Which might suit you
Framed as requirements, not a verdict. Both descriptions come from the same data.
Consider Enact if…
- AI-assisted workflows matter to you
- you work at utility scale
- your work is mostly residential
Installers who want one vendor for sales design, permit-grade engineering and post-install monitoring, and who will pay for those as three separate line items. It is not a single unified product: the "end-to-end platform" announced in January 2026 is, as sold on 2026-09-25, three priced modules — one of which still lives on a separate domain under a separate brand, with its own pricing pages that disagree with Enact's.

Full Enact profileConsider PV*SOL premium if…
- you need a price you can plan against before talking to sales
- you need it to connect to tools you already run (20 named)
- you are comfortable with desktop software and its constraints
- your work is mostly residential
For European installers, planners, roofers and energy consultants doing residential and commercial rooftop work where realistic 3D shading, battery/EV/heat-pump self-consumption and a presentable customer report matter. Not for utility-scale ground-mount engineering (the published ceiling is 7,500 mounted / 10,000 roof-parallel modules), not for macOS, and not for anyone needing a cloud or multi-user workspace.
