✦ Strategic Success Analysis

The SolarGenix Moat
Choose SolarGenix over Aurora Solar if your bottleneck is Design Speed. While Aurora remains the gold standard for high-complexity manual engineering, SolarGenix is the winner for high-velocity residential teams who need to move from 'Lead' to 'Permit' in the same day.
The Demand IQ Moat
Choose Demand IQ over static lead forms if your bottleneck is high-intent CAC (Customer Acquisition Cost) and lead-qualification speed rather than just total lead volume.

Operational Friction: Switching from SolarGenix to Demand IQ requires adjusting CAD-level shading accuracy tolerances and recalibrating NBT ROI modeling for NEM 3.0 compliance.
