Sameness · vs 4 named
How is this calculated?

Your page is mostly the same.

Most of what your page says, SolarAnywhere says too. You're less same than 154 of the 366 SaaS sites scored (SaaS avg 56).

No category benchmark matched this set.
Sameness Index on a 0 to 100 scale, from distinctive at 0 to interchangeable at 100. This page scores 59. PVsyst scores 64. PVcase scores 69. SolarAnywhere scores 56. Solcast scores 57. The SaaS avg is 56.

Each named site is scored the same way, against the other 4 in this set, so its tick means the same as your marker. The dashed line is the frozen benchmark average.

  1. More same than average

    The average SaaS site scores 56; you scored 59.

    You are 3 points more same than the average SaaS site.

  2. Closest overlap: SolarAnywhere

    Of the 4 sites you named, SolarAnywhere echoes the most of what your page says: 89% of it, weighted by placement. Scored the same way you were, against the rest of the set, SolarAnywhere's own Sameness Index is 56. Those are different measures: the first is overlap with your page, the second is how same SolarAnywhere's whole page is.

    SolarAnywhere is the competitor you sound most like.

  3. Room to own more

    31% of your claim space is ownable: unique, relevant, and hard to copy. 3 of those claims sit in body copy, where few readers reach them.

    31% is ownable, and 3 buried opportunities could help you stand out more.

Do this first

Three changes worth testing first.

Chosen by rule from the comparison with PVsyst, PVcase, SolarAnywhere and Solcast: the shared claim taking your most prominent space, then the claims only you make that sit too low on the page to be read. Each one links to its claim card.

  1. “We provide solutions for all phases of solar energy projects, from initial planning and securing financing to daily operations, management, and maintenance”

    PVcase, SolarAnywhere and Solcast say it too (75% of the set). Buyers may still need it, but shared ground cannot carry your hero — move it lower and give that space to something only you can say.

    Table stakes
    Most of the set says this too.
  2. “Uncertainty of Solargis data can be easily estimated for different climate regions”

    Nobody in the set says this. It sits in body copy, where few readers reach it — worth testing higher up the page; only buyers can tell you whether it lands.

    Surface
    Yours alone. Test it higher up.
  3. “Our methodologies are peer-reviewed and published”

    A claim that is yours alone, filed in body copy. Try it where it will be read before the shared claims are, and let buyers tell you if it moves them.

    Surface
    Yours alone. Test it higher up.

Try these changes, then test them with real buyers.

This measures overlap. Whether buyers notice is a different question, and only they can answer it.

Why this is not 100 minus the Sameness Index

The index is a weighted composite across six categories, including page structure and visuals. This bar is measured on your claims alone, weighted by where each one sits on the page. Different denominators, so the two never add to 100 and are not meant to.

Where you blend in

Territory you spend prominent space on that the set also occupies. Not every line is one to delete — the question is whether it has earned the space, or whether something only you can say should be there instead.

    • “We provide solutions for all phases of solar energy projects, from initial planning and securing financing to daily operations, management, and maintenance”

How this was calculated

Sameness measures how much your claims overlap with the sites compared. It does not measure message quality or whether buyers prefer you.

AI-analyzed: an AI read each page on its own and grouped the claims that say the same thing. No score here was written by a model — every number is computed from those groupings in our own code, with the weights below.

How the score is built
The six category scores, their weights, and what a high score in each one means
CategoryWeightYoursWhat a high score means
Messaging
Category framing, who it is for, and the outcome promised
30%75The most expensive kind of sameness. A buyer cannot tell what job you do that the others do not.
Claims
Attribute and benefit claims — speed, ease, quality, ROI
30%50Every shared claim is a line already read on another tab. Cut the ones nobody owns and spend the space on something they cannot.
Features
Capabilities and functions the page lists
15%65Expected in a mature category, and the least alarming of the six. Feature parity is normal; leading with it is the mistake.
Proof
The kinds of evidence offered: customer logos, numbers, testimonials, case studies, badges
10%20Same kinds of proof as everyone means the proof stops working as proof. It is scored on the kind of evidence, not on which customers are named.
Structure
Section order, navigation, CTA language and placement
10%68The generic SaaS template — hero, logos, three-feature grid, testimonial, CTA. Familiar is not the same as memorable.
Visual
Palette family, imagery style, layout patterns
5%63Weighted lowest on purpose: buyers rarely decide on this. Worth knowing, rarely worth fixing first.

Each site was read on its own first, with no knowledge of the others, so your page gets no benefit of the doubt a competitor’s does not. A category nothing could be measured for drops out and the rest are re-weighted, rather than counted as zero.

What it cannot tell you

The index can find where two pages converge. It cannot say whether a buyer would notice, or which of your reasons to buy actually land. A single check also moves several points between runs, so read the band and the ranking, not the last digit.

Your highest-impact changes

  1. 1
    Table stakesYour hero copy says “We provide solutions for all phases of solar energy projects, from initial planning and securing financing to…”.

    PVcase, SolarAnywhere and Solcast say it too (75% of the set). Buyers may still need it, but shared ground cannot carry your hero — move it lower and give that space to something only you can say.

  2. 2
    Table stakesYour hero copy says “Most accurate data and software for the entire PV power plant lifecycle”.

    Keep the fact, lose the position: pVcase, SolarAnywhere and Solcast say it too (75% of the set), and your hero is spending its first impression on the same territory as theirs.

  3. 3
    Table stakesYour section copy says “Scan and compare tens or even hundreds of potential sites for site selection”.

    This is the set's common ground — PVsyst, PVcase, SolarAnywhere and Solcast all say it too. It will not set you apart wherever it sits, and in the section it costs you the one place a distinctive claim would be read.

  4. 4
    Table stakesYour section copy says “Our software provides high-performance PV energy simulation, capabilities for data quality control, data anal…”.

    A buyer with three tabs open reads a version of this on every one of them. Say it further down for the readers who need it; the section should carry a claim they will only find here.

  5. 5
    Table stakesYour section copy says “Our team has more than 20 years of experience in solar resource assessment and PV energy modeling”.

    True of you and true of them: PVcase, SolarAnywhere and Solcast say it too (75% of the set). That is why it decides nothing, and why the section is the wrong place to spend it.

  6. 6
    Table stakesYour section copy says “Leverage our solar industry know-how based on experience working on 1500+ solar energy projects worldwide”.

    In the section: Keep the fact, lose the position: pVcase, SolarAnywhere and Solcast say it too (75% of the set), and your section is spending its first impression on the same territory as theirs.

  7. 7
    Table stakesYour section copy says “A €12,000 Solargis Evaluate subscription now includes unlimited possibilities for limited budgets”.

    In the section: PVsyst, SolarAnywhere and Solcast say it too (75% of the set). Buyers may still need it, but shared ground cannot carry your section — move it lower and give that space to something only you can say.

  8. 8
    Table stakesYour body copy says “It's designed to provide precise and actionable insights for effective solar project management and planning”.

    In the body: This is the set's common ground — PVcase, SolarAnywhere and Solcast say it too (75% of the set). It will not set you apart wherever it sits, and in the body it costs you the one place a distinctive claim would be read.

  9. 9
    Surface“Uncertainty of Solargis data can be easily estimated for different climate regions” is yours alone, and buyers weigh it.

    Nobody in the set says this. It sits in body copy, where few readers reach it — worth testing higher up the page; only buyers can tell you whether it lands.

  10. 10
    Surface“Our methodologies are peer-reviewed and published” is yours alone, and buyers weigh it.

    A claim that is yours alone, filed in body copy. Try it where it will be read before the shared claims are, and let buyers tell you if it moves them.

  11. 11
    Surface“We fill the occasional gaps in the data flow thanks to our proprietary intelligent algorithms” is yours alone, and buyers weigh it.

    No competitor page makes this claim. Today it is in body copy; it is a candidate for the space the table-stakes lines are taking.

The only way to know if it matters.

This report can tell you where your messaging overlaps. It cannot tell you whether a buyer would care, or which of your reasons to buy actually land. Put the page in front of real B2B buyers in your target market and ask them.
