About
SunFunder is a solar finance business based in San Francisco and Tanzania with a mission to unlock capital for solar energy in emerging markets, where over 2.5 billion people live without access to reliable energy. We aggregate capital through the Solar Empowerment Fund, a private debt offering that gives Accredited Investors an opportunity to invest in a diversified, vetted and high-impact portfolio of off-grid and grid deficit solar projects. With this capital, we provide short-term inventory and project finance loans to leading solar energy companies to help them scale deployments of solar energy systems and catalyze growth in the sector. SunFunder has financed $2 million of solar projects, with 16 solar companies in 6 countries, and maintains a zero percent default rate. This has helped over 250,000 people get access to affordable solar energy. In the next five years SunFunder aims to raise and deploy $1 billion into solar projects around the world.
