Lyra Platform Updates: June 22

Flexibility

Design files can now be uploaded and included in the permit package. Design files are documents such as equipment elevation drawings, array elevation drawings/details, load calculations, panel upgrade details, equipment datasheets, or other certifications that Lyra may not include automatically but are required by your AHJ. These files are project-specific and will only appear in the project to which you upload them.

Speed

We've added a number of API integrations to make generating permit packages even faster.

1. The utility company will automatically be selected when creating the project.
2. The AHJ will automatically be selected when creating the project.
3. We've partnered with Ironridge to automatically populate the maximum rail spans for projects that use Ironridge mounting. Previously this feature was available to projects using ASCE 7-16, but we’ve expanded it to include ASCE 7-10.
