"This funding will help us accelerate our vision, as more solar companies choose to grow their business using digital and remote solutions rather than manual ones." The only way to reach that goal is to make it easy for solar professionals to design and sell solar remotely, and to make it affordable for consumers to understand and access the benefits of solar ," said Sam Adeyemo, co-founder and CRO of Aurora Solar. "Our mission is to create a future of solar energy for all. Using Aurora, solar professionals can accurately determine how many solar panels will fit on a property, forecast how much energy the solar system will produce, calculate how many batteries are needed for backup power, and show how much money their client will save by switching to solar.

Based on these experiences, they founded Aurora with the goal of enabling any solar professional to design and sell an optimal solar project in minutes. Talking to other solar installers, they found that soft-costs were impeding the growth of the industry. Although the system itelf took only a few weeks to install, research, financial calculations, and system design took several months. However, Sam and Chris experienced firsthand the inefficiency of the solar sales, design, and commissioning process. The project was a resounding success, allowing the school to save on its electricity bills as well as have a reliable and carbon-free source of energy. In 2012, while still in graduate school, Sam and Chris installed a commercial solar system for a school in East Africa.
