SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Aug 27, 2024–
Aurora Solar, the leading global platform for solar sales and design, today announced it will launch HelioScope Similar Obstruction Detection at RE+ in September. Built with Aurora Solar’s proprietary AI technology, HelioScope Similar Obstruction Detection streamlines the process of identifying and creating “keepouts” — or areas where modules should not be placed, such as a skylight — for rooftop obstructions in commercial and industrial (C&I) solar projects.

As C&I solar projects get bigger and more complex, the challenge of managing numerous obstructions — everything from HVAC units to vents — has become increasingly daunting. Traditionally, finding and creating keepouts for these obstructions has been a time-consuming, manual task, extending design timelines and creating inefficiencies. HelioScope Similar Obstruction Detection addresses these challenges by drastically reducing the time required to locate and manage rooftop obstructions.
Features and Benefits:
Increased Efficiency: As the first AI-based detection solution for large scale C&I solar projects, HelioScope Similar Obstruction Detection uses Aurora Solar’s proprietary AI technology to identify and create keepouts for similar obstructions in a fraction of the time. What typically takes 10-15 minutes to do manually can now be automated in just 10-15 seconds.Accelerated Project Timelines: By automating detection and keepout creation processes, solar developers and Engineering, Procurement, and Construction companies (EPCs) can accelerate their design timelines, enabling them to focus on higher-value tasks and deliver more proposals.Support for Larger Projects: While AI-based obstruction detection is not new to residential solar, its use in C&I solar has been limited to small rooftop projects. With the introduction of HelioScope Similar Obstruction Detection, C&I solar professionals will be able to confidently automate the accurate detection and creation of keepouts on even the largest rooftops systems.
Paul Grana, GM, HelioScope at Aurora Solar said, “By integrating Aurora’s state-of-the-art AI technology in HelioScope, we’re expanding our capabilities as the world’s most trusted solar software, providing a solution that speeds up the design process, and enhances the accuracy of preliminary designs.”
