V3 Release Notes + Reflections from the Product Team

I'm Juan David and I work on the product here at Popular Power. In tandem with sharing our V3 Release Notes, I wanted to share a bit my personal perspective on our recent V3 launch, because a lot of passion and discipline goes into the features we launch. We want our customers & community to hear from the actual people building our product.

When I think about V3, one of the biggest challenges was figuring out how to create a Site Health rating that was actually meaningful. It wasn’t just about picking a number from 1 to 5. The real work was in analyzing how two different indicators should relate to each other: climate-adjusted performance and performance versus target.

We spent weeks testing thresholds, debating what cutoffs would make sense, and making sure the end result would give customers a rating they could truly trust to guide decisions. I’ll never forget the first time I loaded a full customer portfolio and saw every site neatly classified by Site Health. For me, that was the moment it all clicked: months of data debates and analysis finally made sense. And then came the bigger “wow” moment, realizing that once you combine Site Health with global filters, you suddenly have a really useful dashboard. That wasn’t even the original intention but it turned into one of the most powerful aspects of V3. That’s why I’m so proud of this release. V3 transforms overwhelming energy data into something simple, collaborative, and actionable. It reflects the passion of our team and the real-world challenges of our customers. I can’t wait for you to explore it and see what you discover.

With that, I leave you our V3 Release Notes!

New Performance Metrics

V3 introduces a redesigned performance metrics system that gives you a more reliable, contextual, and actionable view of how your assets are performing.

Three Key Metrics

Contract Year Progress

See what percentage of the contractual year has elapsed for each site based on its activation date. This helps you understand where each site stands in its contract cycle and how its performance compares to expectations at that stage.

Performance vs. Target (CTD)

Track how each site is performing against its contractual generation targets.

• Adjusts dynamically to each site’s contract year

• Starts on the site’s operational date and resets every 12 months for clean, consistent comparisons

Performance vs. Weather (Last 60 Days)

Evaluate how a site has performed over the past 60 days while factoring in actual weather conditions. This makes it easier to distinguish asset issues from external factors like irradiance or climate.

Why they matter:

• More confidence in your data: less noise, more clarity

• Metrics that reflect real contractual and operational performance

• Better, faster decision-making with richer context

Site Health Indicator

V3 introduces Site Health, a single 1-to-5 rating that summarizes the overall status of each site. The rating combines performance and data quality signals to help you focus where it matters most.

How it works:

• 1–5 rating: From Urgent Review (1) to Optimal (5)

• Clear messages: Each rating includes a main message and supporting note explaining the status and suggested action

• Automatic flags: Sites with missing key data (e.g., start date, capacity, incomplete records) are automatically flagged with Rating 1: Urgent Review

Benefits

• Prioritized visibility: Instantly see which sites need attention

• Clarity: Distinguish between Optimal, Optimizable, and Underperforming sites at a glance

• Actionable guidance: Each rating includes a clear next step, such as “Monitor closely,” “Review targets,” or “Plan recovery”

Enterprise Advantage

For sites without weather data, ratings go up to 4/5. With Enterprise, you can unlock full 5/5 ratings through advanced weather analysis.

Why it matters:

• A single, trusted signal for each site’s health

• Actionable context behind every rating

• Smarter prioritization of time and resources

Global Filter

The new Global Filter lets you apply filters across your entire portfolio, instantly updating the Sites table. You can explore your portfolio from different angles, create tailored views, and make comparisons faster.

Available filters:

• Performance vs. Target (CTD)

• Installed Capacity

• Site Status

• Responsible User (visible in a new column)

• Inverter Brand

• Tags (custom or predefined)

• Pricing Model

Benefits

• Flexible views: Combine filters to tailor how you explore your portfolio

• Faster exploration: Switch perspectives with just a few clicks

• Transparency: If no sites match, you’ll see a clear empty-state message

Example Use Cases

• Focus on key customers: tag your most important customer and instantly see which of their sites are off track

• Get ahead of issues: sort by Contract Year Progress to spot sites that need action

• Report to investors: filter by investor to analyze portfolio performance over the last month

• Optimize daily ops: combine filters like status and inverter brand to identify performance patterns
