Aurora Solar Expands Platform to Streamline Home EV Charger and Solar Sales

Aurora Solar Adds EV Charger Modeling

Solar software provider Aurora Solar updated its digital design platform to include full home electrification planning. Installers can now model household electrical loads that incorporate Level 2 EV chargers, battery energy storage systems, and heat pumps alongside rooftop solar arrays. The software update also integrates financing tools to give buyers clear monthly payment estimates for bundled clean energy upgrades.

Why Integrated Solar and Charging Matters

For American drivers transitioning to electric vehicles, pairing home charging with rooftop solar significantly reduces fuel costs. Adding an EV to a home increases electricity consumption by 3,000 to 4,000 kWh annually. Bundling EV charger hardware into solar planning ensures the system is sized accurately to avoid peak utility rates.

Homeowners can also maximize federal tax incentives, including the 30% Residential Clean Energy Credit for solar and storage, alongside potential local utility rebates for smart EV chargers.

How to Plan Your Home Charging Setup

When requesting rooftop solar quotes, ask installers to calculate your current or future EV mileage to size the solar array correctly. Ensure your electrical panel supports a 48-amp Level 2 charger, and explore bundled financing options to lock in lower total project costs.
