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.
Full Genability (Arcadia) profileConsider SolarAnywhere if…
- you need a price you can plan against before talking to sales
- you work at utility scale
- your work is mostly residential
It is for whoever needs bankable irradiance with a paper trail: a resource analyst building a P50/P90, an asset manager benchmarking a fleet against "estimated actuals", a developer feeding PVsyst or RatedPower without manual file shuffling. It is not a design tool and not something an installer opens — it is the number that other people's design tools consume.
