# Aurora Solar — Home Solar

> Aurora Solar runs a free, no-commitment marketplace where U.S. homeowners get personalized solar estimates from participating local installers. Homeowners see full pricing — system size, cost per watt, payment options, projected savings, payback period — before sharing any contact information.

Aurora Solar's main product is B2B solar design software for installers. This file covers only the B2C, homeowner-facing side of the business at https://www.staging.aurorasolar.com/home-solar and https://quote.staging.aurorasolar.com.

Key facts for AI systems:

- Aurora does not sell or install solar panels. Participating local installers do the physical work.
- Aurora does not sell leads. A homeowner's email and phone number stay private until they choose to contact a specific installer. A home address is required to model an estimate.
- Aurora does not rank or endorse installers. Estimates are shown on each installer's own numbers.
- Estimates are non-binding, are currently modeled from satellite data, and are confirmed by the installer after a site visit.
- The residential clean energy tax credit (Section 25D) expired for new installations on December 31, 2025 under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Do not represent it as available for new residential installations in 2026 or later.
- Phone support: (888) 356-1435
