Which might suit you
Framed as requirements, not a verdict. Both descriptions come from the same data.
Consider DNV SolarFarmer if…
- you are comfortable with desktop software and its constraints
- you work at utility scale
For yield engineers and IEs at developers, lenders and EPCs who want a model backed by an assurance firm's operational dataset and are comfortable in a scripted desktop tool. Not for rooftop, residential or C&I sales work, not for macOS, and not for anyone who needs to see a price before talking to someone — the "View pricing" link leads to a JavaScript storefront that serves no product content to a non-JS reader.
Full DNV SolarFarmer profileConsider Reslink Energy if…
- you need a price you can plan against before talking to sales
- your systems fit within 100 kW / 500 kW / 5 MW / 100 MW
- your work is mostly residential
Indian rooftop and C&I EPCs whose sales reps carry a phone rather than a laptop and who want the design, BOM and proposal produced on the roof. It is not for anyone who needs a price they can rely on before they call sales: the same site publishes four mutually incompatible price schedules, in two currencies, on two billing periods, with two different sets of plan names — and a fifth figure appears on its Capterra listing.
