Solar sales and design company Aurora Solar has announced the addition of integrated storage modeling into its HelioScope software for commercial solar projects.
The new functionality allows users to model the physical and financial performance of a battery energy storage system (BESS) within the software, allowing for immediate recalculations when performing sizing analysis.
“The solar market is being tested right now, and the companies that come out ahead will be the ones that make their teams faster and their numbers more defensible,” said Aurora COO Sudeep Deshpande in a statement. “Storage is becoming the heart of the commercial deal, and we’re bringing design, storage, and financials into one place so developers can move at the speed this market demands.”
Aurora says the new integrated storage modeling is part of its “new shape of solar” vision, providing efficiency through consolidated workflows and bringing features that address the trend of using battery storage to add economic flexibility in areas with changing demand charges and high-differentiated time-of-use rates.
Prior to the addition of the new features, users had to manually export solar production data from HelioScope and cross-reference this data with detailed utility rate tariff information and battery performance simulations using an external tool.
The company will preview the integrated storage modeling in HelioScope live at Intersolar Europe 2026, June 23–25, 2026.
