Which might suit you

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

Consider PVcase Prospect if…

  • you work at utility scale

It is for development teams originating US greenfield sites at portfolio scale who need to kill bad land before they spend money on it. It is not for a residential or small-commercial installer, and — on the evidence of the pricing matrix — it is not for anyone outside the United States who needs the premium layers, because zoning, parcel, pipeline, fiber, distribution-grid and LMP coverage are all described as nationwide US datasets.

Consider Transect if…

  • you work at utility scale

It is for a US developer or EPC who keeps paying consultants for desktop environmental reports on sites that turn out to be unbuildable. It is not a solar-only product, it is not available outside the 48 contiguous states, and it is not a resource or yield tool — Transect will tell you that a site has an endangered bat and a 500-foot setback ordinance, and nothing at all about how much sun falls on it.
