Members' capital builds Photon's plants, and the energy they generate becomes credit on the power bill of those who consume it. No rooftop work, regulated by Law 14.300.
The discount is the same for every member, whatever their number of quotas, and applies to the energy compensated. Approximate values: real savings depend on your consumption, the utility and the tariff flags. Reference tariff: R$0.92/kWh.

Who we are
Photon invests in, builds and operates solar plants to generate clean, affordable energy through the cooperative model. We combine financial strength with a smart digital experience, offering innovative solutions and software that make the customer's relationship with energy simple.
To lead the smart energy transition, redefining society's relationship with energy through technology, sustainability and cooperation.
Our infrastructure is our foundation. We build, operate and maintain our plants to the highest engineering and safety standards, ensuring stable, lasting energy generation.
We optimize every resource, from the solar panel to the code of our software. We believe true sustainability only happens when combined with lean operations and financial viability.
Technology only makes sense if it improves people's lives. We design our products and interfaces with an absolute focus on user experience, making energy management simple, intuitive and accessible.
We don't stop at green talk. We work with our own resources and deliver for real. Our model proves, in practice and in numbers, that our ecosystem works and creates tangible value for our members.
Every member is an investor. Those who also consume use the energy from the cooperative's plants as credit on their own power bill.
You pay in share capital to Photon, and all of that capital becomes plants, built at cost price in investment cycles. The plant belongs to the cooperative: you co-own the cooperative, with a vote in the general assembly.
Capital may be remunerated within the limits of the law and the bylaws.
Investors have priority to use the plants' energy as the cooperative's service. The discount is the same for everyone,
Each compensated kWh offsets your consumption. Any surplus is kept for up to 60 months.
We operate under Law 14.300/2022, ANEEL's regulations and Law 5.764/71 on cooperatives.
All of Photon's capital becomes plants. Each project is an investment cycle that builds a plant at cost price, with no margin, and the plant belongs to the cooperative. The figures come straight from the capital register and the monitoring.

Solar energy goes into the utility's grid.

Your bill shows the credits
The utility reports the compensated kWh on the power bill itself.
The dashboard shows the generation
In the member's dashboard you follow the plant, the credits and the payments.
The cooperative's accounts are open
Annual general assemblies and accountability to every member.
Each new plant is born from a capitalization cycle: a capital goal, a deadline and a project. That's how Photon grows without changing its structure for every plant.
Paying in
Members pay in share capital for the cycle, which has a fundraising goal and deadline.
Goal reached
The cycle activates on the day it reaches its goal. That date applies to every member in the cycle.
6-month grace period
The cooperative buys the equipment, builds, connects and gets the plant approved.
Plant in operation
The plant joins the cooperative's assets, not each member's.
Shared generation
The energy becomes credit on consumer members' power bills.
If the goal isn't reached in time, the cycle closes and the amounts are refunded under the bylaws and the cycle rules.

On the capital paid in
Share capital may be remunerated under the bylaws and the law, up to 12% a year. It isn't guaranteed and doesn't depend on how much you consume.
On the operations
The positive result of operations, after the legal allocations, is shared according to each member's participation and approved by the general assembly. It can arrive as a credit on your bill.
Capital remuneration and surplus depend on the results and on the general assembly.
Everything Photon does is written in law. Credit compensation is regulated, and the cooperative is accountable to its members.
Law 14.300/2022 regulates distributed generation and credit compensation between consumer units.
We follow ANEEL's resolutions on connection, metering and energy compensation.
Photon is a cooperative (Law 5.764/71): every member co-owns the cooperative and votes in the general assembly.
