Which might suit you
Framed as requirements, not a verdict. Both descriptions come from the same data.
Consider RatedPower (pvDesign) if…
- AI-assisted workflows matter to you
- you work at utility scale
For developers, IPPs, EPCs and engineering firms who need to iterate hundreds of utility-scale layouts and carry them through to interconnection and off-taker-ready detailed engineering. Not for anyone who needs a published price (all three tiers are "Talk to sales"), not for rooftop or residential, and not for buyers who need site prospecting outside the specific geographies where Enverus PRISM International data is licensed.
Full RatedPower (pvDesign) profileConsider Solargis Evaluate if…
- you need a price you can plan against before talking to sales
- you work at utility scale
For utility-scale developers, engineers and IEs who are already buying Solargis data and want the design and simulation layer on top of it, with reports investors accept. Not for residential or rooftop sales work, not for anyone needing CAD/construction deliverables, and not for small teams — the published entry subscription is €12,000 and the project allowance is 60 "Early Stage" projects.
