Aurora Solar, founded in 2013 by Stanford students, builds cloud-based software for the solar industry. Its platform covers the solar and storage product lifecycle end to end, allowing professional teams to sell, design, finance and deliver projects within a single integrated workflow - from the first customer contact through proposal, quoting and delivery. The company reports that millions of projects have been designed in the software and that thousands of solar organisations use it.
Artificial intelligence, automation and simulation sit at the core of the product. Technical work spans cloud software, solar system design, remote shading analysis, solar simulation, and proposal and quoting software. The accuracy of Aurora's simulation and remote shading analysis has been validated by the U.S. National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). The company positions its platform as a replacement for fragmented legacy tools, with the aim of shortening cycle times and improving proposal accuracy.
Aurora Solar operates across the solar energy, energy storage, renewable energy and clean energy sectors. Its stated mission is "a future of solar energy for all", and its stated emphasis is on speed, accuracy and trust - equipping solar professionals with data, automation and AI rather than outdated, disconnected systems.
