Searching for the best solar software in Poland in 2026 tends to happen for a different reason than it did in 2021. Back then the question was how to design and quote faster, because the phone would not stop ringing. Now the question is how to run a business with two thousand systems in the ground, a service inbox nobody owns, margins that no longer forgive a wasted truck roll, and a settlement model where the customer’s savings depend on what hour of the day the array exports. Polish installers who are still shopping only for design software are solving the 2021 problem. Our ranking puts SurgePV first at roughly PLN 4,700 (US$1,299) per user per year on the 5-User Team plan because it consolidates design, simulation and net-billing proposals into one licence, but six of the ten entries below are not design tools at all, and that is the point.
Direct answer. The best solar software in Poland for 2026 is SurgePV at about PLN 4,700 per user per year on the 5-User Team plan (roughly PLN 23,500 for five seats), covering 3D design, 8,760-hour simulation, hourly net-billing settlement modelling and PN-HD 60364 labelled drawings. It does not do monitoring, CRM, service management or KSeF invoicing, so a Polish installer typically pairs it with the inverter brand’s monitoring portal and a Polish accounting product such as Comarch ERP Optima.
This is the stack view. If you only need the engineering tool, the best solar design software in Poland ranking goes deeper on standards, operators and layout workflow. If the closing document is the problem, the best solar proposal software in Poland guide covers the RCE price, the prosumer deposit and the grant stack. Read this one if you are deciding what the whole toolset looks like, what it should cost in złoty, and which layer to buy next.
The Six Layers of a Polish Solar Software Stack
Naming the six layers separately is the fastest way to see where a Polish installer is actually losing money.
Design and simulation is layout, string configuration, shading and hourly yield. Proposals is the customer document with net-billing settlement, the prosumer deposit and the grant stack. Monitoring is production and consumption data, and in Poland it is not a passive layer any more. Home energy management is the newer layer: shifting consumption into the hours when self-use beats exporting, and controlling a heat pump or a boiler from surplus generation. CRM and sales is pipeline, canvassing, quotes and the follow-up that a slower market now requires. O&M, service and ERP is the last layer and the one that grows every single year: warranty visits, faults, inspections, grant paperwork and the invoicing that KSeF now governs.
Poland is unusual because layer three and layer four carry real financial weight for the customer, not just operational weight for you. Since the net-billing change, exported energy is settled against market prices rather than swapped one for one against imports, and market prices are lowest in exactly the midday hours when a south-facing Polish array exports hardest. A kilowatt-hour consumed on site is therefore worth substantially more than a kilowatt-hour exported. That single fact converts monitoring and consumption shifting from cosmetic features into the mechanism that makes the payback in your proposal come true. The settlement rules are published by the Polish energy regulator, the Urząd Regulacji Energetyki.
💡 Fast tip
Count your service and warranty visits from last month against your new installs. If service is more than a third of your crew hours, your next licence is O&M software, not design software.

This is our own framework and it exists because Polish installers keep buying for the growth phase they are no longer in. The Service Ratio Test starts with one number: service and warranty hours divided by total crew hours over the last quarter. Under 15 per cent, buy for sales and design. Between 15 and 35 per cent, buy monitoring and service management next. Above 35 per cent, you are an O&M business that also sells installs, and your tooling should say so.
Then score each platform, one point per layer covered to a professional Polish standard, weighted by Polish depth: net-billing and hourly RCE handling, grant awareness, operator documentation, PN-HD 60364 labelling, Polish-language output and KSeF readiness.
- Design and simulation producing layout and hourly yield you can defend.
- Proposals with hourly net-billing settlement, the prosumer deposit and the grant stack.
- Monitoring with production, consumption and alerting.
- Home energy management with load shifting and heat source control.
- CRM and sales with pipeline, quoting and follow-up.
- O&M, service and ERP with tickets, visits, records and compliant invoicing.
Layer coverage out of six: SurgePV 2, Huawei FusionSolar 3, Berg System 1, Comarch ERP Optima 1, Solar-Log 2, Odoo 3, SolarEdge Monitoring and ONE 3, PVsyst 1, Loxone 1, PV*SOL premium 2. Coverage alone does not decide the ranking, because a platform that owns one layer completely is worth more than one that half-covers three.
The Top 10 Solar Software Platforms in Poland
Pricing is 2026, annualised, in złoty. US list prices are converted at roughly PLN 3.6 per US dollar, and euro-priced European tools at roughly PLN 4.3 per euro. Ask for a written złoty quote before signing, because several vendors discount at five seats and above.
1. SurgePV
What it does best. One licence covering design, simulation and the customer document, with the Polish settlement arithmetic done inside the model rather than in a spreadsheet beside it. Enter a Polish address, get an AI-built 3D roof from satellite imagery, place modules, run the 8,760-hour module-level simulation for hourly production, then settle that hourly production against hourly prices rather than assuming a flat credit. That hourly framing is what makes a battery or a heat pump recommendation defensible instead of aspirational, and it produces the PN-HD 60364 labelled single-line diagram from the same model.
Real pricing. About PLN 6,800 (US$1,899) per user per year on Individual, PLN 4,700 (US$1,299) per user per year on the 5-User Team plan, so roughly PLN 23,500 for five seats. Free trial, no credit card.
Who it suits. Polish installers doing five or more projects a month, particularly anyone selling PV with storage or a heat pump attached, where the hourly model is the argument.
Honest limitations. SurgePV covers two of the six layers and no more. There is no monitoring, which in a net-billing market is a serious gap because the ongoing consumption-shifting conversation is where you keep the customer. There is no service or O&M module, no ticketing and no visit scheduling, which is the wrong gap to have in a market this heavy with warranty work. It has no KSeF invoicing and no Polish accounting integration, so your bookkeeping stays elsewhere. It does not fill in PGE, Tauron, Enea, Energa or Stoen connection forms, and it does not generate Mój Prąd or Czyste Powietrze grant paperwork. Polish brand recognition is also thin against PV*SOL, which some Polish technical buyers still treat as the default.
2. Huawei FusionSolar
What it does best. Monitoring plus energy management on hardware that is everywhere in Poland. FusionSolar gives per-plant and per-string production data, alerting, remote diagnostics, an installer fleet view, and the smart energy side that actually matters under net-billing: battery control, load management and heat pump or boiler integration through the smart energy controller. When the goal is to consume the midday surplus rather than export it at a poor price, this is the layer that executes the strategy your proposal promised.
Real pricing. Included with the hardware for standard monitoring and installer fleet tools. Some advanced management features depend on additional Huawei devices rather than on a licence fee.
Who it suits. Any Polish installer with a Huawei-heavy fleet, which is a large share of the residential market, and especially those selling storage and heat pump bundles.
Honest limitations. Hardware locked and useless for the SolarEdge, Fronius, SMA, Sofar or Deye systems in the rest of your portfolio. No design, no proposals, no invoicing, no CRM. Portfolio-level O&M reporting is weaker than a dedicated platform, ticketing is basic, and the energy management features assume you sold the full Huawei chain rather than mixed components.
3. Berg System
What it does best. Polish sales CRM with a real understanding of how Polish PV and finance teams sell. Lead distribution across a call and field team, call scripts, meeting scheduling, offer versioning, commission tracking and consent management under Polish rules. In a market where leads got expensive and close rates fell, the difference between a tracked pipeline and a shared spreadsheet is now visible in monthly revenue.
Real pricing. Commonly PLN 100 to 220 per user per month depending on tier and modules, so roughly PLN 6,000 to PLN 13,200 a year for five users.
Who it suits. Installers with a dedicated sales team, canvassing operations, and anyone paying for leads who cannot currently say which source converts.
Honest limitations. It is a CRM, not a solar tool. No design, no simulation, no yield, no settlement modelling, so the technical offer still comes from elsewhere. It will not do your accounting or your service tickets. And a CRM only helps if the team enters data, which in a small installer with two salespeople is a real adoption risk rather than a theoretical one. The general selection criteria in this solar CRM buyers guide are worth reading before you commit.
4. Comarch ERP Optima
What it does best. Polish accounting and invoicing, from the vendor most Polish accountants already work with. Sales and purchase invoicing, VAT records, JPK files, warehouse, payroll and the KSeF integration that 2026 makes non-optional. Electronic invoicing through the national system stops being a preference this year, with the timetable and technical specification published by the Polish Ministry of Finance tax portal, and this is the layer that has to be compliant on the day.
Real pricing. Roughly PLN 2,000 to PLN 6,000 a year depending on modules and the number of users, with your accountant’s own licence often separate.
Who it suits. Essentially every Polish installer above sole trader scale, because the obligation is not optional and your księgowa will have an opinion about which product.
Honest limitations. Zero solar intelligence. It does not know what kWp means, cannot model yield, cannot produce an offer worth showing a customer and will not manage a service visit. The interface is dense and assumes accounting knowledge. Treat it as infrastructure rather than as a business tool, and never let it become the place your quotes are written.
5. Solar-Log
What it does best. Hardware-agnostic monitoring for the mixed fleet, which is what a Polish installer with five years of history actually has. One datalogger per site collects from almost any inverter brand, and the portal gives portfolio views, performance comparison, alerting, string level analysis and the production evidence that settles a warranty argument. For an installer whose service department is currently logging into five separate manufacturer portals, this is the purchase that returns a day a week.
Real pricing. Typically PLN 400 to PLN 1,600 per site per year depending on plan and data granularity, plus the datalogger hardware per site, which is usually several hundred złoty.
Who it suits. Installers carrying maintenance contracts on commercial roofs, and anyone with a mixed-brand portfolio past roughly a hundred sites.
Honest limitations. Per-site cost adds up quickly and is impossible to justify on small residential systems where the free manufacturer portal is adequate. It requires hardware and a commissioning visit per site, which is fine on new jobs and awkward retrospectively. No design, no proposals, no CRM, no invoicing. And it will not control anything: it observes, it does not shift load.
6. Odoo
What it does best. Holding the service business together. Odoo’s field service, helpdesk, project, inventory, sales and accounting modules share one database, with a Polish localisation covering the Polish chart of accounts and KSeF invoicing. Build a service board where an inverter fault becomes a ticket, the ticket becomes a scheduled visit with the right technician and the right part reserved from stock, and the visit becomes an invoice. For an installer with two thousand systems in the ground, that chain is the whole business.
Real pricing. Odoo publishes its list prices on its own pricing page and prices them per country. The shape is a free single-app tier with unlimited users, then Standard and Custom tiers charged per user per month with a discount for annual billing. Take the current Polish figure from Odoo rather than from a range on a comparison page. Implementation is separate and is usually the larger number.
Who it suits. Installers past ten employees with a genuine service operation and someone internal who can own the configuration.
Honest limitations. It arrives as a kit. Everything described above is something you build, and a half-configured Odoo is worse than a good spreadsheet plus a calendar. It knows nothing about kWp, net-billing or grants. Upgrades can break customisation. Budget for a Polish partner and expect the first three months to be work rather than benefit.
7. SolarEdge Monitoring and SolarEdge ONE
What it does best. Module-level visibility plus energy management on SolarEdge hardware. Optimiser-level data means a shaded or failing module shows up individually rather than as a vague production shortfall, which cuts diagnostic truck rolls sharply. SolarEdge ONE adds the smart energy layer, coordinating battery, EV charging and controllable loads against tariff and export conditions, which is precisely the behaviour net-billing rewards.
Real pricing. Standard monitoring is included with the hardware. Advanced energy management depends on SolarEdge devices such as the home hub inverter and controlled load devices rather than on a separate licence.
Who it suits. Installers standardised on SolarEdge, particularly on shaded Polish roofs where optimisers were the reason for the specification in the first place.
Honest limitations. The same hardware lock. Nothing here helps with the Huawei or Sofar half of your fleet, and mixed portfolios still end up with several portals. No design, no proposals, no CRM, no invoicing. Commercial portfolio and performance guarantee reporting is thinner than Solar-Log or a dedicated O&M platform.
8. PVsyst
What it does best. Bankable simulation. When a Polish bank, an insurer or a technical advisor wants an independent view on a 20 MW farm or a large commercial rooftop, the PVsyst loss diagram is the document named. The shading and loss models survive due diligence in a way sales-tool yield estimates do not.
Real pricing. CHF 700 per user per year for the Professional licence, which is an annual subscription rather than a perpetual licence, roughly PLN 3,150 at CHF 1 to PLN 4.5. Education is CHF 420 and group discounts of 5 to 20 per cent apply by quantity. Five seats come to CHF 3,500, comfortably below five SurgePV seats at PLN 23,500, so on price alone PVsyst wins if simulation is all you need.
Who it suits. Independent engineers, technical due diligence teams and developers producing yield reports for lenders or investors.
Honest limitations. Desktop only, steep learning curve, no proposals, no CRM, no service management, no Polish document templates and nothing about net-billing settlement. It answers how many kilowatt-hours, not what they are worth in a market where the hour matters. Our sister engineering team covers reading its output in their PVsyst resource centre, and the trade-offs sit in our PVsyst alternative guide.
9. Loxone
What it does best. Home energy management as a sold product rather than a feature. Loxone controls heating, hot water, a heat pump, EV charging and general loads from one controller and can drive them from surplus PV generation, which under net-billing directly raises the share of production consumed on site. For a Polish installer whose competitors are all quoting the same panels at the same price, this is a genuine differentiator and a second revenue line on the same roof.
Real pricing. No per-user licence. Hardware and configuration for a typical Polish home run roughly PLN 5,000 to PLN 15,000 installed depending on scope, sold to the customer rather than absorbed as an overhead.
Who it suits. Installers moving up-market into whole-home energy, particularly those already selling heat pumps alongside PV.
Honest limitations. It is not solar software. No design, no proposals, no monitoring of your fleet, no CRM, no service management. It requires trained installers and a configuration skill your electricians probably do not have yet. It is also a customer-side product, so it improves the offer rather than your operations. Cheaper alternatives exist, and manufacturer energy managers from Huawei or SolarEdge cover the simpler cases at no extra hardware cost.
10. PV*SOL premium
What it does best. Detailed simulation with strong storage, heat pump and self-consumption modelling, from Valentin Software in Berlin. Polish technical buyers know the name, the 3D shading visualisation is persuasive in a meeting, and the self-consumption analysis is directly relevant to the net-billing question. It is the tool a Polish bureau or a careful engineer reaches for when the answer needs to look defensible.
Real pricing. PVSOL premium is EUR 845 per named user per year plus VAT, roughly PLN 3,630 at PLN 4.3 to the euro, and standard PVSOL is EUR 585, about PLN 2,515. Valentin Software stopped selling perpetual licences on 19 November 2024 and ended maintenance renewals on the older ones from 1 October 2024, so subscription is the only route now. At that price PV*SOL premium is cheaper per user than SurgePV at PLN 4,700, and a Polish buyer who only needs simulation and self-consumption modelling should know that before reading our ranking.
Who it suits. Technical consultancies and installers whose customers ask for an engineering report rather than a sales document.
Honest limitations. Desktop software, weak multi-user collaboration, no CRM, no service management, no invoicing and no monitoring. Its Polish localisation covers language rather than settlement, so net-billing arithmetic, the prosumer deposit and grant handling are still yours to do. Onboarding takes real time. Our PV*SOL alternative guide sets out where a cloud platform wins instead.
All 10 Compared: Layer, Złoty Price and Best Fit
Read the layer column before the price column, because six of these ten do not compete with each other in any meaningful sense.
| # | Platform | Annual cost (PLN, 5 users) | Layers covered | Key capability | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | SurgePV | PLN 23,500 | Design, simulation, proposals | Hourly production settled against hourly prices | Installers doing 5+ projects a month |
| 2 | Huawei FusionSolar | Included with hardware | Monitoring, energy management | Load shifting and heat source control | Huawei-standardised fleets |
| 3 | Berg System | PLN 6,000 to 13,200 | CRM, sales | Lead distribution and commission tracking | Teams with dedicated salespeople |
| 4 | Comarch ERP Optima | PLN 2,000 to 6,000 | ERP, accounting | KSeF invoicing and JPK compliance | Every installer above sole trader |
| 5 | Solar-Log | PLN 400 to 1,600 per site | Monitoring, O&M | One portal for a mixed-brand fleet | Maintenance contract holders |
| 6 | Odoo | Free single-app tier, then published per user per month by country, plus setup | Service, ERP, project | Fault to ticket to visit to invoice | Installers past ten employees |
| 7 | SolarEdge Monitoring and ONE | Included with hardware | Monitoring, energy management | Module-level fault isolation | SolarEdge fleets on shaded roofs |
| 8 | PVsyst | CHF 700 per user (about PLN 3,150) | Simulation | Lender-recognised yield reports | Engineers and large projects |
| 9 | Loxone | PLN 5,000 to 15,000 per home | Home energy management | Surplus-driven heating and charging | Installers selling whole-home energy |
| 10 | PV*SOL premium | EUR 845 per named user (about PLN 3,630) | Design, simulation | Self-consumption and storage modelling | Technical consultancies |
Verdict. Buy against the layer that is costing you money. If quoting and drawings are slow, SurgePV. If nobody can see the pipeline, Berg System. If a customer asks why their bill did not fall, monitoring. If your service inbox is the bottleneck, Odoo. If a lender names the report, PVsyst. If your fleet is four brands and five logins, Solar-Log.
Why Net-Billing Makes Monitoring a Financial Product
This is the substance that separates Poland from most European markets, and it changes what software has to do after the install rather than before it.
Under net metering, a Polish prosumer could export in July and take the energy back in January at a fixed ratio. Timing did not matter much, so monitoring was a comfort feature. Under net-billing, exports are sold at market prices and imports are bought at retail prices, and the gap between those two numbers is the customer’s real economics. Polish midday market prices in spring and summer are frequently very low and occasionally negative, precisely because every south-facing array in the country is exporting at once. The same kilowatt-hour is worth several times more if the dishwasher, the water heater or the heat pump uses it on site.
That has four software consequences.
- Consumption data stops being optional. Production-only monitoring cannot tell a customer whether their savings are real, because the savings depend on the split between self-use and export.
- Control beats observation. A monitoring portal that reports is worth less than one that acts, which is why FusionSolar, SolarEdge ONE and dedicated managers such as Loxone belong on a solar software list.
- Heat pumps become part of the PV sale. A heat pump is the largest controllable load in a Polish home and the best available sink for midday surplus, which is why the bundle sells and why your tooling has to model it hourly.
- The proposal has to be checkable later. If your quote promised a self-consumption share, the monitoring platform is where that promise is either confirmed or argued about, so pick one you are happy for the customer to see.
📘 Regulation note
Net-billing applies to prosumers connected from 1 April 2022. Older installations sit on legacy net metering for their transition period, so a service portfolio contains customers on two different economic models. Any tool that assumes one model will give half your customers wrong advice.

The Service Portfolio Problem the Boom Left Behind
Poland installed rooftop PV extremely fast and then slowed down, and the residue of that is a national service obligation sitting on the books of installers who were staffed for selling, not for maintaining. This is the least discussed and most expensive software question in the Polish market.
A portfolio of two thousand residential systems generates a predictable annual load of inverter faults, communication dropouts, optimiser failures, string faults, meter and settlement queries, roof works, and warranty claims that must be evidenced to a manufacturer. Handled on a phone and a shared inbox, each of those costs a call, a diagnosis visit, a parts order, a second visit and an invoice nobody chased. Handled in a service system, most of them cost one visit because the diagnosis happened remotely and the part travelled with the technician.
The behaviours worth buying, in order of payback:
- Remote diagnosis before dispatch. Monitoring data that tells you which component failed turns two visits into one. This alone usually justifies the monitoring layer.
- Ticket continuity. The alert becomes a ticket, the ticket becomes a scheduled visit, the visit becomes an invoice or a warranty claim, all against the same customer record.
- Parts and warranty tracking. Serial numbers, install dates and warranty expiry per site, so a claim is a lookup rather than an archaeology project.
- Evidence retention. Commissioning readings and photographs from year one, held against the asset, which is what settles a dispute in year eight. Our own practice is described in how to monitor solar generation, and the automation direction in why AI is the future of solar operations and maintenance. A workable visit template is this annual maintenance checklist.
Grants add a second records burden on top. Mój Prąd and Czyste Powietrze both require documentation that arrives at your office rather than the customer’s, and both create follow-up correspondence months after the install. Programme rules and application requirements are published on the Polish government portal at gov.pl. Treat grant paperwork as a tracked stage in your service or project tool, because a grant file that fails on a missing invoice becomes your problem, not the customer’s.
⚠️ Watch out
No platform on this list submits a Mój Prąd or Czyste Powietrze application, and none of them fills in a PGE, Tauron, Enea, Energa or Stoen connection form. Five operators means five processes, and software can only remind you where each dossier stands.
The Stack a Polish Installer Should Actually Buy
Layer coverage is theory. This is the prescription by business type, in złoty, and every one of them is two or three paid licences rather than one or six.
- Solo installer or two-person team, up to 3 jobs a month. One SurgePV seat for design and offers, plus the inverter brand’s monitoring portal at no cost, plus Comarch ERP Optima at the smallest tier because KSeF is not optional. Two licences, roughly PLN 8,800 to PLN 12,800 a year. Do not buy a CRM yet.
- Residential installer, 10 to 20 jobs a month, two crews. SurgePV for design and offers, plus Berg System for pipeline and lead attribution, plus Comarch for invoicing, plus the free manufacturer portals for monitoring. Three licences, roughly PLN 31,500 to PLN 42,700 a year for five users. If lead cost is your biggest line item, the CRM pays for itself before the design tool does.
- Installer with a large service portfolio. SurgePV for new work, plus Odoo configured for helpdesk, field service, parts and KSeF invoicing, plus Solar-Log on the commercial sites where you carry a maintenance contract. Two to three licences, roughly PLN 30,100 to PLN 34,900 a year plus per-site monitoring. This is the shape most Polish installers who survived the slowdown are actually in.
- Installer selling PV plus heat pump and storage bundles. SurgePV for the hourly model that justifies the bundle, plus the manufacturer energy management chain from Huawei or SolarEdge, plus Loxone on the premium jobs where the customer will pay for whole-home control, plus Comarch. Two paid licences plus customer-funded hardware, roughly PLN 25,500 to PLN 29,500 a year.
- Commercial and industrial EPC. SurgePV for design and offers, plus PVsyst or PV*SOL when a bank or a technical advisor names the report format, plus Solar-Log where you carry a production guarantee, plus Comarch. Three licences, roughly PLN 28,650 to PLN 33,100 a year plus per-site monitoring fees.
The pattern holds across all five. Design and proposals is worth consolidating into one licence, because splitting it costs money and lets the sold number drift from the engineered one. Monitoring stays free with the inverter until a mixed fleet or a contract forces a hardware-agnostic platform. Accounting is bought from a Polish vendor because KSeF says so. And service management, not design, is the layer that most Polish installers should buy next.
Pros and Cons: Standardising on SurgePV in Poland
- ✓ Hourly net-billing arithmetic lives in a spreadsheet today
- ✓ You sell storage or heat pump bundles and must justify them
- ✓ Design and offers currently sit in two different tools
- ✓ You need PN-HD 60364 labelled drawings from the sold design
- ✗ Service and warranty work is your real bottleneck (Odoo)
- ✗ KSeF compliance is the deadline (Comarch)
- ✗ Monitoring four inverter brands is the daily pain
- ✗ A lender or advisor names PVsyst or PV*SOL
SurgePV wins this ranking on bundled design and proposal coverage, on złoty cost of ownership, and on modelling hourly settlement rather than a flat credit. It loses on monitoring, which it does not do at all and which net-billing makes central. It loses on service and O&M, where a Polish installer with a large portfolio now spends most of its operational money. It loses on KSeF invoicing and Polish accounting integration, where it offers nothing. And it does not touch operator connection forms or grant applications. Those are real gaps rather than marketing caveats, and any vendor claiming to cover all six Polish layers is describing a roadmap.
How Heaven Green Energy Helps
Heaven Green Energy has delivered more than 10,000 solar installations with an in-house design and engineering team, so we assess software as an operator rather than as a reviewer. Our test for the best solar software in Poland is whether the number promised to the customer survives the engineer, the operator, the settlement rules and the customer’s first full year without changing. That is why bundled design and proposal platforms rank above sales-first tools here, and why we treat monitoring, CRM, service management and accounting as separate purchases rather than checkboxes on a feature grid.
- Solar EPC services for turnkey design, supply and installation with performance guarantees.
- Commercial solar for 10 to 100 kW systems with full financial modelling.
- Industrial solar for 100 kW and above with bankable yield reporting.
- Heaven Designs solar design software resource centre for the engineering-services view of the same tools.
Neutral market context for a board paper comes from the International Energy Agency and IRENA country profiles.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best solar software in Poland in 2026?
SurgePV ranks first for most Polish installers at about PLN 4,700 per user per year on the 5-User Team plan, covering 3D design, 8,760-hour simulation, hourly net-billing settlement modelling and PN-HD 60364 labelled drawings in one licence. PV*SOL premium is the recognised simulation alternative at EUR 845 per named user per year plus VAT, about PLN 3,630, which makes it cheaper per seat than SurgePV. Neither covers monitoring, service management or KSeF invoicing, so a realistic Polish stack is two or three licences.
How many software tools does a Polish solar installer need?
Two or three. A bundled design and proposal platform is the core purchase, because splitting design and offers across two products costs money and number consistency. A Polish accounting product such as Comarch ERP Optima is effectively compulsory because of KSeF. The third licence depends on your bottleneck: a sales CRM such as Berg System if leads are expensive and untracked, or a service platform such as Odoo if warranty and maintenance work now fills your crews’ weeks.
How much does a Polish solar software stack cost?
A five-person Polish installer commonly lands between PLN 28,000 and PLN 43,000 a year across the stack. Five SurgePV seats are about PLN 23,500. Berg System runs PLN 6,000 to PLN 13,200 for five users, Comarch ERP Optima PLN 2,000 to PLN 6,000, and Odoo at its published Polish per-user rate plus implementation. PVsyst is CHF 700 per user, about PLN 3,150, and PV*SOL premium EUR 845 per named user plus VAT, about PLN 3,630. Manufacturer monitoring is included with the hardware.
Why does monitoring matter more under net-billing?
Because the customer’s savings now depend on when energy is used, not just how much is produced. Exports are settled against market prices, which are lowest in the midday hours when Polish arrays export hardest, while imports are bought at retail prices. A kilowatt-hour consumed on site is worth several times more than one exported. Monitoring with consumption data is how you show whether the self-consumption share in your proposal actually happened, and energy management is how you improve it.
Do Polish installers need home energy management software?
Increasingly yes, and it is a revenue line rather than an overhead. Under net-billing, shifting a heat pump, a water heater or EV charging into surplus generation hours directly raises the customer’s savings. Manufacturer systems from Huawei and SolarEdge cover the common cases at no licence cost if you sold the full hardware chain. Dedicated controllers such as Loxone go further on whole-home control at roughly PLN 5,000 to PLN 15,000 installed, sold to the customer.
What does KSeF mean for solar software choice?
It means invoicing has to live in a Polish product that is compliant on the mandated date, not in whatever your quoting tool emits. The national e-invoicing system becomes obligatory in 2026, with the technical specification published by the Ministry of Finance, so most installers use Comarch ERP Optima, Symfonia or a comparable Polish package, or a localised ERP such as Odoo. No solar design or proposal platform on this list handles KSeF, which is why the accounting layer is a separate purchase in every prescribed stack.
Does any software handle Mój Prąd and the operator connection forms?
No. None of the ten platforms submits a Mój Prąd or Czyste Powietrze application, and none fills in a PGE, Tauron, Enea, Energa or Stoen connection form. The five distribution operators each run their own documents, portals and lead times. What software can do is hold each grant and connection step as a dated stage against the job, so you can see across the whole portfolio which files are incomplete before a deadline rather than after one.
Should a Polish installer buy O&M software before another design tool?
Usually yes, if service work now exceeds roughly a third of crew hours. The boom left many Polish installers with service portfolios far larger than their current install volume, and each unplanned diagnosis visit costs margin they no longer have. Remote diagnosis, ticket continuity and parts tracking turn two visits into one on most faults. A second design licence, by contrast, only helps if design throughput is genuinely what limits your revenue.
Stop paying for four tools. Design it all in one.
