Continuous improvement
Between major features, the solver and tool are improved and bug-fixed continuously. If a layout does not look right, use Report a layout directly from the tool — your report feeds directly into the next fix.
Updates
v0.68What changed, as it ships.
September 2026
New Feature: Cable routing on the layout
Toggle the DC, MV, and primary cable home-runs on your site, colored by conductor — see how every DC block, skid, and the E-house connect at a glance.
New Feature: Service-clearance overlay
Toggle the maintenance-clearance envelope around every DC block and PCS skid, so you can check service access before committing to a layout.
Docs: See the cable routing on every BESS section
Toggle the DC→PCS cable runs on the section docs, and switch each section between a 20 ft and 40 ft skid.
New Feature: New BESS section: Solo Centered
A PCS & MV skid centered between two DC blocks — now selectable in the BESS section options.
Improvement: Roadmap and feature request page
The roadmap page now doubles as a feature request board — submit ideas directly from the page.
Bug Fix: Locked equipment no longer disappears on Regenerate
Pinned BESS sections and the E-house stay in place when the layout is regenerated.
Improvement: Drive-through road and gate improvements
More reliable gate connections on adjacent, opposite, and corner-edge configurations.
August 2026
Bug Fix: Equipment no longer placed on roads
Fixed cases where BESS sections could overlap internal roads after packing.
Improvement: Tighter packing on angled and irregular sites
More capacity on non-rectangular parcels, with equipment centered between perimeter roads.
Improvement: New site-plan drawing style
Color-coded equipment with service ends visible. PCS & MV skids orient toward the E-house.
July 2026
Improvement: Report confirmation emails
Email confirmation with a reopen link and a screenshot of the map as you saw it.
New Feature: Hand-build a layout
Clear unlocked equipment, add sections from a menu, and arrange each one by hand.
New Feature: Rotate 90° and enforced spacing
One-tap square turns and automatic fire-safety spacing when dropping equipment.
New Feature: Quad Split section and 2-hour PCS sizing
2×2 DC block section with correctly sized PCS for 2-hour and 4-hour duration.
Docs: Example layouts, 10–400 MW
Six reference pages with real solver output at 2h and 4h duration.
New Feature: Free BESS calculators
Land area, equipment count, and MW ↔ MWh calculators — no signup required.
New Feature: Move & lock equipment
Drag, rotate, and lock BESS sections — the solver re-packs around pinned equipment.
New Feature: Drive-through roads
Gate-to-gate road through the site with equipment on both sides.
Improvement: One-tap site detail presets
Preset chips for road width and spacing replace raw number inputs.
New Feature: Report a layout
Describe what looks wrong — the full layout is attached automatically.
New Feature: Named manufacturer equipment
Jinko ESS and NR Electric models selectable alongside generic equipment. Pro plan.
Docs: Documentation
DC block configurations, BESS sections, roads, gates, and spacing rules — all documented.
New Feature: Perimeter fence and gate entrances
Fence on the drawn boundary with gates and paved entrances into the road network.
New Feature: Road layout options
Ring road, drive-through, or no interior roads — see the capacity impact instantly.
New Feature: Movable E-house
Drag and rotate the E-house anywhere — the layout re-solves around it.
Improvement: Boundary editing on mobile
Touch-drag boundary vertices for full mobile drawing support.
New Feature: Odd-shaped parcels
The solver packs irregular polygon boundaries, not just rectangles.
