Solar design software, without the truck roll.
Heliora gives solar installers a full remote-design stack powered by Helios — orbital roof analysis, per-plane shading, and proposal-ready output your reps can quote on the same day a lead comes in.
What solar design software should actually do in 2026
Legacy CAD-style tools were built around an in-person site visit. Heliora flips that: every assessment starts with high-resolution satellite and aerial imagery, public LiDAR for roof geometry, and NOAA irradiance for production modeling. Your designer opens the property, picks the layout, and exports a proposal — all before anyone drives anywhere.
- Per-plane azimuth, pitch, and area from LiDAR — not eyeballed
- Hourly shading modeled from surrounding trees and structures
- Production estimate calibrated to the homeowner's actual utility bill
- Branded customer portal for proposal delivery
Why installers switch to Heliora
Most solar companies are paying for a design tool, a CRM, a proposal generator, and a customer portal — four bills, four logins, four exports. Heliora consolidates that into one $299/mo subscription with unlimited assessments and full Helios access for your whole team.
Built on Helios — used by serious installers
Helios is the orbital-imagery engine that powers the residential systems we recommend to homeowners. When you subscribe to Heliora, you get the same engine, the same data sources, and the same accuracy — wrapped in a workflow built for installer ops.
