Heliose, founded in 2021 and based in Park City, UT, operates a digital platform designed to revolutionize the US residential solar market. The platform aggregates consumers, lenders, and installers into a real-time, 50-state solution aimed at making solar energy more accessible and affordable. The US residential solar market is currently underpenetrated, with only 3% of single-family homes utilizing solar energy, despite nearly 80% of rooftops being suitable for solar installations. Heliose addresses this gap by reducing the average cost of solar systems, which currently stands at $37,500, by eliminating $18,000 in bloated soft costs. These costs are often passed onto buyers by installers, making solar energy prohibitively expensive for many homeowners. By leveraging a smarter, customer-centered approach, Heliose aims to cut these costs by 50% within the next 24 months and reduce the average post-sale installation time from 60 days to less than 72 hours. The platform simplifies the often confusing and opaque process of switching to solar, providing homeowners with multiple quotes in a fraction of the time it traditionally takes. Heliose's business model focuses on creating value for homeowners by offering a streamlined, cost-effective solution for solar installations, thereby accelerating the adoption of solar energy in the US. The company generates revenue through a combination of service fees from lenders and installers, as well as potential subscription models for enhanced platform features.
