Until now, renewable energy has been the domain of large financial institutions. We want to fix that. We want every investor to benefit by investing for good. Your money makes affordable capital available for renewable energy in emerging markets. You generate a 6% APY return by lending money. We are on-site, working closely with people buying solar power helping them transition to clean energy.
We build a managed portfolio of renewable energy assets. You get to fund solar projects in underserved markets, generating a return and a ton of impact. Here are some key features of investing with us.
Interest and principal are repaid monthly. View our repayment calculator here.
10 year loan period matches the return profile of solar plants.
We welcome investments as low as $100. We deploy your investment into a pool of capital that we use to fund SME solar projects across emerging markets.
Repayments are generated from existing cash flows and projects which are either live or about to go live.
Our local partners are responsible for developing, managing, and maintaining the asset over its lifetime while we manage your funds.
