Reflect Orbital is shaking up the internet with a mind-blowing concept that sounds like it’s straight out of a sci-fi flick. Imagine this: you’re chilling in the dead of night, and bam – you can order sunlight directly to your location from your cell phone. Yep, you heard that right.
This satellite company wants to sell sunlight—at night.
Meet Reflect Orbital. They are developing a constellation of satellites to sell sunlight to thousands of solar farms—after dark.

This company has come up with an app that promises to deliver actual sunlight, reflected off a satellite, right to your place. Think of it as ordering a pizza, but instead of pepperoni, you get a beam of sunshine. The simulated video they’ve dropped shows this concept in action, and it’s got everyone buzzing.
The video production use case for night shoots is incredible. We will HOPEFULLY be deploying this in 2025, fingers crossed.@reflectorbital pic.twitter.com/U9ANByexLG

Here’s the deal – they’re still ironing out the details and getting everything ready for a public launch. But the idea? Genius. Need a little extra light for that late-night study session or want to brighten up your party after dark? Reflect Orbital’s got you covered.
So, while we’re all waiting for the day we can order sunlight like we do with takeout, let’s just marvel at how wild the future is looking. Reflect Orbital might just be onto something that’ll make every night a little brighter.
