Story SolarCity is featuring a new character in it’s most recent batch of ads and, spoiler alert, it’s a ancient deity with the head of a falcon. That’s right, America’s number one solar provider has teamed up with Arnold Worldwide and Ra, the Egyptian sun god, to remind everyone that a company with serious clean energy goals can still have a sense of humor.
The new campaign features the fowl-faced sun god helping out around the house – vacuuming, trimming the hedges and powering reading lamps. And while the visuals are otherworldly, the message is simple: Put the infinite power of the sun to work and save. Because, at the end of the day, that’s what SolarCity is all about.
To bring this environmentally-conscious deity to life Arnold turned to Hungry Man’s Conor Byrne, a Cannes Young Director Award winner and two-time 2015 Cannes Lion recipient. Conor’s ability to ground the fantastical in every day settings was a perfect fit for the supernaturally routine world that Arnold and SolarCity were attempting to construct.
