Aurora Solar acquires Lyra to enhance solar permitting process

Aurora Solar, a leading solar sales and design company based in San Francisco, has acquired Lyra, a provider of instant plan set packages. Lyra’s software automates the creation and export of permit-ready design plans, addressing challenges posed by complex regulations and manual data entry. This integration will help solar installers deliver projects more quickly and at lower costs and, consequently, increased solar installations. The acquisition aligns with Aurora’s ambition to lead US residential plan set services and automation, with 80% of the top US installers relying on this platform. Aurora Solar’s cloud-based platform leverages data, automation, and AI to streamline workflows and accelerate solar business growth. The company, supporting over 7,000 organizations, claims to have designed over 20 million solar projects globally.
