Investment
We can provide loans of $500k to $30m+ for companies ranging from global leaders to earlier-stage pioneers, in a wide range of clean energy and climate sectors, including distributed solar, storage, energy efficiency, low-carbon cooling, e-mobility, climate-smart agriculture and other innovative technologies.
Structuring and syndications
We have advised and led syndications for a range of companies, developing the right financing structures and minimizing the fundraising burden for our clients. We have secured co-investments from peers including responsAbility, Triodos and Oikocredit.
What we look for
We are a debt provider, and as such are looking for companies that have audited financials and at least 2 years of operational track record. We do not invest equity.
Mirova SunFunder can invest in companies and projects working in a broad range of clean energy and climate sectors, including manufacturers, distributors, developers and EPCs in segments that include off-grid solar, mini-grids, productive use, C&I solar, telecom ESCO, energy storage and efficiency, low-carbon cooling, e-mobility and climate-smart agriculture.
We require you to have Environmental, Social and Governance policies in place – and can help you implement them if you don’t – and require off-grid solar companies to have committed to the GOGLA Consumer Protection Code.
