Release Notes

Now accessible in  Czech, German, Italian, Polish, Slovak, Ukrainian and Vietnamese.

We updated Solargis Prospect database to Version 1.2. Some of the improvements and new features are:

• Prospect database updated and now includes 2021
• User admins receive a notification that the Prospect subscription is going to expire 30 days before the expiration date
• New registration workflow for the new users
• Updated Terms & Conditions

Previously, there was a numerical instability due to the calculation of PVOUT uncertainty margins and sometimes extreme values for shading periods were present in the data. We have introduced limits to the uncertainty bars to avoid extreme values in the case of numerical instability.

The far shading calculation for PVOUT has been fixed. In the cases where the inter-row shading was calculated for FIXEDONEANGLE and ONEAXISHORIZANTALNS geometry systems, the shading of the direct component was not functioning properly. This does not affect the GTI values, which was already correct.

Our newest tool Analyst has already been updated to version 1.4.1 with multiple bug fixes, usage of new framework and engine, and more. Some of these features, improvements and fixes are listed below:

• Analyst has new features such as the Obsolete Win 32bit installer (currently working on Win 64bit) and a robust license login window. 
• The advanced radiation check, “Radiation Advanced”, now offers adjusted graphs, improved modal dialogs, option to flag columns with displaying them, option to rescale graphs, option to flag the dataset before/without automatic detection, a P90 filter and improved mask selection. 
• Allows easy export of datasets in PVsyst standard format. 

Nowcasts have been extended in the Himawari region and now sites in Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia and Papua can receive new forecast updates every 30 minutes during daytime hours.

The GTI calculation method has been upgraded with an improved numerical stability for every small sun elevation angle.

Now available is the extended coverage of the Kamchatka peninsula and South Patagonia regions for historic and monitor time-series data. The data available for the former is full historical data, and for the latter the data available begins from 2018-01-01. 

• Yearly files for satellite models up to 2021-12-31.
• Yearly files for ERA5 meteo-data up to 2021-12-30 (with some data replaced with the final version).
• The IFS historical forecast now extended to 2021-07-01.
• The satellite model for 2022-01 was reanalyzed with fixed AOD (Aerosol Optical Depth). Original re-analysis from 2022-02-03 was replaced on 2022-02-04 evening.
