April 2026 focused on getting customer data into Solar Proof faster and capturing more enquiries. This release sped up the journey from a customer's power bill to an accurate solar quote, added a smarter way to collect and route leads, and tightened sign-up security. Here's everything that shipped in the April update, grouped by area, with what each change means for your solar business.
What changed in the Solar Proof April 2026 update?
In short: a major Magic Power Bill upgrade plus a new interval-data upload wizard and free interval-data tool, a self-serve registration flow and a new Quote Requests system for leads, improved multi-inverter design and brand pages, and Turnstile anti-spam protection on demo requests. Each is detailed below.
How is customer bill and energy data captured faster?
- Magic Power Bill upgrade — the bill reader now extracts tariffs, usage and rates from a customer's PDF power bill more accurately and with less clean-up. Turn a power bill into an accurate quote with far less manual entry. See how it works in Magic Power Bill: get accurate energy rates from a PDF power bill.
- New interval-data upload wizard — a guided, step-by-step flow walks you through uploading and mapping a customer's interval (smart meter) data so it's ready to use in seconds. No more wrestling with raw data files. Learn more in how to get interval data for solar customers.
- Free interval-data tool & improved parsing — a free interval-data report tool lets you visualise a customer's consumption instantly, and the underlying parser now handles more meter formats reliably. Cleaner, more accurate consumption data feeding every quote. Details in how Solar Proof interprets interval data files.
How does Solar Proof capture and route more enquiries?
- Self-serve registration — new customers and partners can register themselves, reducing manual onboarding and getting them into the system faster. Less admin, faster starts.
- New Quote Requests system — incoming quote enquiries are now captured, organised and routed in one place so nothing slips through the cracks. Capture, route and respond to more enquiries from a single inbox. See why this matters in how to get more solar leads and win more sales and how lead response time affects outcomes.
- Product-enquiry fixes — product enquiry forms now submit and notify reliably, so customer interest reaches your team every time.
What design and product improvements were made?
- Improved multi-inverter selection — designing systems with more than one inverter is now smoother and clearer, making complex and larger installations easier to specify. Faster, more accurate designs for bigger jobs. Related: auto stringing for compliant string design and combining PV array groups.
- Brand page creation — create dedicated brand pages to present manufacturers and products professionally within your proposals. More polished, on-brand presentations.
- Imagery-system fix — a correction to the aerial imagery system means roof imagery loads and renders reliably for site design. Dependable imagery every time you design. Background in differences in aerial imagery quality.
What security and trust improvements shipped?
- Turnstile anti-spam on demo requests and a rotated security key — demo request forms are now protected by Cloudflare Turnstile, blocking bot submissions, and a key rotation keeps your account data secure. Less spam and safer sign-ups.
