Aurora Solar, the leading platform for solar sales and design, announced it acquired Lyra, the leading provider of instant plan set packages. Lyra’s permit packaging software helps solar professionals automate, create, and export permit-ready design plans.
The solar permitting process can be challenging for homeowners and installers alike. Complex regulations from Authority Having Jurisdictions (AHJs) and the solar industry’s heavy reliance on manual data entry contribute to significant delays — and ultimately costs — to solar installations. Integrating Lyra into the Aurora Solar platform will help alleviate these challenges by providing instant, permit-ready proposals, backed by Aurora’s industry-leading accuracy. The integration will empower solar installers to deliver projects faster, with lower costs, to enable more solar installations.

Our intention is to be the market leader in U.S. residential plan set services and automation; the acquisition of Lyra significantly accelerates our ability to achieve this goal.”
