Batteries and solar for $0 upfront to help businesses save money
Vista designs, finances, installs, and manages energy storage and solar at commercial, industrial, and multifamily properties for $0 upfront, helping businesses save up to 30% on their energy bills. The founding team previously worked at SpaceX, Rocket Lab, NASA and Firefly.
Vista Power provides energy storage and solar solutions for commercial, industrial, and municipal properties with no upfront cost, aiming to reduce energy bills and provide backup power. The service combines battery energy storage and solar to cut costs, lower emissions, and offer reliable continuity during outages.
The offering delivers battery energy storage and solar power as a service, with no upfront capital expense. Vista Power manages hardware, installation, operations, and end-of-life, enabling customers to save on energy costs (up to ~30%) by charging the battery when electricity is cheap and discharging during expensive periods, while also providing 4+ hours of backup power and assisting in selecting favorable utility rates.

I care deeply about space, sustainability, and using economics and engineering to build a future worth living in for all humankind. In 2023, I co-founded Vista Power (fka. Vista Space) to help businesses use clean energy to save money on energy bills for $0 upfront. Previously, I worked on profit improvement at Starlink, built supply chain analytics tooling at Rocket Lab, and ran a software startup called Tour (acquired), which I co-founded in high school.
Our batteries let spacecraft have 2x the energy capacity or save 15-30% in volume
Vista Space develops Voltaris 1 structural batteries that replace spacecraft walls to both provide structural support and store energy, enabling double the energy capacity and 15-30% more usable volume without increasing size. They launch to space in February 2025 and offer early adopters pre-order benefits plus technical reviews.
