Solar is leading the energy revolution.

Unprecedented Growth Potential

The solar energy sector is experiencing rapid expansion, fuelled by global efforts to combat climate change and the increasing competitiveness of solar technologies. As countries and corporations set ambitious renewable energy targets, solar power is poised to become a cornerstone of the global energy mix.

Economic Viability and Incentives

Solar is now cheaper than traditional fossil fuels. This cost competitiveness, coupled with government incentives, tax benefits, and subsidies, enhances the financial viability of projects. Advancing technology continues to decrease costs, driving profitability and reducing the financial risk, providing a more stable and predictable cash flow.

Sustainable and Social Impact

Solar projects reduce carbon footprints, combat climate change, and promote energy independence. This alignment with environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria enhances the attractiveness of solar investments to a broader range of investors, including those looking to make a positive impact and achieving financial returns whilst invested in the Portugal Golden Visa.

Process and thesis

Our investment strategy is designed to match your Golden Visa aspirations.

01
Market Timing

Solar energy has reached a tipping point where, in many regions, it is now cheaper than traditional fossil fuels, making it an economically attractive option for energy generation. This cost competitiveness, coupled with government incentives, tax benefits, and subsidies in various countries, enhances the financial viability of solar projects.

02
Predictable returns

Solar energy investments yield predictable returns due to stable sunlight patterns, advanced PV technology, and long panel lifespans. Fixed upfront costs, low operational expenses, and supportive regulatory frameworks ensure clear, long-term financial outcomes, making solar a reliable investment choice.

03
Geographic Diversification

The Golden Visa program allows for 40% of investors capital to be invested outside of Portugal. We invest across Portugal, Europe and the US to enable geographic, jurisdictional and fx exposure.

04
Asset Diversification

We provide a finance facility solution to solar developers that is a blend of collateralised debt and equity across different deployment strategies, including Utility Scale Solar, Energy as a Service, Battery Storage and Merchant Plant Models.

05
Ease of Liquidation

Large capital allocators seek stabilized, cash-yielding assets, driving our strategy to cultivate a portfolio of profitable solar assets. The high demand for renewable energy, combined with the liquidity of solar investments, ensures that these assets can be efficiently bundled and sold, providing a seamless exit strategy for our investors. This approach not only meets the financial objectives of capital allocators but also aligns with the global shift towards sustainable investments, making it a compelling option for those ready to transition out of the program.

06
Climate resilient

Solar energy stands as a climate-resilient investment because it leverages the inexhaustible power of the sun. Low water usage, decentralized deployment, durable designs and advancements in PV technology ensure consistent energy production even as global climate patterns shift.

Investing via eligible funds is the primary route for entry into the program. Real estate is no longer a qualifying investment option.

Having successfully raised and invested our first fund in technology and energy companies in the U.S. and Portugal in 2023, we are actively raising a restricted €50M solar renewables fund, Solar Future Fund, which will close for new subscriptions at the end of 2024.

Why Funds?

Funds offer the lowest friction for investors.

Our strategy is focussed on capital security and a competitive return. We seek to hit singles, not home runs.

  • A secure asset class that is not subject to fluctuations. Think contracts, tailwinds, and not reliant on variable inputs.
  • Diversification of the portfolio, your capital spread across numerous projects to manage risk exposure.
  • Collateralised investments that generate a cash yield for you.
  • Clear liquidation at the end of the term.

Our last projects we invest in
Fortios Renewable Energy Community (REC)

Fortios Renewable Energy Community (REC)

The Anchor Client, Associação dos Amigos da Terceira Idade dos Fortios, has successfully implemented two RECs. The first project is a 24.75 kWp solar power installation at the Centro Infantil (kindergarden), which achieves carbon-positive status and supports 13 families. The installation is projected to produce approximately 40 MWh of clean energy annually, reducing the carbon footprint by 10 metric tons of CO2 equivalent. The second, larger-scale project is a 99.55 kWp solar power installation at Lar, a retirement home, with a reduction of 39 metric tons of CO2 equivalent in carbon emissions. It benefits 64 families through the community's social tariff. Both projects are operational as of Q4 2023.
