Our take
Rising electricity prices and increasing demand have led to renewable energy adoption to rapidly become mainstream, however obtaining a home solar power system can be complicated, time-consuming, and expensive. With a mission to bring affordable green energy to everyone, Enpal provides homeowners with an all-in-one solar solution that is both easy and affordable.
The company rents out solar power systems, saving customers from paying high acquisition costs and instead paying a flat monthly rental fee for their customised solar solution that covers all costs (including planning, installation, maintenance, and more), and includes a green electricity tariff.
The company also has a partnership with the UK investment manager M&G, which is recently strengthened with a €700M joint warehouse for residential solar and heating loans. By strengthening this partnership, Enpal has put itself in good footing to expand its services even further.
