The Pricing page in Sales Mode is where reps review and adjust the price for each design. Depending on the permissions and pricing methods your account admin has configured, you can change the pricing method, adjust the base price per watt, apply adders and discounts, manage incentives, and set the storage price.

| Note: The options available to you on the Pricing page depend on the pricing methods and permissions your account admin has configured in Settings > Pricing defaults. If a pricing method or field isn't visible, contact your admin. |
| Design Mode: The same Pricing page and all the adjustments described in this article are also available in Design Mode. Changes made in either mode are reflected in both. |
Accessing the Pricing page
- Open a project and launch Sales Mode.
- In the top navigation bar, click the $ (Pricing) icon.
The left panel shows two key values:
- System base price per watt — the current base PPW for the solar system.
- Storage component total — the current total storage price (visible only when a battery is included in the design).
Editing the system price
To change the pricing method or base price for the solar system:
- On the Pricing page, click the pencil icon next to System base price per watt in the left panel.
- In the Edit price modal, select a Pricing method from the dropdown:
- Price per watt — enter a base PPW amount. The system cost is calculated as PPW × STC system size in watts.
- Flat price — enter a total system price as a fixed currency amount.
- Price per component — system price is calculated automatically from component prices set in the Database. The Component total field is read-only and shows the sum of all component prices × quantities. Components include modules, inverters, DC optimizers, combiner boxes, load centers, disconnects, service panels, and meters.
- Click Save.
| Note: The pricing methods available in the dropdown are controlled by your account admin in Settings > Pricing defaults. If only one method is enabled, the dropdown will not appear. |
Editing the storage price
If your design includes battery storage, you can set the storage price separately from the system price.
- On the Pricing page, click the pencil icon next to Storage component total in the left panel.
- In the Edit storage price modal, select a Pricing method:
- Battery price — storage price is calculated from the battery unit price × quantity as set in the Database. The Storage component total field is read-only.
- Flat storage price — enter a total storage cost as a fixed currency amount. This option may not be available depending on your admin permission settings.
- Click Save.
| Note: Adders, discounts, and energy optimizer (EO) costs are applied as adjustments on top of the storage base price you set here — they are not included in the Storage component total figure. |
Applying adders and discounts
Adders and discounts are line items configured by your account admin that increase or reduce the system price.
- On the Pricing page, click the Adders or Discounts tab in the left panel.
- Toggle on any item you want to apply to this design.
- If an item has an editable amount, a dollar field will appear — enter the amount.
- If an item has an editable quantity, enter the quantity in the field provided.
For more information on how adders and discounts work, see Adders and discounts.
Managing incentives
Incentives are applied manually in Sales Mode. Aurora does not auto-apply incentives — you select which ones apply to each project from the available list configured by your admin.
- Click the Incentives tab in the left panel.
- Click Add Incentive to open the dropdown listing all incentives currently enabled in your account.
- Select an incentive to apply it. Applied incentives appear in the pricing summary with their total value in today's dollars over the life of the project.
- To remove an incentive, toggle it off.
For more information on incentive types and configuration, see Incentives.
Understanding PPW calculations
If your admin has enabled the Show PPW dropdown setting, you'll see a PPW breakdown next to the Gross PPW figure in the top bar. Click it to expand four calculations:
| PPW value | What it includes |
| Base PPW | The price per watt of the solar system only — base price ÷ system size in watts. |
| System PPW with storage | Base price + adders, discounts, energy optimizations, incentives, and storage. |
| Gross PPW without storage | Base price + adders, discounts, energy optimizations, incentives, and any dealer or service fees associated with the loan. |
| Gross PPW with storage | Same as Gross PPW without storage, plus storage costs. |
| Note: Gross PPW includes dealer and service fees associated with the selected loan product. This means Gross PPW will be higher than Base PPW whenever a loan with a dealer fee is selected. For more detail on how dealer fees are calculated, see Loan Dealer Fee. |
