### *The new map export is now available as a beta*

Date: October 27, 2026  
Change size: #Medium

Everyone can now try the new map export (V2) in Glint. The current export stays the default, so nothing changes until you switch it on, and you can switch back any time.

*How to try it*

1.  Right-click the map and choose *Export map view*
2.  Turn on *Try the new map export · Beta* in the top right

### ***Map legend and constraint layer preview***

Date: October 21, 2026  
Change size: #Medium

*Map legend:* See what the colours and symbols on your map mean, without leaving the map. Open it with the new *Legend* button in the map tools, or press *Shift+I*.

*See which layers a constraint profile uses*  
• In the Constraints window, hold *Shift* with your mouse over the window to show only the layers your constraint profile uses. Hover a single constraint to narrow it to just that one. Let go of Shift and your map is back to how it was.  
• To keep that view, click the new :map: *See constraint layers in the map* button next to "Add constraint". It turns on the profile's layers and turns everything else off.

## September 2026

### Contact page design improvements

Date: September 30, 2026  
Change size: #Small

We heard from several customers that the table view for projects worked better than the one on contacts. We listened, and upgraded the contacts page so they both work the same. Faster bulk editions. Faster changes to data. Consistent experience. While we were tinkering on the page we also added a column for recent activity so you can easily see when a contact was last edited or commented on.

## August 2026

**Farmeable Area**

*Date: Aug 31. 2026.*  
*Change size:* *#Medium*  
*Geographic Availability: France 🇫🇷 and Italy 🇮🇹*

You can now calculate how much ground in your layout stays usable for crops, grazing or machinery once the clearance around the poles and the footprint of any other site infrastructure, such as access roads, substations and technical buildings, are removed.

**How to use it:** In the new analysis side bar, open the Agrovoiltaics section. Click farmeable area. Define the clearance from your poles. And select whether you want to use the full PV polygon or just the table area. The farmable area result will appear in your Analysis report, under geography. This is also available per polygon, using custom PV polygons.

### **Land Screening**

*Date: Aug 20. 2026.*  
*Change size:* *#Large*

Land Screening lets you sweep a large area, such as a US state or a medium-sized European country, in one go, so you have a better chance of finding sites that fit. The search runs on your existing constraint profiles. A search returns a list of opportunity areas that you can sort and filter. Each opportunity area shows its buildable area, and so does every parcel within it, so you can rank on what is actually developable rather than on total size. You can investigate each one, then take the whole area or just the parcels you want into a project or export it to CSV.

### **Queue multiple layer uploads**

*Date: Aug 18. 2026.*  
*Change size:* *#Small*

You are no longer limited to waiting for a layer upload to complete before adding another one. Uploads are now queued. You can also multi-select or drag+drop multiple files for layer upload at once.

### **Review DXF files in Glint (beta)**

*Date: Aug 14. 2026.*  
*Change size:* *#Medium*

Upload a DXF into Files and you will get a new Reviews tab next to Analysis. Here you can see a full list of every layer in the file. You can also interact with each element through the map. The DXF itself is not editable, but users can copy elements to become objects by right-clicking an element and selecting line or polygon. More details in the [help centre](https://knowledgebase.glintsolar.com/en/article/review-dxf-files).

### **Patterns on polygons and lines**

*Date: Aug 13. 2026.*  
*Change size:* *#Small*

You can now set patterns on polygons and different stroke types on lines. Simply select an object, and select which pattern or stroke type you'd like. For patterns you can control opacity and color like you are used to for objects with a fill color. Note, the opacity defaults to 100% when you select a pattern. For lines you can still still choose stroke weight, color etc like before. Patterns and styles you select are reflected in map export and analysis export.

## July 2026

### High resolution slope available in an all US states (except Alaska) and in Puerto Rico

*Date: July 24. 2026.*  
*Change size:* *#Small*

There is now a slope layer, and Buildable Area, Area Insights and Constraint Layer work with constraint *Steepness*.

The resolution is 1m resolution wherever it’s available, and we fall back to 1/9 arcsec (roughly 3m) resolution data wherever only that is available. Some areas are covered by neither of these sources.

  

### Comment right in the map and loop in your colleagues

*Date: July 10. 2026.*

## April 2026

### Constraint Layer: Visualize your constraint profile as a layer

*Date: April 27. 2026.*  
*Change size:* *#Medium*

Applying your constraint profiles as a layer lets you instantly see how all your constraints combine to affect a given area — so you can be confident you're not designing a project that would fail your predefined restrictions. You can switch between the constraint profiles you and your team have created, letting you test multiple combinations of constraints in seconds.  
  
![](https://cdn-assets.productfruits.com/827b2aaa-80a9-407d-b31c-d40f30e91118)

  

### Relevant Layers: Make sure you haven't forgotten any important layers

*Date: April 27. 2026.*  
*Change size:* *#Medium*

When viewing the layers on the map, click the **"In view"** tab to see every layer with any geometry overlapping the area you're currently viewing. This means you can be confident you've checked all the layers that intersect your site — even ones you haven't added to your favourites.

![](https://cdn-assets.productfruits.com/85dafbab-3ae7-47a7-8b54-68a428e2341d)

We've also added a quick-view option. Hold **Shift** while hovering over a layer in the list to turn that layer on and all others off, so you can view a single layer in isolation without manually toggling the rest. This lets you evaluate dozens of layers in seconds.

![](https://cdn-assets.productfruits.com/9bd10c30-f7c4-4115-8b97-fc6cfe2923f7)

  

### Hybrid Analysis: Evaluate PV-BESS Hybrid sites in Glint Solar

*Date: April 14. 2026.*  
*Change size:* *#Large*

Design a hybrid PV-BESS site in Glint Solar. Configure your BESS dispatching to allow for batteries to charge from curtailed PV production, or from the grid. Understand how both systems interact together.

## March 2026

### Multiple PV layouts: Configure different PV areas in one Design

*Date: March 3. 2026.*  
*Change size:* *#Medium*

We've heard this one for a while, and it's finally here! You can now configure different PV layouts for different zones within a single PV analysis. Each polygon in your project can have its own row spacing, tilt, azimuth, etc. making it easier to model agri-PV sites with varying crop requirements or complex geometries where azimuth varies by zone. The result is more accurate yield calculations and financial projections, without the workaround of running separate analyses per zone.![](https://cdn-assets.productfruits.com/362b0572-b1bf-4a15-8c08-a994f4056e99)
