The update includes the following new features:

• Photorealistic presentation with integrated "Photo Plan" surveying software - by using a photo from the customer and reference dimensions, the respective roof and its planned PV system can be presented photorealistically. The programme can also determine all essential roof dimensions.
• Addition of many new objects in the 3D visualization:
  On terrain: bay windows and cylindrical universal objects (e.g. to represent chimneys)
  In building view: air outlet pipe, shed roof (single or multiple placement), fireproof wall, projecting roof, parabolic antenna, attic, maintenance paths
• Introduction of the principle of coverable objects: several buildings or dormers can now be covered with PV modules. The following objects can be added to the coverable objects: building, bay, wall, dormer, shed roof, projecting roof. All these objects can be covered with PV modules and shading objects.
  A maximum of 2 coverable objects may be stacked.
• New slide-out side menu with tree structure showing inverter configuration and associated functions: by clicking on an element in the structure, the selected part of the system configuration is highlighted and the camera zooms in on it. The side menu can be hidden as required.
• Diffuse shading is calculated in a new way, from now for each separate PV module. This results in an even more precise yield simulation.

Remark: In exceptional cases simulation results of existing projects might change to a larger extent.
