Aurora Solar is a SaaS company that provides solar design and sales software to over 7,000 residential and commercial solar installers across the US and Canada. Its platform uses satellite imagery, LIDAR data, and proprietary algorithms to automate site design, shading analysis, energy simulations, and sales proposals, helping solar companies reduce soft costs and streamline their workflows.
Aurora was founded in 2013 by Stanford engineering graduates Chris Hopper (CEO) and Samuel Adeyemo (CRO), who previously worked together on off-grid solar projects in East Africa. In December 2022, Aurora raised a $200 million Series D at a $4B valuation led by Coatue and Energize Ventures. The company plans to use the capital to accelerate product development, expand to new geographies, and move into adjacent markets like solar financing and permitting.
By joining Aurora's 600+ person team, you'll have the opportunity to help build industry-leading software that is accelerating the global transition to clean energy. You'll work alongside talented engineers, solar experts and business leaders in a culture that values collaboration, innovation and diversity.
