Yes. A/C is the best way to remove humidity, especially from the (inside of the) windshield. The air coming off the evaporator is bone dry.
This puts a lot of wear and tear on the A/C system if you do it daily, though. It would be in your best interest to see if you can find water leakage source into the car. It could also be that water gets in the cabin every once in awhile (from wet clothes, etc.) and gets trapped from lack of ventilation. Cracking the windows helps to dry out the cabin if this is the case. Solar heat will warm the cabin and help get rid of the moisture.
For condensation on the outside, heat will provide defrosting without the use of A/C. Also, I have found RainX to be helpful on older windshields in cutting down condensation/icing on the outside of the windshield.
