Alternatives
Solset AI alternatives
Solset AI is one record for a solar job, from the first enquiry through design, quotation, procurement, installation, invoicing and service, priced per workspace. That breadth is the point, and it is not right for everyone.

Here is who else to look at, and when they are the better fit. Each is described from its own website.
When Solset AI is the right choice
- You design, buy, install and invoice the system yourself, and retyping between tools is where time goes
- You want structure, SLD and the bill of materials from the same design that prices the quotation
- You work outside the US, or in several countries, and want local tax, currency and units
- You prefer one price for the company over a price per seat
