HelioScope: 20–45 min
SolvSolar: 45 seconds, end to end
India regulatory fit
HelioScope: Limited / US-only
SolvSolar: Global DISCOM & net-metering rulesets
SolvSolar differs from HelioScope because HelioScope charges $159+/seat/mo (≈ ₹14,000 per seat per month (₹1,68,000 a year for one seat)), while SolvSolar charges ₹0 per seat, ₹10 per kW designed — first 100 kW free with no per-seat licence.

SolvSolar vs HelioScope: which is better for Indian installers?
SolvSolar vs HelioScope: which is better for Indian installers? HelioScope is a respected C&I design and yield tool, and for a 500 kW factory roof where string-level losses and single-line accuracy determine the guarantee, the ₹14,000 per seat per month can pay for itself. Most Indian pipelines are not made of those jobs — they are 3–20 kW residential and small commercial, where the deciding factors are the PM Surya Ghar subsidy, the DISCOM's net-metering rule and how fast you replied. HelioScope addresses none of those and adds 20–45 minutes per quote. SolvSolar covers them in 45 seconds at ₹0 per seat. Run SolvSolar as the default and keep HelioScope for the large C&I exceptions.
