Not just a layout sketcher. A complete solar engineering lab.
Explore how Solset AI automates every step of solar array engineering — from obstruction avoidance to wind-load calculations and direct billing.
Route around water tanks, mumties, and vents without manual redrawing.
Drop satellite coordinates or draw your roof polygon. Solset AI automatically calculates building setbacks, aligns modules to true solar South, and routes around rooftop obstructions while maintaining fire code clearance.
- Auto-detects roof pitch and orientation azimuth
- Custom tilt table spacing prevents inter-row self-shading
Why leading solar contractors switch to Solset Design Studio.
We eliminated the disconnect between 3D designers, civil engineers, quoting reps, and field installers.
AI Satellite Rooftop Tracing
High-resolution satellite layers pinpoint site boundaries automatically. Hand-trace unique angles or let the computer vision assist outline the roof in seconds.
Bankable PVGIS Solar Yields
Connected directly to the European Commission JRC PVGIS satellite database. Computes GHI, DNI, temperature derating, and clipping losses for exact site coordinates.
Real Civil & Steel Takeoff
Select from 7 certified mounting types. Solset AI outputs the actual purlins, rafters, columns, anchor bolts, and ballast load needed to satisfy IS 875 wind codes.
Interactive 3D Client Scene
Clients can rotate, zoom, and inspect their solar array in 3D right from their smartphone. No app download or account creation required.
Multi-Option Design Compare
Present Option A (Budget 3 kWp) vs Option B (Premium 5 kWp Elevated Gazebo) side by side. Compare CapEx, payback, and 25-year cash flow in real-time.
1-Click CRM & Billing Sync
The same design that sizes your panels automatically generates your GST quotation, holds inventory in your warehouse, and dispatches via WhatsApp.
Solset AI vs Legacy Solar Tools
See why high-volume EPCs replace 4 disconnected tools with Solset’s unified design engine.
| Key Capability | Solset AI Design Studio | AutoCAD / SketchUp | Standalone Solar Sizers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rooftop Satellite CAD & Tracing | Instant AI boundary trace + sub-meter satellite imagery | Manual tracing from low-res screenshots or drone orthomosaic | Basic satellite trace, often requires manual scaling |
| Irradiance & Yield Engine | Bankable PVGIS satellite database (EU JRC) for exact GPS coords | None (Requires export to PVsyst or Excel) | Rule-of-thumb flat multiplier or approximate national averages |
| Structural Engineering & Steel Takeoff | Automated steel kg BOM (purlins, rafters, columns, ballast) + IS 875 | Manual drafting by structural draftsman (hours) | None or generic mounting estimate only |
| Electrical SLD & Auto Stringing | Auto MPPT matching, Voc/Vmp thermal windows & Single Line Diagram | Drawn manually by electrical engineer | Basic stringing without dynamic DISCOM compliance rules |
| PM Surya Ghar Subsidy Engine | Real slab-based calculation (₹30k/kW up to 2kW + ₹18k 3rd kW) | Not available | Flat % of project cost (often inaccurate) |
| CRM, Stock & Invoicing Connection | Unified 1-Click: Design → BOM → Quotation → Stock Hold → Tax Invoice | Completely disconnected; manual data re-typing | Requires third-party Zapier/CSV exports |
| Customer Proposal Delivery | Branded PDF report + 3D Interactive Web Link (No customer login) | Static 2D blueprint PDF only | Standard PDF quote |

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything solar EPCs ask before moving off standalone design tools.
How does Solset Design Studio get rooftop imagery and boundary outlines?
Solset AI streams high-resolution satellite imagery directly to your browser. You can trace boundaries manually by clicking rooftop corners or use our AI assist layer to automatically propose rooftop perimeter polygons and detect obstructions like water tanks and stairwell mumties.
Are generation numbers bankable for loan and financing approvals?
Yes. Unlike calculators that apply a flat 4.0 kWh/kWp multiplier, Solset AI fetches multi-year satellite solar irradiance datasets directly from the European Commission’s PVGIS database for your exact latitude and longitude. The outputs factor in tilt, azimuth, local temperature deratings, inverter efficiency, and soiling loss.
How does the structural steel takeoff calculate bill of materials (BOM)?
When you select any of our 7 mounting types (Elevated Gazebo, Double Pole, Ballasted, Seasonal Tilt, etc.), Solset AI computes purlin counts, rafter lengths, column schedules, base plate details, and total steel weight (kg) calibrated to IS 875 Part 3 wind code standards. You can also export structural specs to STAAD Pro.
Does the quotation use real prices from my own warehouse catalogue?
Yes. Solset Design Studio is natively connected to your Solset ERP product catalogue. Every panel, inverter, structure kg, DC cable roll, and ACDB is priced according to your current contractor cost list. If an item is unpriced, it is flagged rather than guessed.
How does the PM Surya Ghar subsidy engine calculate the deduction?
Solset AI strictly implements the official MNRE slab structure: ₹30,000/kW for the first 2 kWp, ₹18,000 for the 3rd kWp, capped at a maximum of ₹78,000 for residential consumers. Commercial and industrial projects automatically reflect zero direct subsidy but calculate accelerated depreciation tax savings.
Can customers view the 3D design without logging in or downloading software?
Yes! Every design generates a secure, one-click public share URL. Customers can view the 3D model, rotate the building, review panel layouts, inspect generation curves, and approve proposals directly on their smartphone.
Can I export technical documentation and drawings for DISCOM approvals?
Yes. Solset AI exports bankable branded PDF engineering reports, to-scale 2D CAD layout drawings, Single Line Diagrams (SLD), and structural certifications formatted for net-metering applications across Indian state DISCOMs.
