Sunflower Corporation (Daylighting) is a start-up company founded in 2004 and based in Boulder Colorado, USA. Sunflower develops natural daylighting technology for use in commercial spaces.^[1]

The company focuses on active daylighting systems (as opposed to passive daylighting systems), which give these systems the ability to make greater use of available daylight for a longer period of time throughout the day.^[2]

Sunflower Corporation was the recipient of a $25,000 grant from the Governor's Energy Office of Colorado, to bring its product, a "system that harvests sunlight and delivers it into interior spaces" to Colorado schools. Their patent pending technology is being considered by the state to be a 'key component' for a 'new push' in high-performance buildings.^[3]

• Their daylighting technology lights an 800–8,000 sf room with a single 24 inch roof penetration for most of the day.^[4]
• Their system uses a new active daylighting technology that is the only one of its kind on the market that will outperform skylights and light tubes by a factor of 4 or more.

Sunflower Corporation has been active in supporting various public organizations in Colorado. The company has donated a number of Sundolier units to local schools, including a unit given to Longmont High School in Longmont, CO.^[5] Additionally a unit was donated to the Phillip S. Miller Library in Douglas County, Colorado.^[6]
