Aurora Solar pioneered accurate remote solar design, which saves solar contractors time and money because they can design a custom solar PV system without physically visiting the project site. Over the last two years, with feedback from over a thousand solar installers, Aurora has rebuilt its solar design software from the ground up.
Aurora incorporated state-of-the-art graphics technology to deliver an order-of-magnitude increase in computing speed and a simpler interface. The update combines Aurora’s industry-leading accuracy with lightning-fast speed, greater simplicity, and support for larger solar projects.
KEY HIGHLIGHTS:
SPEED
10X performance upgrades for multi-megawatt, commercial-scale solar projects
The ability to simulate the solar energy production of a PV system while designing, allowing real-time assessment of design choices
SIMPLICITY
A fully 3D design experience, with seamless transitions between different perspectives of the project site
Automated tools to assist solar designers in determining the optimal wiring (stringing) configuration for connecting solar panels to inverters
SCALE
Support for significantly larger, multi-megawatt solar projects
Enhanced “fill zone” functionality which automatically optimizes solar panel locations to maximize the number that fit within an available space
WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING:
SolarTech Robert Shaw said: “This new redesign for Aurora makes it an even better tool for our team! The ease-of-use was incredible and minimized our designers’ learning curve… The ability to operate with full functionality in 3D streamlines adjustments to site design and system layouts.”
Positive Solar Donovan Pundt said: “Just when you think it can’t get any better–BAM–the redesign of Aurora comes out. It’s easy to use, looks great, and speeds up the design process.”
