Does Solset AI give P90 yield?

Not in the Design Studio. It gives PVGIS-based yearly and monthly generation with editable losses. The Enterprise Plant Studio runs hourly simulations with P50/P90, not yet reconciled against PVsyst.

Which is better for a 10-person EPC?

It depends where the time goes. If it is drawing, SurgePV is design-focused. If it is everything after the drawing, Solset AI runs that on one record and does not charge per seat.

Comparison
