Features

Launch of new utility & usage features! Upon request, customers can opt in to use Sighten's new utility & usage features before their public release in 2.3. Read on to learn more about what new features are included and email support@sighten.io if you'd like to opt in to early access to the features.

• New rate coverage via Genability: Sighten now offers full utility and residential rate coverage within the U.S. via Genability. Beyond rate coverage, the Genability integration also brings better initial defaulting of utility and rate schedule, as well as smart selection of whether a different post-solar rate is required. 
• Expanded usage and bill cost entry options: users can now choose to enter usage or bill information in the following ways:
  • MONTHLY USAGE: Enter 1-12 months of usage data (kWh/mo). If less than 12 months are entered, the entered values are used to scale the remaining months accordingly.
  • ANNUAL USAGE: Enter 1 annual usage value (kWh/yr).
  • MONTHLY BILL: Enter 1-12 months of bills ($/mo). If less than 12 months are entered, the entered values are used to scale the remaining months accordingly.
  • ANNUAL USAGE: Enter 1 annual value for utility bill spend ($/yr).
  If you don't have any initial information when you're first running through a new project, it's also easier to proceed with the default typical usage profile.

Enhancements

• Document generation: generating documents will always pull from the same set of data for subsequent downloads or send for e-sign. Data is only refreshed if you re-generate the document. This helps make sure you can control when your product updates and documents sync.
• Document handling & storage: we've moved away from Box as a document storage provider. What this means for you? By moving away from Box, you should see less downtime and errors related to documents (downloads, uploads, and preview). 

Fixes

• Battery API support: fixes to API support for battery additions and pulling back battery information
