Our investee Freyr Energy believes that going solar should be easy and fast. As such, the Indian company offers a solution that is cleaner, safer and cheaper than traditional forms of electricity which are not only polluting the environment, but are getting costlier by the day.

With over 250 channel partners across India, Freyr accommodates customers from pre-sales to post installation. Each partner uses the same intuitive App during the sales process, SunPro. The mobile application helps the team to capture all key aspects within 15 minutes, such as the customer's energy requirement, shadow-free space available on roof, local state policies, precise local solar radiation, availability of grid & existing backing system in their premises and customer's budget.
