Comparing solar software?
Start with what happens after the sale.
Most solar tools design the system and send the proposal. Powerlily keeps going: CRM, invoicing, the client portal, crew work and fleet monitoring on the same record, with unlimited users and branches on every plan.
Fair comparisons, with sources.
Each page opens with what the other product does well, then where Powerlily differs. Every competitor fact comes from that vendor’s own pricing or product pages, linked on the page with the date we checked them.
Powerlily vs Aurora Solar
Aurora Solar is a respected design and sales tool, priced per user. Powerlily starts in the same place, with 3D design and proposals, then carries the signed job into the CRM, invoicing, client portal and fleet monitoring your team uses after the sale, on one company subscription.
Powerlily vs OpenSolar
OpenSolar gives installers a free design, proposal and project platform funded by hardware, finance and service partners. Powerlily is a subscription your company pays for, so the platform answers to you, and it keeps going after the sale into the client portal, crew scheduling and multi-brand fleet monitoring.
Powerlily vs Solargraf
Solargraf, from Enphase, is a design, proposal and permitting platform sold on annual plans with set user and project allowances. Powerlily includes unlimited users and branches on every plan, stays independent of any equipment maker, and carries the job through the client portal, multi-brand fleet monitoring and Lilypad in the field.
Powerlily vs building it yourself
AI coding tools make a quick demo. Premium imagery contracts, parcel data, electrical engineering, a 3D engine and years of upkeep make the real bill.
How each one charges.
One subscription covers the company. Unlimited users and branches on every plan, unlimited self-serve quotes from Essentials, and no per-seat, per-location or per-project fee. See Powerlily pricing ↗

Another platform
A different tool. The same walkthrough.
Bring your current setup to a demo: a design tool, proposal software, a general CRM or all three held together with exports. We walk one job through the same steps in Powerlily, from design and proposal to signature, installation and aftercare, so you can see where the re-keying stops.
- Unlimited users and branches
- On every plan. No per-seat, per-location, per-project or per-system fees.
- One record
- The lead, design, proposal, invoice, crew schedule and installed system share one customer record. Nothing is re-keyed between tools.
- Guided onboarding
- Included on every plan. Standard adds priority support, and Pro adds weekly training and a dedicated account manager.
See it with your own projects.
Bring one of your own jobs. We follow it from design to signature, install and monitoring, then put your current software bill beside one company subscription. Every plan starts with expert-design credits.
