Geography: Europe and North America
Industry: Integrated Solar Energy & Storage (EPC)
Team: 5-10 employees
Project Pipeline: ~€250m total, over €100m on a probability-weighted basis
Financial development
- The group has delivered close to €10m of revenue in a single year, demonstrating the scalability of the business model.
- Revenue is forecasted at €6m in 2026, €29m in 2027 and €38m in 2028, built bottom-up from the current pipeline rather than extrapolated from prior years.
- 2026 is largely covered by a secured order book. With the majority of 2027 covered by advanced opportunities, as part of a combined probability-weighted pipeline of over €100m.
- EBITDA margin 10-15%, with growth largely self funded through customer prepayments.
Investment highlights
- Leading niche-position: no direct competitor of comparable depth in floating solar for water basins. High barriers to entry through references, design capability and bankability.
- Structural sourcing advantage: direct factory access with exclusive and fully transferable supplier relationships, giving a material advantage on procurement.
- Dual use of space: installations sit on existing water basins and require no agricultural land, assets that are gaining value as seasonal water storage.
- Structural demand growth: grid congestion and the energy transition in horticulture make on-site generation and storage a necessity rather than a choice for growers.
- Asset light and cash generative: customers fund the working capital through staged prepayments, so growth requires little additional capital.
Transaction
- The current shareholders intend to transfer 100% of the shares.
- A new managing director recently took office, reducing founder dependency.
- Founders are willing to remain involved for an agreed period to ensure a careful handover.
- Suitable for a strategic buyer.
