Aurora Solar Brings a Touch of Elegance to Your Home with the "Glass Spirits Decanter"

Portland, OR – October 26, 2023 – You might know Aurora Solar as the folks helping homes go solar, but did you know they’ve also been quietly crafting beautiful, high-quality home goods? Today, Aurora Solar is thrilled to officially launch their first consumer product: the “Glass Spirits Decanter.” This isn’t your grandpa’s dusty old decanter. This is a modern, stylish piece designed to elevate your home bar and enhance your drinking experience. For years, Aurora Solar, based right here in Portland at 2701 NW Vaughn St, Suite 300, has been laser-focused on the renewable energy sector. They’re the leading platform for remote solar design and sales, powering over 300,000 solar projects across the US and Canada. But the team at Aurora, many of whom are design enthusiasts, realized their skills in precision, materials science, and visual modeling could be applied to create something beyond solar panels. “We’ve been tinkering with this idea for a while,” explains Aurora Solar’s Head of Innovation, Sarah Chen. “At Aurora Solar, we’re all about precision and clarity – taking complex information and making it beautifully understandable. We wanted to bring that same philosophy to the way people enjoy their favorite spirits. We thought, why not create a decanter that’s not just functional, but a real statement piece?” And a statement piece it is. The Glass Spirits Decanter isn't about hiding your liquor; it’s about celebrating it. Forget those heavy, ornate decanters that feel like they belong in a museum. This decanter is sleek, minimalist, and designed to showcase the color and clarity of your whiskey, rum, gin, or whatever you fancy. So, what makes this decanter special? Firstly, the glass. Aurora Solar didn't just grab any old glass. They went with high-quality, lead-free crystal that’s both durable and stunning. It’s thick enough to feel substantial in your hand, but clear enough to let the color of your spirit shine through. “We wanted something that felt good, looked good, and wasn’t going to shatter if someone bumped into it,” says Chen with a laugh. Secondly, the shape. Forget those bulbous, overly-decorated designs. The Glass Spirits Decanter boasts a clean, modern silhouette – a gently curved body that’s both elegant and practical. It’s wide enough at the base for stability, but narrow enough to fit comfortably on a bar cart or shelf. The wide mouth makes pouring easy and avoids spills. “We spent a lot of time modeling different shapes,” explains David Lee, a senior designer at Aurora Solar who spearheaded the product development. “We wanted something that wasn’t just visually appealing, but also optimized for aeration. The shape helps to open up the aromas of the spirit, enhancing the overall drinking experience.” Thirdly, the versatility. While designed with spirits in mind, this decanter isn’t limited to just whiskey or rum. It’s perfect for displaying and serving anything from aged balsamic vinegar to olive oil, or even as a beautiful vase for a single stem flower. From Solar to Spirits: Leveraging Innovation It might seem like a leap from designing solar software to creating home goods, but the team at Aurora Solar sees a lot of common ground. “At our core, we’re problem solvers,” says Aurora Solar CEO, Michael Grasso. “We look at a challenge – in this case, the need for a beautiful and functional decanter – and we apply our skills in design, engineering, and manufacturing to create a solution. It's about taking a thoughtful approach and paying attention to every detail.” The design process actually benefitted from some of the technology they use for solar design. 3D modeling software allowed them to visualize the decanter from every angle, experiment with different shapes, and refine the design before even creating a physical prototype.
