Best Software to design solar pv systems for residential and commercial clients
we are happy with the software
PROSEasy to use Quite descriptive Detailed Attractive Easy for clients to understand Graphical representation is amazing
CONSThere should not be extra cost to send the quote to clients once you use 50 credits for a project
Reasons for switching to Pylon
Hard to use and not very descriptive
Vendor Response
Hi Manoj Thank you for leaving us a review! We have taken your feedback on board regarding the extra cost and will discuss it with the team. The extra cost (10 credits) is for the embedded eSignatures, which we have seen increase conversion rates significantly. Please let us know if you have any further feedback. It is great to have you as a Pylon user.

Great solar program
Solar layout tool is really easy to use and the final printout shows the predicted energy production.
CONSRemembering my own passwords and Paying for the product
Vendor Response
Hi Jason, thank you for your review! It is great having you as a Pylon user :) For password management, we love and use bitwarden.com at Pylon. Highly recommend. And regarding payments, our low $4 per project model ensures you only pay for what you need, but if you find yourself running out of credits, you can auto-recharge your account so you never have to think about it again! It is great having you as a Pylon user :) Please reach out to us if we can help you with anything.

Great starter product
Simple and very easy to navigate
PROSThe ease of use and being able to set pricing up so easy for small business that design and install the systems.
CONSIt would be great if on the design page you could indicate where the inverter will be located, possibly same as the cabling run to assist with the manual you are required to give here in Australia. Also (I haven’t fully looked into it yet) having the ability to upload a manual template and then when the panels and inverter are selected the documents required are automatically uploaded and possibly the same for other components used as well. Needs more training videos etc on how to work through every little aspect
Reason for choosing Pylon
I noticed a few other companies using this program so I figured something must be going right.
Reasons for switching to Pylon
Open Solar seemed to be a bit complicated trying to setup the system.
Vendor Response
Hi Shane - thank you for leaving us a detailed review! You CAN specify the Inverter location. In the design studio, select the Annotations Tool (second up from bottom), then drag the inverter location to your design. Regarding your idea for a manual template - you're right, we haven't yet added this as a feature, but please if you can create a feature request we may work on it and release it for you! :) https://app.getpylon.com/feedback/features We are always working to create more help resources. Thank you for highlighting that need for us. It's great having you as a Pylon user :)
