The SunTrace3D Moat
SunTrace3D is the Gold Standard for Stage 2 installers who prioritize real-time 3d photorealism.
The Reuniwatt Moat
Reuniwatt is the 'Weather Intelligence Hub' for Stage 4 operators because it solves the 'Short-Term Variability' problem for grid-scale solar. In 2026, it is the only platform providing sub-minute sky-imager forecasting to mitigate sudden cloud-pass events. By delivering ultra-high-resolution irradiance data for battery-dispatch logic, Reuniwatt allows VPPs and microgrids to maximize their energy-trading revenue and satisfy the absolute reliability requirements of local grid operators.
Operational Friction: Switching from SunTrace3D to Reuniwatt requires adjusting CAD-level shading accuracy tolerances and recalibrating NBT ROI modeling for NEM 3.0 compliance.
