About Aurora Solar

Aurora is on a mission to create a future of solar for all. Our award-winning software puts the power of data and technology into the hands of every solar professional to make solar adoption simple and predictable. Our software has designed millions of solar projects so far, empowering solar companies to sell, design, and install residential and commercial solar arrays accurately, seamlessly, and at scale.

We’ve been named one of "The Best Remote Companies To Work for in 2025" by  and have been recognized for the second time as a Certified Green Business (CGB) with the city of San Francisco. We’re in this together to support the world’s transition to solar.

Aurora’s design team is composed of a mix of individuals who are driven to solve complex, systems-level problems for residential and commercial solar. We are a lean, agile team, operating with a startup mentality where designers own the end-to-end design lifecycle. Our team embodies a strong collaborative ethos as we partner with product and engineering peers from discovery and research, through to prototyping, delivery, and measuring success.

We value a customer-first mentality to uncover opportunities that align with strategic business priorities. As a design team, we rely on peer design critiques and pairing to elevate the quality of our work.
