Detailed Review
Eturnity is built around the idea that an installer should draw a roof once and reuse that model everywhere. The same project model produces the roof plan, the string plan and the single-line diagram, and it also feeds the customer quote with 3D visuals, costs and savings.
The company is registered in Chur (Switzerland) and states 13 years of industry experience and more than 2,500 renewable energy professionals using the software. The site is offered in English, German, French and Italian for several national markets.
Design Without Duplicate Work
The 3D site modeller works from satellite imagery, orthophotos, LiDAR data or drone-based models. Shading assessment, layout and the sizing of inverters, batteries and strings happen before anyone visits the roof.
Roof plans, string plans and single-line diagrams come out of the same model, so a change to the layout does not mean redrawing documents by hand.
Quotes and Distributor Links
Quotes can be sent online or as PDF with savings, costs and benefits. Eturnity lists price and catalogue synchronisation with distributors such as Krannich, Solarmarkt and Solexis in Switzerland, Tepto in Germany, UK Greentech in the UK and Aprilice in Sweden, with one-click ordering.
Project designs can be passed to mounting system software including K2, Solar.Pro Tool, Novotegra, Clenergy and GSE, which avoids retyping the roof geometry.
Permits and Project Flow
Permitting and other administrative documents can be filled from existing project data. Configurable workflows, reminders and phase checklists move a project from sales to the delivery team.
Residential and commercial and industrial projects are both covered, with load profiles per building type.
Limitations to Consider
Prices are not published on the pages we checked, so budgeting needs a trial or a conversation. The distributor price sync covers only the distributors Eturnity names, mostly in Switzerland and Germany, with single entries for the UK and Sweden. It is a workflow platform rather than a yield-bankability tool; for bankable energy reports see PVsyst.
Who Should Use Eturnity
Small and mid-sized installers in German-speaking and nearby markets that sell PV with storage, heat pumps or charging and want quote, design and project handover in one system.
