Frequently asked

Common questions about switching

Everything teams ask before moving from legacy tools.

PVSyst is the gold standard for detailed energy yield simulation, especially for large utility-scale projects. Solar Ladder's design engine covers the needs of residential and commercial installers with satellite-based 3D design, shading analysis, and automated yield reports — and goes far beyond by integrating proposals, CRM, project management, O&M, and RMS monitoring in one platform.

Solar Ladder handles residential and commercial projects with full end-to-end workflows. For utility-scale projects that require bankable simulation reports, PVSyst remains the specialist tool — but Solar Ladder can handle all the business operations around those projects that PVSyst simply cannot.

None at all. Solar Ladder has no caps on projects, kW capacity, or proposals. PVSyst charges an annual licence with limited activations — Solar Ladder's pricing doesn't scale against your output.

The RMS (Remote Monitoring System) dashboard lets you track generation output across every plant you've installed — all from one screen. Spot underperforming sites, share reports with clients, and stay on top of your entire installed base. PVSyst has no equivalent feature.

Yes — Solar Ladder includes a dedicated solar O&M module for managing service tickets, AMC schedules, and maintenance history across your installed base. PVSyst ends at simulation; Solar Ladder stays with you for the full lifecycle of every plant.

PVSyst charges an annual licence of €1,500+ (approximately ₹1,40,000+/year) for simulation only. Solar Ladder is priced in INR and covers your entire business — design, CRM, proposals, project management, O&M, and RMS — with no hidden fees and no usage caps.
