Problem
Traditional solar and battery installations require expensive professional design, lengthy permitting processes, and significant home modifications, making them inaccessible for renters and cost‑conscious consumers. High upfront costs and regulatory barriers limit widespread adoption of clean energy solutions.
Solution
Raya offers a modular, integrated solar‑plus‑storage system that delivers 1.35 kW of generation and 2.5 kWh of battery capacity in a plug‑and‑play pod. The units connect directly to appliances, automatically blend with grid power when solar output drops, and prioritize solar usage to reduce electricity bills. Installation requires no permits or structural changes, allowing deployment on balconies, patios, or other rental‑friendly locations. The system is portable, so users can relocate or sell the pods as they save, and financing options lower the entry price to around $7 k. By aggregating many pods, Raya can also participate in virtual power plant (VPP) programs to further offset costs.
Target Audience
Raya targets renters, apartment dwellers, and homeowners seeking an affordable, low‑maintenance solar solution, as well as small businesses with limited installation space.
