The SunTrace3D Moat
SunTrace3D is the Gold Standard for Stage 2 installers who prioritize real-time 3d photorealism.
The Sunvoy Moat
Choose Sunvoy over basic admin portals if you require integrated fleet-wide monitoring and O&M automation. It is specifically built for installers protecting long-term margins by automating the warranty-claims and field-service triggers that kill profitability.
Operational Friction: Switching from SunTrace3D to Sunvoy requires adjusting CAD-level shading accuracy tolerances and recalibrating NBT ROI modeling for NEM 3.0 compliance.
