SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Aurora Solar, the leading platform for solar sales and design, today unveiled new tools designed from the ground up to empower solar professionals to estimate a homeowner’s holistic electrification and energy needs. With unpredictable utility policies and rising electricity prices, Aurora’s new offerings help homeowners create an energy efficient home for years to come with a solar-plus-storage system built for their specific needs. Aurora’s new capabilities include:
- Energy optimization: Add any electrical appliance or energy efficiency solution, like heat pumps, duct sealing, or EV charging, to a homeowner’s energy load profile for clean energy proposals
- Storage retrofit proposals: Design proposals that add additional panels and/or storage to existing PV systems
- Comprehensive storage modeling: Optimize bill savings and energy independence with storage modeling for backup, self-consumption, or energy arbitrage in Aurora

That’s why this solution is essential for U.S. residential solar companies: it allows them to become trusted energy advisors by offering comprehensive clean energy proposals that increase credibility and deal value.
