92 features shipped since March 2026See what we've been building — new features shipped weekly.
The forecast no longer waits for you to open the app. Once a week, your own roof's numbers arrive by email, by browser notification, or both — at an hour learned from when you are actually around.
Every week, the coming seven days for your own roof: how the week stands against the seasonal normal, a bar for each day, the best day and the weakest, the best window for the washing machine or the car, and up to four things worth doing. Subscribers see their own saved layout; everyone else a reference rooftop at the same place. Clicking it opens the viewer on your project with the forecast already up.
One notification a week instead of an email, or alongside it, with the week's verdict and the best day. Works on desktop and Android; on Chrome it carries a picture of the week. On iPhone and iPad, add SunTrace3D to your Home Screen first — Safari only delivers notifications to an installed app.
Not a fixed Monday morning for everyone. The send time is learned from when you use the app and open mail, in your own time zone, and never lands in the middle of the night. Ignore four in a row and it drops to monthly; ignore seven and it pauses until you come back on your own. Opening one, clicking one, or simply returning resets it.
Personal and Professional can now be paid once a year at 20% less than twelve monthly payments: 86.40 EUR instead of 108, 950.40 instead of 1,188. Pick Yearly on the pricing page, or switch an existing monthly plan from your account page with one click; the unused part of the current month is credited and the next renewal is in 12 months.
Not using it for a while? The cancel dialog now offers a 1 to 3 month pause. Your plan, projects and price stay as they are, nothing is charged while paused, and billing restarts on its own. You keep your paid features to the end of the period you have already paid for.
The hour-by-hour production in the Energy System dashboard, the self-consumption figures and the battery sizing now use each panel's real orientation. A west-facing roof peaks in the late afternoon, an east-facing one in the morning; before this every roof peaked at noon, which sized batteries against the wrong hours.
The whole chain in one place — team workspaces, branded proposals, electronic signature and the German tariff, tax and grid rules — alongside live site planning for land and development.
Download the whole scene as one GLB or OBJ file — terrain, buildings, every solar panel, ground mounts, placed objects and imported models, exactly as positioned in the viewer — and carry on in Blender, SketchUp, Rhino or your CAD tool. Business and Enterprise.
See what your system will actually produce this week, not what an average year says. The real hourly forecast for your location runs through the same shading model as your annual yield, with cloud, cell heating, soiling between rain, snow cover and inverter clipping on top. Every day is measured against the 22-year seasonal normal for that exact spot, so "18% below normal" means something. Alerts flag snow on the array, multi-day slumps and free rain cleaning; advice tells you the best window for the washing machine or the EV.
When the week ahead is well above or well below normal for your saved system, we tell you — instead of waiting for you to open the viewer. Paid plans get it led by a 3D render of their own roof with their own panels on it, plus the weakest day and the best window to shift heavy loads into.
A German site now gets a Tariffs & Compliance panel: the feed-in tariff for the commissioning date with its capacity bands, VAT under §12(3) UStG applied automatically, a VDE-AR-N 4105 grid pre-check, and the Marktstammdatenregister sheet filled from the design. Every figure carries its source, its date, and a warning when it is old — and your own rates override ours.
Sell a rooftop system to a block of flats. Enter the dwelling units and the local basic supply tariff, and the panel prices the tenant supply at the §42a EnWG cap of 90% — tenant saving and landlord revenue side by side, and a plain warning when the scheme does not pay.
Open a prospect from the CRM straight into the viewer as a real design, seeded with the numbers the territory scan already measured. Send the proposal and the prospect moves to quoted with the total as its deal value; a signature moves it to won. The dashboard now reports what actually closed, next to what a territory might be worth.
Your client approves or asks for changes on the 3D model, and approving takes them straight to signing the proposal. A new inbox shows every comment still waiting on you.
Send clients a page instead of an attachment: your logo, your colours, the system, the price and the savings — readable on a phone and signable on the spot.
Clients accept by signing on the page. Both of you get the signed PDF with a certificate recording who signed, when, and a fingerprint of the exact document.
Your company owns its work, not one account. Invite up to five colleagues on Professional, share designs across the team, and see whose design is whose.
Upload your logo and set your colours once. Everything you send a client is rendered in them — with a contrast check so the text stays readable.
