SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 24, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — Aurora Solar, an industry-leading solar design software company, released today a new version of their software that dramatically increases the speed and simplicity of solar design, while offering support for multi-megawatt commercial solar projects.
Aurora Solar pioneered accurate remote solar design, which saves solar contractors time and money because they can design a custom solar PV system without physically visiting the project site. Over the last two years, with feedback from over a thousand solar installers, Aurora has rebuilt its solar design software from the ground up.
Aurora incorporated state-of-the-art graphics technology to deliver an order-of-magnitude increase in computing speed and a simpler interface. The update combines Aurora’s industry-leading accuracy with lightning-fast speed, greater simplicity, and support for larger solar projects. Learn more here.
KEY HIGHLIGHTS:
SPEED
- 10X performance upgrades for multi-megawatt, commercial-scale solar projects
- The ability to simulate the solar energy production of a PV system while designing, allowing real-time assessment of design choices
SIMPLICITY
- A fully 3D design experience, with seamless transitions between different perspectives of the project site
- Automated tools to assist solar designers in determining the optimal wiring (stringing) configuration for connecting solar panels to inverters
SCALE
- Support for significantly larger, multi-megawatt solar projects
- Enhanced “fill zone” functionality which automatically optimizes solar panel locations to maximize the number that fit within an available space
WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING:
- “This new redesign for Aurora makes it an even better tool for our team! The ease-of-use was incredible and minimized our designers’ learning curve… The ability to operate with full functionality in 3D streamlines adjustments to site design and system layouts.”–Robert Shaw, SolarTech
- “Just when you think it can’t get any better–BAM–the redesign of Aurora comes out. It’s easy to use, looks great, and speeds up the design process.”– Donovan Pundt, Positive Solar
