reasons to pick Aurora Solar instead

Solset AI starts at the same roof and keeps going. The design becomes the quotation, the purchase order, the installation schedule, the invoice and the service visit, on one customer record, for any country, priced per company rather than per seat.

Aurora Solar in one line: Solar design, proposal, financing, contract and permitting software, built around US residential sales teams.

  • HelioScope for commercial work, with production simulations its site says lenders accept.
  • A public API, a partner directory and published self-serve prices.
Pricing

Be honest about it

When to pick Aurora Solar instead.

  • You sell residential solar in the US and your close rate depends on lender offers inside the proposal
  • You want permit plan sets from the same vendor as your design tool
  • Your back office already runs in another system and you only need the sale
