What is a design team? A design team is a team of people who create solar designs. Solar companies can contract through design companies such as HelioQuote, SOLO, Sunnova, and SPS to create these solar designs for them. Solar designs are then uploaded to a proposal.
Some companies have their own internal design team. If you cloak into the company and see the solar designs tab at the top, they have an internal design team. Internal design teams can use their own design software or a 3rd party software such as Aurora to create designs. /span>
What is a design tool? A design tool is the software that is used to create the solar design. Each design team uses design tools to create their solar designs. It is helpful to think of design tools being similar to art software, such as Adobe Illustrator. Design tools can be purchased and used by a solar company so that they can then create their own solar proposals, rather than contracting out through another company. Aurora is an example of a design tool. Many companies purchase a license to use Aurora and have their sales reps create their own designs.
When a company uses a design tool to create their designs rather than going through a design team, users have to login with their credentials to make changes and adjustments to the proposal.
