Aurora Solar has integrated storage modeling into its HelioScope offering for commercial solar design. Revolutionizing how developers and EPCs design and sell commercial solar and storage, this new feature empowers users to size storage, model performance and run the financial case in the same place they build the design.
What once often required three tools — design, storage modeling, financials — now happens in one platform, from layout to a bankable, lender-ready output. When a client asks what a bigger battery does to the economics, the answer takes minutes, not days.
“The solar market is being tested right now, and the companies that come out ahead will be the ones that make their teams faster and their numbers more defensible,” said Sudeep Deshpande, COO at Aurora Solar. “That’s exactly where we’re investing. Storage is becoming the heart of the commercial deal, and we’re bringing design, storage, and financials into one place so developers can move at the speed this market demands.”
This integrated workflow makes solar-plus-storage design optionality and optimization routine. A battery calculator recommends storage sizing for each design and recalculates as the design changes, making storage part of the design process rather than a step that follows it. A live metrics bar shows the performance and financial impact of every change, turning sales meetings into live optimization sessions rather than a series of revision cycles. And because HelioScope is priced per project, developers can generate and compare unlimited configurations at no additional cost — enabling them to offer a genuine choice of options in every sale.
HelioScope’s production estimates are accepted by lenders in their underwriting, so developers can move from design to financing without re-running numbers in a separate tool. The launch advances Aurora’s broader vision for the new shape of solar: making solar more efficient, resilient and policy-proof through technology.
