Everything we built, and what's coming next

2026 asked a lot of solar businesses. You had questions; we built answers.
On October 22, Aurora teams demoed everything that shipped this year and gave you a first look at what’s next. Watch the recording now to dig into the details with the people who built it.

Roadmap and vision

Where Aurora is headed in 2027, straight from our leadership team.

Pricing & Financing

New financing products and integrations, including prepaid leases (PPLs), escalator loans, and TPO, all built into Sales Mode so reps can price them in real time.

Drones & Design

Drone mapping, LiDAR editing, and AI tree detection. Accurate site data without sending anyone up a ladder.

Home Electrification

Add heat pumps, EV charging, and other loads to a design you've already built. One project, one proposal, one savings story.

Storage

Residential and commercial storage, plus energy arbitrage modeling — because storage isn't the upgrade anymore, it's the product.

Market Expansion

Aurora expanded its capabilities to support new European markets this year, including improved data coverage, MCS compliance for the UK, and automated electrical diagrams.
