About Aurora Solar

Aurora Solar is a cloud-based platform that revolutionizes photovoltaic (PV) system design and delivery by enabling solar professionals to create precise 3D models and designs without requiring on-site visits. The platform leverages advanced satellite imagery, LiDAR data, and AI algorithms to generate accurate system designs, shading analysis, and performance predictions. Aurora streamlines the entire solar project lifecycle from design through installation, reducing design time, minimizing errors, and accelerating project sales cycles. By integrating Aurora Solar through AiDOOS, enterprises gain enhanced deployment flexibility, improved governance across distributed teams, seamless API integrations with CRM and project management systems, and optimized scalability for managing thousands of concurrent designs across multiple locations.

Challenges It Solves

  • Time-consuming site visits required for accurate solar system design and shading analysis
  • Manual design processes prone to errors, leading to costly rework and project delays
  • Difficulty scaling solar operations when constrained by geographic availability of designers
  • Inaccurate performance predictions due to incomplete or incorrect site data
  • Slow sales cycles delaying customer approval and project timeline acceleration

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Aurora Solar design systems without satellite imagery in remote areas?
Aurora utilizes multiple data sources including satellite, aerial photography, and user uploads. For areas with limited satellite coverage, users can manually input site data to generate designs, though accuracy is optimized with high-resolution imagery.
How does Aurora Solar integrate with existing permitting workflows?
Aurora generates compliant technical drawings, electrical schematics, and system specifications automatically. These documents can be exported and submitted to municipal permitting systems, often meeting standard requirements across jurisdictions.
What level of accuracy can be expected from remote 3D designs versus on-site surveys?
Aurora's designs achieve 95%+ accuracy for energy production estimates and structural analysis. The platform uses LiDAR and high-resolution imagery; on-site verification may still be recommended for complex installations or unusual structural conditions.
How does AiDOOS enhance Aurora Solar's deployment capabilities?
AiDOOS provides enterprise-grade deployment, governance frameworks, and seamless API integrations enabling organizations to scale Aurora across multiple teams, automate workflows, and connect with their existing software ecosystems while maintaining data security and compliance standards.
Is Aurora Solar suitable for commercial-scale solar projects?
Yes, Aurora is designed for projects ranging from residential to utility-scale installations. The platform handles complex multi-array systems, can analyze large sites with shading interference, and supports enterprise-level project management requirements.
What training and support resources are available for new users?
Aurora provides comprehensive documentation, video tutorials, webinars, and dedicated customer success support. Integration through AiDOOS includes deployment guidance, governance setup, and optimization consultation to maximize platform adoption and ROI.
