Valentin Software has announced a new version of its PV * SOL advanced software, which allows users to generate visually appealing customer presentations in PDF and DOCX formats after system planning is completed. This concise overview presents the most important data and results of the project, aimed at helping contractors win more deals.

Another new feature includes expanded options for combining photovoltaic systems with thermal systems and battery storage. Heat pumps and direct heaters can now be flexibly connected to AC and DC coupled battery systems, making modeling of complex installations more realistic.

PV * SOL premium 2026 also introduces individual electricity rates for each consumer. Users can allocate separate rates for specific load profiles, such as household loads, electric vehicles, or heat pumps. Each consumer will automatically display their own meter in the schematic diagram, and the corresponding rates will be seamlessly integrated into the economic analysis.

The additional features of PV * SOL Premium 2026 include:

· Updated climate data using Meteonorm 9 (revised data base, faster loading time)
· JSON export of project data and simulation results for simplified processing in external CRM, ERP, or analysis tools
· New air conditioning, home office, and elderly home load characteristics
