Overview
Aurora Solar represents the gold standard in technical solar design, leveraging a proprietary computer vision engine and 2026-grade LIDAR processing to automate the end-to-end solar sales and engineering lifecycle. The technical architecture integrates high-resolution satellite imagery with localized weather data and utility rate databases to generate bankable shade reports (NREL-validated). Its AI Design engine identifies roof planes, calculates pitch, and detects obstructions with 98% accuracy compared to on-site measurements. For the 2026 market, Aurora has positioned itself as an AI-native operating system for renewable energy firms, moving beyond CAD tools into integrated customer acquisition via 'Lead Capture AI'. This feature allows homeowners to self-serve solar designs through a web interface, which uses machine learning to suggest the most cost-effective panel layouts instantly. By bridging the gap between sales proposals and permit-ready engineering designs, Aurora reduces the 'soft costs' of solar installation, which remain the primary friction point in the 2026 clean energy transition. The platform supports complex electrical modeling, including stringing and inverter clipping analysis, ensuring that the AI-generated outputs are technically viable for construction.
