## About

Based in California, US, and founded in 2013 by Christopher Hopper (CEO) and Samuel Adeyemo, Aurora Solar Inc. operates as a developer of a 3D-modelling platform designed to facilitate solar panel installation. In February 2022, Aurora Solar Inc. raised USD 200 million in series D funding co-led by Coatue Management and Energize Ventures, with participation from Fifth Wall Ventures, Iconiq Capital, Emerson Collective, and Lux Capital.

Aurora Solar enables solar companies to streamline the solar project lifecycle by making it easy to integrate disparate data sources, design accurate solar installations, and automate complex workflows. Using the platform, solar professionals can plot out solar panel sites manually, using drag-and-drop components for things like modules, wiring, connections, combiner boxes, and ground mounts.

The company generates revenue by offering its services on a subscription-based pricing plan. The plans include basic (USD 159 per user per month), premium (USD 259 per user per month).

The company plans to use the funding from February 2022 to enhance its software platform.
