Overview
Aurora Solar is excited to announce a new financing integration with GoodLeap. You can now configure your GoodLeap account and connect it directly with your Aurora account within Sales Mode.
Once the integration has been configured within Aurora all of your GoodLeap loans will appear in Sales Mode as financing options. With this integration you can:
- Conduct a soft credit check on behalf of the homeowner and apply for a loan from Aurora’s Sales Mode quickly;
- Show the homeowner GoodLeap loan products in approved language;
- Say goodbye to manual data entry into the GoodLeap Portal, and the need to manually manage your GoodLeap products in Aurora.
Process Overview
- Step 1: You can submit a credit application within Aurora’s Sales Mode for your homeowner. Note, this will result in a soft credit pull only.
- Step 2: When the homeowner is approved for credit, the loan documents will be sent via email to the homeowner.
- Step 3: When the homeowner navigates to their email, they will see a link and click to navigate to the loan documents, and are able to apply for a loan within GoodLeap.
Who Is Eligible to Use the Aurora GoodLeap Integration
In order to use the GoodLeap integration please note that you must be in Aurora Sales Mode. This integration is only available to customers in the US making residential sales.
How to Become a GoodLeap Partner

How to Configure Your Account
*The following steps only need to be taken once to configure the GoodLeap integration and must be done by an account admin.
**Be sure to unfavorite any GoodLeap loans previously built out manually in your Aurora Database so there isn't redundancy with what's syncing from the GoodLeap portal.
1. Send an Email to GoodLeap Support
To start the process of configuring your GoodLeap account within Aurora you will need to send an email to the GoodLeap Support team. In the email, include your company’s name and GoodLeap ID (found in the URL of your GoodLeap portal).
Simply copy and paste this text below to email to the GoodLeap Support team:
Send To: GoodLeap Support team (apisupport@goodleap.com)
Hi GoodLeap Support Team,
We'd like to set up the Aurora <> GoodLeap integration.
Our company name is [insert company name], and our GoodLeap ID is [insert GoodLeap ID].
Thank you,

Set Up Advanced Configurations
Dealer Fees: A dealer fee is a % of the system cost that is added on top of the system cost and becomes the new financed amount. A dealer fee will always be recouped by GoodLeap. By clicking the toggle below you can choose to include the dealer fee in the loan amount that is sent to GoodLeap.
Submit a Credit Application
*Please note that once you’ve enabled the GoodLeap integration, you’ll be able to use this integration on previously created projects as well as new projects moving forward.
Navigate to “Financing” in Sales Mode within a specific design you've already created.
Make sure to select any adders, discounts, or incentives you’d like to add to the project. Then select your preferred GoodLeap loan from the drop down menu on the right side of the screen.
Make any adjustments to the financing proposal if needed or click on “Apply” to move forward. Then you’ll see the following screen.
In order to submit a credit application, you’ll need the following information from your homeowner:
- First name and last name*
- Email address
- Social Security information
- Income level
- Birth date
- Phone number (including area code)
- Address
- CPW
- Consumption information
- A completed site and system design
* Note that the name and information need to match the name on the Customer Loan Information Form. If they don't match, GoodLeap will not countersign the loan.
Once finalized, click “Submit” to submit the credit application. You'll then have the opportunity to confirm the name, email address, phone number, and address of the homeowner. Then click “Continue”.
