Company mission
To create a livable earth for all humans with the help of renewable energies.
Our take
The demand for green energy is soaring. Across Europe, homes are now being heated and powered by green, more sustainable energy sources and it’s something that is here to stay. However, until Zolar, installing residential solar systems was a logistical and regulatory headache for any eco-conscious homeowner.
Zolar is a digital platform for individual solar solutions tailored to the needs of modern homeowners for green energy. With a completely digital shopping experience, the greentech startup offers easy and digital access to photovoltaics - democratising the energy source in a unique way.
The startup is well positioned for growth, having recently secured substantial funding and launched zolar Easypad, a flexible financing solution for residential solar. This move supports zolar's mission to make solar energy more accessible while advancing its goal of supplying renewable energy to over 10M European households by 2030. It's an exciting time for the company and with strong financial backing as well as rising demand for sustainable solutions, its future is sure to be a bright one.
