Scanifly announced an integration with Energy Toolbase (ETB), a provider of software for energy project modeling and financial analysis. This strategic partnership streamlines the solar project lifecycle, from initial customer quotes and remote design tools to detailed site assessments, accurate PV layouts, technical documentation, installation and ongoing monitoring.
The combination of ETB and Scanifly drives operational efficiency throughout the life cycle of a solar project, eliminating duplication and manual data entry between disparate systems. Solar developers can leverage ETB Developer’s extensive financial and energy modeling capabilities, including custom rate schedules, utility forecasts and storage simulations, in coordination with Scanifly’s easy-to-use preliminary design software, which includes various satellite imagery, LiDAR and Nearmap data and a robust PV design suite in one environment.
By connecting Scanify to ETB, solar developers accelerate sales and operational workflows without compromising accuracy.
The integration also centralizes end-to-end sales, design and operations processes for contractors. In addition to Scanifly’s remote design product used for initial proposals, solar developers can leverage its drone-based 3D modeling platform, mobile field app and affordable shade analysis for site assessments and final system designs. Scanify partners reduce research and design time by up to 90% compared to manual research and design methods, while dealing with zero change orders or revisions on installation day. By connecting ETB and Scanifly, solar contractors now have faster, more accurate and cost-effective sales and operations workflows than expensive incumbents.
“These two platforms give us a competitive advantage and have been critical to the growth of our business. Combining the design and layout accuracy of Scanifly with the utility and financial analyzes of Energy Toolbase is a match made in Heaven,” said Todd Lindquist, Key Account Technical Supervisor at Eagle Point Solar.
ETB’s leadership in commercial solar project development is reflected by Scanifly’s continued feature releases for this asset class, including inverter modeling, AI-enabled obstacle detection, dual tilt layouts, stringing and electrical analysis, and machine learning 3D photogrammetry improvements.
“While we have historically focused on the residential business, our growing relationship with ETB provides a path to offering a seamless process for sales teams and reinforces our increasing investments in C&I-specific functions,” said Jason Steinberg, CEO of Scanifly .
Uniting Energy Toolbase and Scanifly are setting a new standard in the solar energy sector. This integration combines advanced technology for PV design and field operations with powerful financial modeling and project estimation capabilities. Together, the two companies streamline the entire project lifecycle, from inception to monitoring.
