SolarCEO™ vs Aurora Solar

These are not the same kind of product. Aurora Solar is a design and proposal engine used primarily by engineering teams and dealers. SolarCEO™ is a rep-side workspace — CRM, AI voice, outreach, training, and proposal in one app.

When Aurora is the right tool

If the job is precise system design, shading analysis, and engineering-grade proposals for complex roofs, Aurora is the industry standard. Many dealers run Aurora on the ops side regardless of what reps use on the sales side.

When SolarCEO™ is the right tool

If the job is running a rep's day — finding the next conversation, getting on the phone in under a minute, sending a proposal a homeowner can sign on the spot, and tracking commissions — SolarCEO is the rep-side workspace. The PPA proposal generator covers most residential deals without bouncing into a design tool.

Using them together

Plenty of teams run both: Aurora on the ops side for design, SolarCEO on the rep side for everything else. They do not compete — they cover different layers of the same deal.

Frequently asked questions

Does SolarCEO do 3D solar design?

No. SolarCEO uses simplified PPA sizing (110% buffer, 3.59% PPA escalator, 7% utility escalator) for the proposal conversation. For engineering-grade design, dealers typically run Aurora on the ops side.

Can I use Aurora proposals inside SolarCEO?

You can attach Aurora-generated PDFs to a SolarCEO deal. Direct API integration is on the roadmap.
