יוצאת מהגראז': סולייט מביאה את אור השמש למשרד החשוך
Solight, an Israeli company, has developed a technology that brings natural sunlight into buildings, replacing artificial light and potentially saving up to 40% of electricity. The company also highlights the health benefits of exposure to natural light. Solight was founded in 2012 and has received funding from various sources, including the European Unions Horizon 2020 program and South Israel Bridge (SIBF II). The company is currently installing its technology in various locations in Israel and is looking to expand into the European market, where regulations requiring energy-neutral buildings by 2030 could provide a significant opportunity.
