Stardust Solar has officially begun commercial distribution of StarDroid, an AI‐enabled residential energy optimization device developed in partnership with MarkeDroid OÜ. The launch follows a sponsorship by the Low Carbon Business Action Canada program and the European Union, with the device designed to analyze household load patterns, solar generation and battery availability. StarDroid automates battery arbitrage and flexibility-based optimization, targeting a 10–15% increase in household energy savings and a comparable improvement in long‐term system efficiency for residential solar and storage installations.

Under a performance-linked royalty framework, Stardust Solar secures both an initial hardware margin and a 25% share of subscription fees for each deployed device. At a $20 monthly subscription, this equates to $5 per device per month over an expected 25‐year operating life. With a deployment target exceeding 10,000 devices across Canada and the United States, the program could generate recurring, high‐margin revenues of approximately $1.5 million annually in subscription royalties once the initial network is online.

Stardust Solar holds exclusive marketing and distribution rights for StarDroid across Canada and the United States under a five-year term, with white-label branding under the StarDroid name. The agreement secures territory exclusivity through January 2031 and includes provisions for joint marketing initiatives, customer support training and co-development of future firmware updates to enhance device performance and customer retention rates.

Management views StarDroid as a cornerstone of Stardust Solar’s evolving asset-light business model, focusing on scalable, royalty-style revenue initiatives. CEO Mark Tadros highlighted that the device complements existing licenses, training programs and franchise contributions, reinforcing the Company’s aim to derive more than 60% of total revenues from recurring and royalty-based sources by 2028. This strategy is expected to improve earnings durability, reduce capital intensity and support a targeted compound annual royalty revenue growth rate of 20% over the next three years.
