02 · the hardware
Your roof is a power plant.
Twenty square meters of quiet silicon, out-working a utility that hasn't smiled since 1987. No fuel. No invoice. No hold music.

the grid's cut of your afternoon: shrinking
$0/ forever
no contract. no terms of service. no small print.
These numbers are wired to the sun up there. Drag it around — the little dial in the corner works from anywhere.
03 · the paperwork
Your other bill, itemized.
The average household pays about $1,500 a year for a grid that fails in every storm. The sun's rate card: $0. Forever. No terms of service.
Below: a completely real invoice. Raise the sun and watch it become a campfire story.

04 · after dark
The grid sleeps. You don't worry.
At dusk the windows warm up one by one, the battery clears its throat, and the house runs on stored afternoon. Storm knocks the grid out? That's the utility's problem now — wait. It's nobody's problem.
Drag the sun below the horizon and watch the night shift clock in.
05 · the point
Sovereignty is measured in kilowatt‑hours too.
Own your keys. Own your data. Own your noon. The system meters everything it can reach — so build things it can't. The sun has been giving it away for 4.6 billion years. Take the deal.
Sour Labs — sweet tools, sour to the system. 🍋
