Crypto-enabled solar leasing platform Sun Exchange raises $3 million for expansion
Sun Exchange, the South African peer-to-peer, crypto-enabled solar leasing platform, has raised $3 million in fresh funding.
London-based private equity firm ARCH Emerging Markets Partners’ Africa Renewable Energy Fund invested the amount, marking the close of a $4 million Series A by Sun Exchange.
With the fresh capital in place, Sun Exchange plans to expand its services across Sub-Saharan Africa, grow its membership base, and hire more staff. The startup allows its members to own solar cells and sell the generated electricity to businesses and organizations such as schools, clinics, farms, and water plants.
