To bring solar energy to European homeowners.

Our take

SolarMente was founded at a time when alternative energy sources are becoming an increasingly important asset to not only countries but individual homes too. Using software that controls storage and energy consumption, SolarMente successfully gained seed funding of €1.8 million in 2021.

Using blockchain technology to decentralise information in the renewable energy sector has been implemented by global companies for a few years now. Spanish companies such as Acciona Energy and Iberdrola use the UN’s Sustainable Develop Goals to help the country transition from fossil fuels. As far back as 2018, both have been using blockchain technology to verify the source of the energy they are farming to consumers. SolarMente cannot compete on the scale of these two companies, which have tens of thousands of employees over 5 continents, but its focus on individual homes may be the key to its success.

Energy consumption is both a global and personal crisis. SolarMente differs from large-scale companies in that it uses tech to empower the individual homeowner.
