Which might suit you
Framed as requirements, not a verdict. Both descriptions come from the same data.
Consider Easy PV if…
- you need a price you can plan against before talking to sales
- you want to start without a budget approval
- your work is mostly residential
UK residential and light-commercial installers who already buy from Midsummer, need MCS-compliant self-consumption modelling and structural/wind-loading numbers, and want DNO paperwork handled in the same place as the design. It is not for anyone outside the UK — MCS, DNO and the Midsummer trade account are the whole point — and the free tier's commercial logic should be read plainly: the software is free because the distributor is selling the hardware.

Full Easy PV profileConsider Solargis Evaluate if…
- you need a price you can plan against before talking to sales
- you work at utility scale
For utility-scale developers, engineers and IEs who are already buying Solargis data and want the design and simulation layer on top of it, with reports investors accept. Not for residential or rooftop sales work, not for anyone needing CAD/construction deliverables, and not for small teams — the published entry subscription is €12,000 and the project allowance is 60 "Early Stage" projects.
