Which might suit you
Framed as requirements, not a verdict. Both descriptions come from the same data.
Consider Solargis Prospect if…
- you work at utility scale
It is for a developer or resource analyst deciding *which* of several sites to take further, in any country, and who wants Solargis-grade data at the screening stage so the numbers stay consistent all the way to financing. It is not an energy-yield or design tool: Prospect works on monthly averages and 24×12 profiles, not hourly or 15-minute time series — if you need a bankable simulation you need Solargis Evaluate, which is a separate product at a separate price.
Full Solargis Prospect profileConsider 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.
