Non-correlated
Return

Solar power from business rooftops in emerging markets generates a healthy return, uncorrelated to the US stock market.

Maximize your
Impact

A lack of capital in emerging markets inhibits renewables deployment, despite a compelling business case. We believe your capital can help fill this key gap in under-invested regions.

Loans are Backed
by Hard Assets

Our projects are secured through ownership of solar panels, inverters and commissioning equipments. In case of default, we can relocate or sell the solar plant to recover the investment.

Invest in a Diversified
Solar Portfolio

Our team has extensive experience funding and deploying solar plants in emerging markets. Your investment spreads your money and risk across a portfolio of carefully sourced, curated and verified solar projects.

How it works

We find customers who want to switch to solar...

...if they can save money vs. what they currently pay for their (largely coal powered) electricity.

We help finance the switch to solar...

...Financing helps spread the upfront cost of solar over time. The better the financing terms, the lower the monthly cost. If the monthly cost of solar falls well below what our customers currently pay, they are eager to switch.

You invest...

Your money adds to the pool of financing for our solar projects. Projects listed here may already be in a portfolio or about to receive an investment. Your loan may fund a new plant, or support an existing funding need which frees up capital for a new plant.

You earn a return while accelerating clean energy

We start repaying your loan in monthly installments, 30 days after your investment is finalized. You can instantly withdraw that money or re-deploy it into more solar projects!
