Despite some erroneous mixing up of the two...there really is a very stark and quite easily explained difference between them;
The most obvious; Solipsism posits an existent, appearing "me/I, an experiencing/perceiving entity, whereas, Nonduality, does not.
In nonduality, the appearing me is relative...appearance only, just as the appearing you is also relative...appearance only.
Nonduality reveals that the "experiencer/doer," never actually was!
The idea that there is some kind of realization that reveals that the appearing other is for absolute certain, experiencing, perceiving, is akin to suggesting that somehow there can be more than one, singular experience known in a given, singular NOW moment. While there are indeed accounts of drug/CC/Kensho induced experiences, where the boundaries between objects dissolve, even then, that "Mystical experience," is still "singular," and there's not an actual multitude of discrete experiences, all happening simultaneously.
