a big change so take a look at our detailed guide to learn how to use the financial task.

Here's a summary of the important changes:

• You can now manage default financial settings you want to use for all your projects via your account preferences or Pro team preferences. Learn more.
• You can also configure pricing rules so Easy PV can automatically generate quotes for you based on your project design. Learn more.

• The financial task will automatically generate the quotation and projections based on the defaults and pricing rules you've configured. You can override your defaults on a per-project basis via the settings popup on the financial task.

• You can also add grants and discounts to the quotation and include loans, running costs and other custom savings in the projections.

• The projections can now be based on variable-rate tariffs when using the Easy PV consumption task to calculate self consumption.

New MAGIC design mode

We're excited to be releasing a beta version of our new Magic design mode. Using 3D data and high resolution imagery, we automatically work out the form of buildings create 3D models for you, as well as identifying obstructions.

Magic mode is an experimental feature, and we won’t detect every building shape perfectly. Please expect to have to do some tweaking of roof shapes or obstructions on more complex roofs. It works better in urban areas where more detailed aerial imagery is available.

We’re working hard on magic mode, and we expect to regularly release improvements over the coming months. While this service is in the beta phase we are offering access for free to both free and pro users. Free users are restricted to three designs per day. We reserve the right to start charging for the service in future.

Customise customer proposal with your branding

We're delighted to be releasing one of our most requested features. Pro users can now apply their branding to the customer proposal document and apply additional customisations. To configure your customer proposal, navigate to the 'Proposal' tab in your Pro account settings.
