Rooftop solar on a monthly plan, installed in a day
Households pay more each year for unreliable grid power, but a solar system costs a year's income to buy outright.
Solara Home installs panels and a battery for no money down and charges a monthly fee lower than the old electricity bill.
Home owners in cities with frequent power cuts and high tariffs.
Bottom-up: about 30,000 customers like this in Pakistan and nearby, worth roughly $240 million a year at our prices.
What people use today
Mostly spreadsheets, phone calls and doing nothing. The established suppliers sell to large organisations and are too expensive and too slow to set up for the customers we serve.
Why this team wins
Ayesha was an electrical engineer at a utility before selling solar door to door, so the team knows the buyers by name. Bilal built the core technology, and the first customers came by referral.
2,800 active users, growing 8% a month
Ayesha knows the customer and has sold to them before; Bilal has built this kind of system at scale. We have worked side by side since before Solara Home had a name.
