Power the world with your electric code
Light's platform lets you deliver grid electricity to a customer's home. Here you'll find all of the resources to make that happen.
Solutions
APIs
Build a custom API integration with your own UI on top of our endpoints. There are two APIs available:
App API
All endpoints that just need authorization with your app, like getting a user or plan details.
Account API
Endpoints that need user auth to complete actions on their behalf, like enrolling in a plan.
Embedded Flow
Embed scoped Light experiences in your app as modals or full-screen webviews. Best when customers should stay in your product for enrollment, billing, and other Embedded Flow scopes.
Dashboard
Manage your apps, tokens, and more within our dashboard. Also use the dashboard to test sandbox users.
Webhooks
Avoid the need for constant polling by receiving real-time notifications about events in the Light platform.
Light-Hosted Application
A full, branded customer dashboard experience using your website domain. Use it alongside Embedded Flow and Light-Hosted Flow.
