Aurora solar design, reviewed by people
OC Solar uses Aurora Solar to create roof models, place equipment, evaluate shade, simulate production, and communicate proposed solar and storage layouts. Software accelerates the first design; site verification, engineering, permitting, and human review determine the final buildable system.

The useful answer
What Aurora Solar contributes
Aurora can turn address, imagery, usage, and equipment data into a visual system model. OC Solar uses that model to compare roof planes and system options before the field work begins. It is a planning environment—not permission to skip measurement, electrical verification, structural review, or the approved construction set.
A homeowner gets a clearer view of where panels may fit and how the proposed system is expected to perform. OC Solar then reconciles that model with site conditions and the final plan so the sales image, engineering documents, and installed system stay aligned.
Why it can matter
Three decisions behind the brand name
Proposal clarity
Visual layouts help homeowners understand which roof planes are used and how design alternatives change the proposed system.
Human verification
OC Solar reviews the model against site survey data, equipment availability, engineering, utility, and permitting requirements before construction.
Before you approve a proposal
Verify the complete system.
- 1Use current utility usage and rate information rather than a generic bill assumption.
- 2Reconcile imagery-based measurements with field conditions before final engineering.
- 3Keep proposal equipment synchronized with the permit set and material order.
Questions homeowners ask
Aurora Solar FAQ
Does OC Solar use Aurora Solar?+
Yes. OC Solar works with Aurora Solar and uses its platform in solar and storage design workflows, while retaining human review, site verification, engineering, and permitting controls.
Is an Aurora solar design the final construction plan?+
No. It is an important design and communication tool, but the final build depends on verified site conditions, electrical and structural requirements, equipment, utility rules, and the approved permit set.
What information improves an Aurora design?+
A correct address, current electric usage, rate plan, clear roof imagery, site survey measurements, electrical equipment information, shade conditions, and the homeowner's battery and backup goals all improve the design inputs.
