The energy transition is not a plan for the future, it’s the mission we must carry out now. This year has proved it already, with Europe overwhelmed with heat waves and shadowed by energy insecurity. SunRoof is on a mission of not only helping homeowners fulfill their own needs, but also contributing to the future clean energy infrastructure. I’m delighted that Klima is joining us as an investor and as a partner. The Klima team has already supported us in establishing relationships with strategic partners, who will help us to further develop and deliver an end-to-end decentralised and smart energy system to our customers across Europe,
says Lech Kaniuk, CEO & Co-Founder of SunRoof.
Housing and transportation electrification will be key to accelerate the energy transition, and we expect decentralized solar to play a significant role to enable this. For re-roofing and new built applications, the integrated solutions of SunRoof are an economical and environmental no brainer and this represents a multi billion addressable market. We are glad to partner with the very experienced and ambitious management team of Sunroof to power the houses and commercial buildings of the future,
says Lucille Bonnet, Managing Partner at Alantra Energy Transition.
