The Solo Moat
Choose Solo over generic pitch decks if your goal is proposal-driven sales velocity and industrial-grade high-resolution imagery for field reps. It is specifically built for door-to-door and high-volume residential closing teams.
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.
