Additional pages have been added to the Solo Shade Report to include the 3D point cloud data that is used to determine shade calculations and production estimates. This provides you and your customers a clearer view of the data going into the report!

Apply Custom Fire Setback Overrides
On the Fire Setbacks step of the design, if custom setbacks exist for the design location, there will be a new "Apply Pre-configured Overrides" button. This allows you to apply custom fire setbacks that have been set by your company.
These setbacks can be set by a SAAS Owner in the Design Preferences section of MissionControl,

Sunpixel™ 3D, Irradiance, and DSM Controls on the Solar Proposal
Now, on the Solar Design Page of the solar proposal, you will see an option to toggle the 3D, sunlight, and heat map data that was used for production estimates. This can make it easy for you and your customers to see which parts of the roof will produce more with their solar system, and the exact data we used to generate savings and production calculations!
General Studio Improvements
We're always looking to refine and improve our users' experience in the Solo app, especially when it comes to reducing design times and simplifying processes. Within Solo Studio, we've done just that, with various improvements such as:
- Save & Completion workflow - all changes are saved and completed from the same button, eliminating confusion.
- Improved DSM capabilities for rural properties using Vexcel imagery.
- Simplifying the Azimuth tool.
- Clear indication of optional steps in the Design Checklist.
- Notifying users when an invalid pitch (90 degrees) is used on a design.
