Which might suit you

Framed as requirements, not a verdict. Both descriptions come from the same data.

Consider Genability (Arcadia) if…

  • you work at utility scale
  • your work is mostly residential

It is for whoever is *building* a bill-savings calculation: a proposal tool, a bill-audit product, an EV-charging siting model, a corporate energy team. It is not something a solar installer buys or opens. If an installer's proposal shows a 22-year payback and the number looks wrong, this is one of the two layers to interrogate.

Consider Meteonorm if…

  • you work at utility scale
  • your work is mostly residential

It is for whoever needs the weather file that goes *into* a simulation: an engineer running PVsyst, a building physicist running IDA ICE, a developer automating TMY generation across a pipeline. It is not a design tool, not a proposal tool, and — crucially for anyone reading an old comparison — no longer primarily a perpetual-licence desktop program.
