The solar permitting process can be challenging for homeowners
and installers alike. Complex regulations from Authority Having
Jurisdictions (AHJs) and the solar industry’s heavy reliance on
manual data entry contribute to significant delays — and ultimately
costs — to solar installations. Integrating Lyra into the Aurora
Solar platform will help alleviate these challenges by providing
instant, permit-ready proposals, backed by Aurora’s
industry-leading accuracy. The integration will empower solar
installers to deliver projects faster, with lower costs, to enable
more solar installations.
"Lyra’s advanced automation software for plan sets is the
solution the solar industry needs to alleviate a key homeowner pain
point — the often agonizing local permitting process – and cut down
on wasted time and energy for solar professionals," said Chris
Hopper, CEO at Aurora Solar. "We’re proud to be the most trusted
and accurate solar sales and design tool, with 80% of the top U.S.
installers relying on our platform. Our intention is to be the
market leader in U.S. residential plan set services and automation;
the acquisition of Lyra significantly accelerates our ability to
achieve this goal."
