Aurora Solar
AI-native solar design and sales platform generating accurate system designs and proposals from satellite imagery.
What it does
Aurora Solar is an AI-native solar design and sales automation platform - enabling solar installers and EPCs to design accurate PV systems and generate professional proposals using AI-powered satellite imagery analysis without requiring site visits. AI capabilities include AI roof segmentation that automatically identifies roof planes, obstructions, and orientation from satellite imagery, AI shade analysis that models annual shading from trees, chimneys, and neighboring structures without physical measurements, automated production estimates that forecast annual energy generation with greater than 95% accuracy, AI-powered proposal generation that creates customer-facing solar proposals with system design, production estimates, and financial modeling, intelligent sales workflows that automate follow-up and customer education sequences, and design automation that optimizes panel placement and system sizing.
Why AI-NATIVE
Aurora Solar is AI-native - AI satellite imagery analysis, automated roof segmentation, and AI shade analysis that enable solar design without site visits are core product capabilities.
Best for
Small solar installers use Aurora Solar for professional design and proposal generation - AI satellite design eliminating costly site surveys and enabling faster sales cycles.
Mid-market solar companies use Aurora Solar for systematic sales automation - AI designs at scale enabling high proposal volume and automated follow-up improving close rates.
Large solar EPCs and installers use Aurora Solar for enterprise design automation - AI processing thousands of designs and automated proposal workflows supporting high sales volumes.
Limitations
Nearmap and EagleView offer competing aerial imagery platforms used in solar design workflows — installers should compare imagery resolution, shade analysis accuracy, and integration ecosystem.
Aurora Solar's AI designs are highly accurate but complex roofs, unusual orientations, and dense urban environments may require manual review before final proposal delivery.
Aurora Solar's satellite imagery and utility rate databases are strongest in the US — international solar markets have more limited coverage.
