The software automates many steps in the design process, enabling users to generate accurate system layouts quickly and prepare proposals for customers. Unlike generic design tools, Aurora Solar focuses specifically on the solar industry and offers tailored features, scalable plans, and ongoing updates to support installers as they grow their business.
