Not really, it is pretty much the other way around. :-) We're basically building the simplest thing that could possibly work, they are rebuilding a lot of infrastructure that they have to use, but we can use where it makes sense. So, they are kinda trying to implement the Web, which is a much bigger task than adding access control and identity... :-) There's also been quite a lot of overlap between people working on Solid and working on Blockchains in the past, so we know it well. But we're not really in competition, we'd be fine coexisting.

Is "we" Solid or Ethereum?
