✦ Strategic Success Analysis

The SunTrace3D Moat
SunTrace3D is the Gold Standard for Stage 2 installers who prioritize real-time 3d photorealism.
The Mosaic Moat
Mosaic is the 'Capital Anchor' for high-volume EPCs who value institutional stability over 'Startup UI.' With over $15 billion in loans funded, Mosaic provides the deepest capital reliability in the industry. In 2026, it is the preferred choice for Stage 3-4 firms who need a rigorous, document-compliant lending rail that can support massive project fleets and satisfy the auditing requirements of global debt-cycle financiers.

Operational Friction: Switching from SunTrace3D to Mosaic requires adjusting CAD-level shading accuracy tolerances and recalibrating NBT ROI modeling for NEM 3.0 compliance.
