What is Yeloha?
Yeloha is a solar sharing platform that builds a digital subscription network on top of the existing utility grid. It installs solar panels on rooftops of Sun Hosts and connects them with subscribers who receive energy credits to reduce their electric bills, making solar energy accessible without the need for personal installation.
