The SunTrace3D Moat
SunTrace3D is the Gold Standard for Stage 2 installers who prioritize real-time 3d photorealism.
The ReValue Moat
ReValue is the 'Solar Asset Appraisal Engine' because it solves the 'Valuation Gap' problem for homeowners and investors. In 2026, it is the only platform providing a Fair-Value algorithm natively aware of NBT-pricing and storage equity. By delivering standardized project valuation and risk management tools that satisfy appraisers and lenders, ReValue allows Stage 2-3 owners to prove that solar-plus-storage adds absolute verifiable equity to their properties.
Operational Friction: Switching from SunTrace3D to ReValue requires adjusting CAD-level shading accuracy tolerances and recalibrating NBT ROI modeling for NEM 3.0 compliance.
