Which might suit you
Framed as requirements, not a verdict. Both descriptions come from the same data.
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.
Full Meteonorm 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.
