Introduction to Greenlight Planet

Over a decade in business, the company is now a leading global brand in emerging markets across Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. Greenlight’s Sun King™ products provide modern light and energy to 32 million people in more than 60 countries and have sold over 8 million products worldwide.

Greenlight stays in touch with underserved consumers’ needs in part by operating its own direct- to-consumer sales network, including thousands of trusted sales agents (called “Sun King
Energy Officers”) in local communities across local communities. For Sun King Energy Officers, this is a good source of income and employment, and they become an essential member of their community bring light and catering to local energy needs within their communities.
