Pricing Questions
Common questions about our pricing and licensing model
How much do I save vs Aurora Solar, OpenSolar, or other SaaS platforms?
Massive savings. Aurora Solar costs ~$300/user/month ($3,600/year). For a 5-person team, that's $18,000/year or $54,000 over 3 years. SolarCPQ Installer at $7,999 one-time saves you $46,000+ over 3 years. Commercial EPC tier saves $60k+ vs enterprise SaaS pricing. Plus, you own your pricing data and customer information forever—no vendor lock-in.
What does 'one-time purchase' mean?
You pay once and own the software forever. Unlike subscription models, there are no recurring fees. You can use the software indefinitely on your infrastructure. Updates are included for the duration specified in your plan (6 months to lifetime depending on tier).
What happens after my support & update period ends?
Your SolarCPQ software continues to work perfectly forever—you own it. You just won't receive new feature updates, version upgrades, or access to support channels. Critical security patches are provided free for 3 years regardless of renewal. You can optionally renew support & updates at 15-20% of your original license cost annually.
How much does annual renewal cost?
Optional annual renewals: Starter $899/year (20%), Installer $1,599/year (20%), Commercial EPC $3,999/year (20%). Enterprise includes lifetime support with no renewal fees. Renewal gives you continued support access, new features, and version upgrades. Still dramatically cheaper than SaaS—Installer renewal costs $1,599/year vs $18,000/year for Aurora Solar.
Do I have to renew support annually?
No, renewals are completely optional. Your software works forever without renewal. Renew only if you want continued support access, new features, or major version upgrades. Many customers renew to stay current, but you can also skip renewals and upgrade later when needed. Critical security patches provided free for 3 years.
Can I upgrade from Starter to a higher plan?
Absolutely! When you upgrade from Starter to Installer, Commercial EPC, or Enterprise, we'll credit 100% of your Starter license fee toward your upgrade purchase. Your data and configuration migrate seamlessly with zero downtime.
