AI started in solar as a sales assistant. Now it’s becoming a design advantage that directly reduces soft costs. In this session, we’ll unpack the shift from “AI helps close deals” to “AI helps start designs,” as automated 3D modeling and improved post-generation usability in Aurora make it practical for real production workflows. We share what has changed in the technology and workflows to earn designer trust, and how AI-assisted starts are improving speed, consistency, and throughput from the very first draft. We close with a look at what’s coming next and why continued adoption will keep pushing soft costs down.
