Switch from Solargraf to SurgePV: What to Ask Before You Move

Solargraf's own website was not readable, so this page does not compare features. It lists what SurgePV publishes and what to ask before you move.

Solargraf Alternative: What SurgePV Publishes: cover

Quick answer

Is SurgePV a good Solargraf alternative? This page cannot say, because Solargraf's own website returned HTTP 403 to automated reads in October 2026. SurgePV publishes a scope of design, yield, financial modeling and proposals at $1,899 per user per year for 1 user. Ask Solargraf what you can export before moving.

We could not read Solargraf’s own website, so this page does not compare Solargraf with SurgePV feature by feature. The site at solargraf.com returned HTTP 403 (access denied) to automated reads in October 2026. That included a headless browser (a browser that runs without a window). We use only a vendor’s own pages for facts about it, so we say nothing about Solargraf’s features, prices or export options.

SurgePV publishes this page and is a vendor in this category: it competes with Solargraf, and this page covers only SurgePV’s published facts. The facts here come from public pages, checked October 2026. We have not compared the two products side by side.

What can we say about Solargraf?

Very little. Enphase lists a Solargraf service in its online store. The page we read has a name and a “Book a demo” button, and no feature text. We draw no conclusions from it.

What does SurgePV publish?

  • Scope. 3D roof modeling, solar array layout, shading analysis, energy-yield modeling, financial modeling, electrical workflow support, bill-of-materials (BOM, the parts list) output and proposal generation.
  • Price. USD 1,899 per user per year for 1 user. USD 1,499 per user per year for 3 seats. USD 1,299 per user per year for 5 seats. See the pricing page.
  • How you start. A guided demo. SurgePV does not advertise a self-serve trial.
  • Limits. Results depend on source data, assumptions, equipment models and review. Outputs support design and documents. They do not replace approval by the responsible engineer, authority, lender, insurer or utility.
  • Not listed. The published scope does not list a CRM. It does not state a project size, a list of supported equipment brands, or an import tool for other vendors’ files.

What should you ask before you move?

We cannot tell you how to export from Solargraf. Use this list when you talk to Solargraf and to SurgePV.

Ask Solargraf:

  1. Which of my data can I export: customer records, designs, proposals, reports?
  2. In which file formats?
  3. What happens to my projects when my plan ends?
  4. Is there an export guide I can read? Please send the link.

Ask SurgePV, in a demo:

  1. Which of my outputs does SurgePV cover?
  2. What can SurgePV use from my Solargraf exports? Please confirm in writing.
  3. Which equipment brands are in your library? Please confirm in writing.
  4. What is in the written quote, and what is not?

What should you do before you move?

  1. List your open projects. For each one, write down which outputs a client, lender or permit office needs.
  2. Export what Solargraf lets you export. Keep the originals.
  3. Do not cancel anything until you have a working replacement.
  4. Book a demo and bring one real project. Compare the result with your Solargraf output yourself.
  5. Decide project by project.

Who should pick Solargraf, and who should pick SurgePV?

Pick SurgePV if its published scope below covers every output you send to clients. If Solargraf already does what you need, you have no reason to move. We cannot say what it does, so check its own pages. Compare the outputs you need with SurgePV’s published scope above. If SurgePV’s scope does not list something you need, stay where you are or ask SurgePV about it.

Bottom line

Without Solargraf’s own pages, the honest answer is to compare outputs yourself. If SurgePV’s published scope covers what you send to clients, book a demo with one real project. If cost is the first question, see the SurgePV pricing.

Solargraf's own website (solargraf.com) returned HTTP 403, which means access denied, to automated reads in October 2026. That included a headless browser. We use only a vendor's own pages for facts about it, so Solargraf is not compared on this page.
