About Us

Our Mission

Climate change is the single biggest threat to our world, and CO2 is the main cause. The energy sector contributes 40% of global CO2 emissions. If we are going to limit global temperature rises, then we need to dramatically reduce CO2 emissions quickly.

Subsolar’s mission is to facilitate the green energy transition by enabling grid-connected renewable energy at the lowest possible cost. By focusing our attention on countries with an energy deficit, we are creating new capacity in a way that is clean, green, and affordable.

We work closely with the communities in which we operate to develop bespoke community programmes that ensure we protect the local way of life and provide opportunities and benefits for those who live and work close by.

Renewable energy technology has improved significantly in the last decade, becoming cheaper and more reliable. We aim to have more than 1GW of solar projects close to completion by the end of 2026, ramping up to 8GW by the end of 2030.

More than a Decade of Experience

Subsolar has been developing renewable energy plants since 2010. We have offices in South Africa, the Netherlands, and Sweden, and have developed more than 120 large-scale renewable energy projects in the last 15 years.

In Africa, we have over 140MW of our solar developments in operation in South Africa, and over 500MW is expected to reach CoD by the end of 2025, followed by 1000MW by the end of 2026.

In 2019, Subsolar opened its first office in Sweden and has developed some of the country’s largest renewable energy projects. Our Skurup project was Sweden’s largest solar power plant from 2021 to 2025. As of mid-2025, there are 4 plants in operation by Subsolar in Sweden. Our aim as always is to bring the benefits of renewable energy to the local community whilst protecting the land, the people, and the local environment.

In Sweden, we have built up a strong relationship with the local regions to make sure our projects fit well with their targets and strategies.

Invest with us

We strive to be the partner of choice for large electricity users and the preferred IPP for investors.

Our Purpose

Climate change is the single biggest threat to our world as we know it, with CO2 emissions as the main cause for increasing greenhouse levels in the atmosphere; the energy sector contributes 40% of these global CO2 emissions.

For every 150MW renewable energy project installed, we can save 350k tons of carbon dioxide and create thousands of jobs. We have the tools we need to put a stop to climate change, and thanks to a huge amount of investment and development, these tools are now the cheapest way to generate electricity. The benefits of renewable energy are clear, and the opportunities are abundant. Subsolar is well placed to make those opportunities a reality.

Our expert team of financiers, lawyers, energy specialists, and project managers provides a fully integrated approach to developing, building, and operating renewable energy projects. We have a track record in successfully navigating complex projects and want to use our expertise to support the transition to a global clean energy system.

We need to reduce CO2 emissions in order to avoid runaway climate change. Join us in this challenge.
