Sell your surplus to your street

For years, the deal for solar households has been lopsided. You export precious clean energy to the grid and receive a feed-in tariff worth a few cents, only to buy energy back hours later at many times the price. Peer-to-peer energy trading rewrites that bargain. With Helios Horizon, your surplus sunshine can be sold directly into a fair, transparent local market where it is genuinely valued by the people who use it.

Imagine your midday excess flowing to a neighbour charging their car, or to the cafe down the road, rather than disappearing for a pittance. In return, you receive a fair price set by a clear, open marketplace, and your buyer pays less than they would for grid power. Everyone wins, the energy travels only a short distance, and the value stays within your community instead of leaking away to distant intermediaries.

A marketplace built on trust

Fairness only works when everyone can see how it works. Our trading platform shows you exactly what your energy is worth, who is buying it and how prices are set, with no hidden margins or mysterious deductions. Every transaction is logged transparently, so you can watch your surplus become real value in real time. This openness is the foundation of a market people actually trust, and trust is what turns a clever idea into a thriving community institution.

You stay firmly in control. Set a minimum price below which you would rather store your energy in your battery, prioritise selling to local schools or community groups, or simply let the platform find the best fair price automatically. The market bends to your values, not the other way around.

Local energy, local benefit

When energy is bought and sold close to where it is made, remarkable things happen. Transmission losses shrink because electrons travel shorter distances. The local grid grows more resilient, leaning on nearby generation rather than far-off power stations. And the money spent on power circulates within the neighbourhood, supporting households and small businesses instead of flowing out of the region. Your rooftop becomes a small engine of local prosperity.

What local trading offers you

• Fair, market-based value for your surplus solar energy
• Full transparency into prices, buyers and every transaction
• Control to set minimum prices and preferred local buyers
• Lower-cost clean power for neighbours who buy from you
• A more resilient grid that leans on local generation

Trading also knits households into a genuine community of producers and consumers, the foundation of a virtual power plant. When many homes coordinate their surplus, batteries and demand, the neighbourhood can act as a single flexible resource, smoothing peaks and steadying the grid in ways no individual home ever could. Your participation makes that collective strength possible, and you share in the rewards it generates.

We believe energy should be more than a commodity bought from afar. It should be a shared resource, fairly traded among the people who make and use it, lighting homes and strengthening bonds at the same time. Join the local market and let your sunshine work for your whole community, and for you.
