  • They diverge on capability: Aurora Solar covers 3D solar design, P2 Energy Solutions covers Land management.

Aurora Solar

  • Projects are capped at 50 a month on both Basic and Premium, so the tiers differ on features rather than volume
  • LIDAR assisted modelling, shade reports and battery storage modelling all require Premium at $259 a month
  • API access and integrations are Enterprise only, which is priced per project rather than per month
  • Paying monthly rather than annually costs $288 more a year on Basic and $468 on Premium

P2 Energy Solutions

  • Now sold as part of IFS rather than as an independent vendor; p2energysolutions.com redirects into the IFS site
  • Pricing is not published
  • Scoped to upstream oil and gas rather than energy generally
