What Streetleaf does

Streetleaf, founded in 2019 and headquartered in Tampa, Florida, designs, manufactures, and operates professional-grade solar-powered LED streetlights for residential developments, master-planned communities, municipalities, utilities, and HOAs across the United States. The product portfolio consists of three core hardware lines — AVE (single-lane/local roads), BLVD (collector/double-lane roads, introduced 2024), and PATH (solar bollards for area lighting) — all integrating bifacial solar panels, LiFePO4 lithium batteries with 5+ day autonomy, IoT-connected remote monitoring, motion-activated dimming, DarkSky-compliant shielding, and IP66/hurricane-rated (Cat 5, 160 mph) enclosures. The company has installed more than 14,500 lights across 21 Florida counties and additional states, with anchor customers including Lennar Homes, D.R. Horton, Forestar, Risewell Homes, Manatee County, and Tampa Electric (TECO). It operates a regional office in Atlanta opened in May 2026 and holds DarkSky, turtle-safe, AMA-compliant, and carbon-neutral certifications.

Streetleaf operates a dual revenue model. The primary stream is a recurring monthly service agreement (minimum 20 lights) under which Streetleaf finances, installs, monitors 24/7, and maintains the lights at zero upfront cost to the customer — bundling design, permitting, installation, IoT monitoring, and part replacement into a single subscription fee. The secondary stream is direct purchase of hardware with optional add-on services (~$700/light installation, $10/light/month for monitoring and maintenance). Go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales (regional market managers, account executives), channel partnerships through national vendor agreements with the largest U.S. homebuilders, utility-provider partnerships, a self-serve online ordering flow, and event-driven community initiatives such as the Shine on Florida campaign. Distribution is reinforced by strategic wins including the January 2026 Lennar national vendor agreement, the February 2025 Forestar/D.R. Horton national agreement, and a May 2026 partnership with a major Georgia utility provider coinciding with the Atlanta office opening. Leadership includes CEO Liam Ryan (Cornell, economics) and CTO John Vo (appointed November 2025 from Form Energy and Tesla), the first new C-level hire since founding.

Revenue model

1. Monthly Service Agreement (No Upfront Cost): Under the service agreement model, Streetleaf installs, monitors, and maintains solar streetlights at zero upfront cost to the customer. Customers pay a small monthly service fee covering project design, permitting assistance, installation, 24/7 monitoring, ongoing maintenance, and part replacements. This model requires a minimum of 20 lights. It is the primary revenue model and aligns with a land-and-expand motion where customers start with one project and expand to additional communities.
2. Direct Purchase of Streetlights: Customers can purchase streetlights upfront with optional add-on services. Add-on services include installation ($700/light) and 24/7 monitoring with dashboard access and routine maintenance ($10/light/month). Customers may also self-manage installation and maintenance.
