Framed as requirements, not a verdict. Both descriptions come from the same data.
Consider Aurora Solar — Plan Sets Service if…
- your work is mostly residential
It is for existing Aurora customers on the Enterprise plan who want to stop re-keying project data into a separate permitting vendor. It is not available as a standalone purchase: the published feature matrix restricts plan sets and engineering stamps to the Enterprise tier, so an installer who does not already run Aurora cannot buy the plan set on its own, and no plan-set price is published at any tier.
Full Aurora Solar — Plan Sets Service profileConsider Symbium if…
- you need a price you can plan against before talking to sales
- your work is mostly residential
It is for building departments that must satisfy a state instant- permitting mandate (California SB379, Maryland's Brighter Tomorrow Act) or that want automated compliance across more than rooftop solar, and for contractors, expediters and owner-builders in the jurisdictions where it is live. It is not a design or plan-set tool — it checks and issues, it does not draft — and like any instant-permitting platform its value to an installer is entirely a function of whether their AHJ has adopted it.
