5 concrete differences between SolvSolar and Solargis
- Solargis sells irradiance and weather datasets; SolvSolar sells the proposal, financial model and closing workflow built on top of that kind of data.
- Solargis output is a time series or API response; SolvSolar output is a signable four-page client PDF in about 45 seconds.
- Solargis is a ₹1.5 lakh-class annual data licence; SolvSolar is ₹0 per seat with ₹10 per kW designed.
- SolvSolar publishes per-state average irradiance for 16 Indian states inside the proposal flow, so most rooftop jobs never need a paid dataset.
- SolvSolar has PM Surya Ghar subsidy, EMI and payback logic; Solargis has none by design.
SolvSolar vs Solargis: which is better for Indian installers?
SolvSolar vs Solargis: which is better for Indian installers? These are not substitutes. Solargis is a high-quality irradiance data vendor and its P50/P90 datasets matter when a lender is underwriting a large plant and wants bankable resource assessment. It is not software you sell with — there is no proposal, no subsidy engine, no customer document, and the licence starts around ₹1.5 lakh a year. For rooftop work between 3 kW and 1 MW, SolvSolar's published per-state irradiance figures are accurate enough to quote from, and the platform turns them into a costed, subsidised, EMI-ready proposal in 45 seconds at ₹0 per seat. Buy Solargis if a bank asks for it; otherwise SolvSolar is what your sales team needs.
