A flat-rate PE-stamped plan-set service pitched at contractors, homeowners and DIY installers alike, priced publicly at $1,200 / $2,000 / from $3,700 per plan set by system size, with unlimited revisions and optional interconnection and AHJ-submission add-ons.
An instant-permitting and automated code-compliance platform that building departments switch on and that permit applicants pay for per plan check — positioned as a general regulatory-compliance engine rather than a solar-only permit app.

A racking manufacturer's paid, done-for-you plan-set desk — PE stamps in all 50 states, 24-hour turnaround after onboarding — sold as the full-service counterpart to its free self-service design tool, U-Builder.
A done-for-you plan-set and engineering-stamp service sold as an add-on inside Aurora's design and sales platform, so the intake form is pre-populated from the design you already built.
