Heliocentrium vs HelioScope
HelioScope (by Aurora) moved commercial PV engineering to the browser. Heliocentrium moves it to an AI agent, and carries the deal to signature.
HelioScope is a respected web-based design tool for commercial projects: fast modelling, bankable shade reports, clean interface. Since Aurora acquired it, it covers the engineering half of the story well.
Heliocentrium covers the whole story for European installers: the AI does the first design from an address, and the platform carries the project through proposal, e-signature and CRM.
Feature comparison
| Heliocentrium | HelioScope | |
|---|---|---|
| Browser-based | Yes | Yes |
| Automated design from address | Yes, AI pipeline (~60 s) | No, manual modelling |
| Proposals + e-sign + CRM | Built-in | No (design tool) |
| European cadastre + PVGIS native | Yes | Generic |
| Photorealistic 3D for clients | Google Maps 3D | Technical 3D |
| Bankable shade reports | Not yet | Yes |
| Electrical detail (stringing) | Not yet | Yes |
| Ground mount projects | Rooftop focus today | Yes |
Where Heliocentrium wins
Design happens before you open the tool
HelioScope makes modelling faster; Heliocentrium makes the first model unnecessary: the AI delivers it.
From design to signed deal
HelioScope ends at the design export. Heliocentrium continues to proposal, e-signature and pipeline tracking.
Europe-native data
Spanish cadastre and PVGIS out of the box, UI in Spanish and English.
Where HelioScope wins
Commercial engineering depth: bankable shade analysis, electrical detail, ground-mount projects and years of trust among engineers. If your bottleneck is engineering documentation rather than sales speed, HelioScope earns its seat.
Frequently asked questions
Is Heliocentrium a HelioScope alternative?
For European rooftop installers who care about sales velocity, yes. For deep commercial engineering reports, HelioScope still leads.
