2The verdict
Build it yourself, years Build
First trusted number in months. Until then your fleet runs blind.
Then every year, forever, just to keep it alive.
enSights, years Buy
Live tomorrow. Every brand, every module, already in production for 160+ companies.
3The iceberg
Above the water · what you imagine
A report. A graph. Maybe an alert.
An afternoon with Claude and a SolarEdge CSV. It demos beautifully.
Below the water · what you actually run
4Side by side
| Build it | enSights | |
|---|---|---|
| Time to first trusted number | 1 day | |
| One-time build (year 1) | $0 | |
| Every year after: maintenance, cloud, devops, breakage | ||
| People who can fix it when it breaks | 1 | an R&D team |
| Inverter brands covered | 26 | |
5Why one platform is cheaper than 160 home-built ones
30+services running in production on AWS, across 3 availability zones
26inverter, meter and battery brands integrated and maintained
6databases, each managed, encrypted, backed up for 365 days
$0.15–0.26our data cost per asset per month, because thousands of sites share the fixed cost
When you build alone, you pay the whole fixed cost: the cloud account, the on-call person, the backups nobody uses until the day they do. When you buy, that cost is split across every customer. That is the only reason software like this is affordable at all.
