We’re incredibly proud to share that Raya Power has successfully completed the Pre18 Accelerator by Parallel18—Puerto Rico’s premier program for early-stage startups—and we’re walking away with more momentum than ever.
Over the course of the program, we’ve had the opportunity to deepen our roots in Puerto Rico, connect with an amazing network of founders, mentors, and partners, and refine our product with real feedback from the communities we’re building for. As a company on a mission to make solar radically more accessible, this time on the ground has been invaluable.
To top it all off, we were honored with two big wins:
-
A Fast Pass into the international Parallel18 program, unlocking an additional $40K in non-dilutive funding
-
The Aeronet Internet Prize, recognizing our potential to scale and innovate across the island

We’re so grateful to the entire Parallel18 team and our fellow cohort members for making us feel at home, and to the many Puerto Rican community leaders who’ve welcomed us with open arms. This is just the beginning—our vision for community-powered solar is stronger than ever.
¡Vamos! ☀️
