Comparison
Sol AI vs 60Hertz
These two do different jobs and often sit side by side. 60Hertz is a CMMS — maintenance management software — built for solar, storage and wind: preventive and corrective maintenance, a mobile app technicians use in the field, and inventory. Sol AI is a monitoring layer: every night it checks every site against what it should have made, prices each problem in dollars a day, and keeps each one open until production shows the repair worked. One runs the maintenance team; the other tells the team where the money is.
| 60Hertz | Sol AI | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A CMMS purpose-built for distributed and utility-scale solar, storage and wind | AI agents that find underperforming sites and strings and put a dollar figure on each |
| Maintenance planning | Preventive schedules generated from OEM manuals, plus corrective maintenance | Not a maintenance system. No preventive-maintenance schedules |
| Field technicians | Mobile-first app that works offline, with offline checklists | Built for the person deciding where the crew goes first, not for the checklist on site |
| Inventory | Inventory and asset management (ShelfSense) | Not offered |
| Monitoring data | Lists integrations with inverter platforms including SMA, Sungrow, Huawei, Solis, GoodWe, SolarEdge and Growatt; monitoring integration is a line in their pricing calculator | 18 brands read from their makers' clouds; every site and string checked nightly against that day's weather |
| Pricing | Based on installed capacity and number of sites, not seats; quote on request | Not published; quoted per fleet on a 20-minute call |

Where 60Hertz wins
Running a maintenance operation. 60Hertz is built for the people doing the work: schedules drawn from the equipment manuals, corrective jobs, a phone app that works with no signal, and stock tracking for parts. It covers storage and wind as well as solar, and it does not charge per seat, so adding subcontractors does not add cost. Sol AI does none of that. If your problem is organising technicians and parts across hundreds of sites, you need a CMMS, and 60Hertz is built for this industry.
Who should choose 60Hertz
Choose 60Hertz if you need to plan and record maintenance work — preventive schedules, work orders, a field app and parts inventory — across solar, storage or wind.
Who should choose Sol AI
Choose Sol AI if what you are missing is a nightly answer to which sites are losing the most money and why, and proof each fix held. Many O&M teams will want both: Sol AI to decide where to go, a CMMS to run the visit.
FAQ
Questions, answered
Is Sol AI a CMMS like 60Hertz?
No. A CMMS plans and records maintenance work: schedules, work orders, technicians and parts. Sol AI is a monitoring layer that checks every site nightly against what it should have produced, prices each problem in dollars a day, ranks them, and keeps each one open until production shows the repair worked. The two can be used together.
What should an O&M company use to decide which solar site to visit first?
Rank sites by money lost, not by alarm count. A site that is online but making 30% less than its weather allowed can cost more than a site with a loud but minor alarm. Software that compares each site with its own expected output and prices the gap — such as Sol AI by Modular Intelligence — gives that ranking; a CMMS then runs the visit.
