Michigan Solar Solutions: 70% less design time with AI.

Michigan Solar Solutions used AI-assisted modelling and automated simulations in its solar design and sales process. Aurora Solar reports faster design, high proposal accuracy, and stronger storage sales.

Starting point

Michigan Solar Solutions needed to produce accurate designs and proposals faster while maintaining customer trust in production estimates and battery recommendations.

Solution implemented

The company used Aurora AI, automated production simulations, proposal tools, Contract Manager, and storage options in one design-to-sales workflow.

Reported result

Aurora Solar reports 70% less design time, 98% proposal accuracy for production estimates, a 45% storage attach rate, and 15–20 minutes saved per contract.

How it worked

MSS connected AI-assisted design to the customer proposal.

The system created the roof model, tested layout and shading, calculated expected production, and carried those assumptions into the proposal and storage conversation.

Headline result

70% less

design time, reported by Aurora Solar

01

Create the site model

Turn available property data into a rooftop model that can be checked before design decisions are made.

02

Test layout and shading

Use assisted design to compare panel placement, roof constraints, and expected solar access.

03

Calculate production

Connect the proposed design to production estimates and the commercial case presented to the customer.

04

Compare system options

Show how storage or alternative configurations change the proposed system and customer outcome.

Reported business impact

The reported results combined speed with accuracy.

Aurora Solar's customer story reports that MSS reduced design work while preserving production estimates that the sales team could explain to customers.

01

70% less design time

MSS reported a 70% reduction in design time using AI and automated simulation features.

02

98% proposal accuracy

The company reported 98% accuracy in proposal production estimates.

03

45% storage attach rate

MSS reported a 45% storage attach rate, compared with the 14% industry benchmark cited in the source.

What this case shows

The evidence is specific.

These lessons come from the implementation and reported results above. The source and attribution are provided below.

  1. 01 Choose AI work where the input, calculation, and output can all be reviewed.
  2. 02 Measure design time and production-estimate accuracy together.
  3. 03 Keep a qualified person responsible for unusual roofs and final assumptions.
  4. 04 Use customer options to improve the decision, not merely to add complexity.
