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 Solcast if…
- you need it to connect to tools you already run (5 named)
- you work at utility scale
- your work is mostly residential
It is for whoever is *building* the thing an installer uses: a design tool, a monitoring platform, a trading desk, a grid operator, a resource analyst automating yield studies. It is not a tool a solar installer sits in front of. There is no drawing canvas, no proposal, no customer-facing output. If you are comparing Solcast against a design tool, you have made a category error.
