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 UtilityAPI 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 a specific customer's *real* consumption with that customer's consent — a proposal tool sizing a system, a financier underwriting a PPA, a storage developer modelling demand charges, a programme administrator qualifying a rebate. It is not a tariff engine, not a rate calculator, and not a solar tool. It will tell you exactly what a customer used and was billed; it will not tell you what a different rate would have cost them.
