Company Overview

Elecyr makes the solar revolution possible. We combine our advanced software with custom components to create an all-inclusive solar package anyone can install by themselves. We call it The Daily Sun.

The solar revolution is incomplete without a way to store energy during the night or stormy weather. So far, any attempt at solving this problem has proved to be unsustainable. Rooftop solar paired with lithium energy storage is the only path to true energy independence.

Elecyr has the solution: a complete solar package so simple it can be built anywhere on the globe yet so advanced we guarantee it for 25 years.

Meet The Elecyr Daily Sun, the first truly-modular energy storage system.

The Daily Sun is the perfect building block for a system of any size from a little bit of emergency power to a community DC microgrid. Modularity not only means that each unit can take care of itself but that all units in a large system will be able to function as one.

To accomplish this, we use software to provide management, data logging and automatic emergency shutdown. Each unit includes Bluetooth BLE which means The Daily Sun can communicate with your phone or computer to provide you with live information about your home. We also play well with other smart devices and provide integration with Google Nest or third party appliances like inverters or generators.

We use existing infrastructure and technology to build custom components, which means manufacturing The Daily Sun doesn't require a specialized factory. All components can be shipped to an independent assembly plant where local labor earns enough domestic content to avoid import tariffs.

To make this happen, we've hand-selected a network of international solar professionals who posses the skills to assemble our products, the connections to import components and the access to a captive, engaged customer base. By distributing our manufacturing structure, we inject stability into our supply chain along with a comfortable profit margin. This allows Elecyr to focus on constant improvements to the secret ingredient: the software.

The Daily Sun

A complete solar power package that includes solar panels, energy storage and an inverter. To assemble simply hook up to the adhesive solar panels, connect your smart phone via Bluetooth and plug in the appliances you want to power.

One Daily Sun can power an air conditioner to cool a room continuously for an entire day. Multiple units can work together in a DC microgrid to power the whole home or an entire community. Our software does all the maintenance for you and it does it so well that Elecyr guarantees the Daily Sun for 25-years.

The software can communicate with Smart Home systems such as Google Nest or feed information to commercial power management systems.
