Pylon March 2026 Update

We’ve had a massive start to 2026! Here’s what’s new since our January update:

Let’s dive in!


Battery Recommender

Finding the optimal battery size just got a whole lot easier. Our new Battery Recommender analyses your customer’s usage data and simulates hundreds of scenarios to help find the best battery size for their home. Take the guesswork out of battery designs!


Features include:

  • Optimal solar and battery size heat map
  • One-click “Apply Battery” button to add the recommended size to your design
  • Simulate by battery series
  • Panel target display while placing panels

Feed-in kWh from Existing Solar

You can now have the ability to input kWh of feed-in into Current bills. This new feature should improve calculated savings for Battery Projects with Existing Solar.

Quickly see which projects are hitting margin targets.

CRM Automations

We’ve supercharged CRM Automations with new Triggers, Actions, and smarter workflows.

New Triggers

  • “Anyone” trigger actor — trigger on any user’s actions, not just specific users
  • Lead source suggestions — auto-suggest from your team’s existing lead sources

New Actions

  • Move-up-to Pipeline Stage — progress deals up-to but not past a certain Pipeline Stage
  • Start Workflow — chain automations together for complex workflows
  • Auto-mark Deal as Sold — moving to a “Sold” stage now updates the deal status

Workflow Improvements

  • Duplicate Automation button — clone existing automations with one click
  • Warning & Bypass system — get warned when automation actions may conflict

28Watt Finance

28Watt is now available as a finance broker in Pylon. Australian installers can offer 28Watt financing directly from proposals, with full support for terms, rates, and repayment calculations.
