Aurora designs the system.
Powerlily runs the company around it.
Aurora Solar is a respected design and sales tool, priced per user. Powerlily starts in the same place, with 3D design and proposals, then carries the signed job into the CRM, invoicing, client portal and fleet monitoring your team uses after the sale, on one company subscription.
Credit where it is due
What Aurora Solar does well.
Aurora is a strong choice when design and sales tooling is the main need. Its own pricing page lists:
- Design accuracy and site models
- HD imagery, on-demand site models and, on Premium, LIDAR-assisted modeling and bankable shade reports.
- Battery modeling
- Backup, self-consumption and arbitrage modeling on the Premium plan.
- Enterprise services
- AI-assisted site models, drone mapping, APIs, plan sets, engineering stamps and professional services on Enterprise.
One record, from the knock to the service call.
The sale, the install and, on Pro, the monitored system share one customer record, so nothing is re-keyed between tools. The plan is priced for the company, not the seat.
Pricing that does not grow with headcount
Aurora Basic and Premium are licensed per user, with 50 projects a month per license. Every Powerlily plan includes unlimited users and branches, and Essentials and above include unlimited self-serve quotes. Add a setter, a designer or an office without adding a seat.
The sale continues in the same record
Aurora’s pricing page covers design and sales. In Powerlily the signed design becomes the project, invoice, crew schedule, client portal and installed system without re-keying it into a separate CRM.
The service call opens on the same record
Powerlily Pro monitors Enphase, SolarEdge, APsystems and Tesla Powerwall systems in one fleet view, tied to the original design and customer, with no per-system monitoring fee. When a system faults, the service call opens on the same record, with the design and equipment already there.

Who each one is for.
- Aurora Solar may fit if
- You mainly need design and sales tools for a small number of designers, or you already run a separate CRM, invoicing and monitoring stack you plan to keep.
- Powerlily may fit if
- More people than designers need a login, you are done paying per seat, and you want the sale, the install and the monitored system on one record.
Switching from Aurora Solar?
Bring a real project and your current software bill. We walk the project from design to the monitored system, then set that bill beside one company subscription. Guided onboarding comes with every plan, and your leads and customers import by CSV.
