This company revolves around the Sun. Pioneering business selling and installing solar panel systems (photovoltaic) for end-users in Minas Gerais, Brazil,. Founded by Fernando and Marcos, brothers and electrical engineers, with the vision of transforming Brazil’s solar potential into high-performance clean energy.

The company has more than 700 projects already installed in Brazil, and a clear competitive advantage with its retail sales model, broadening access to solar energy to residences and small and medium-sized businesses (‘open-door engineering’).

Rise partnered with Alba in 2017. Together we created a plan to transform the company into a manager of clean energy, expanding its operating models – building new solar farms and increasing ‘roof top’ unit sales geographically through subsidiaries and well-trained and motivated sales teams.

The impact, in addition to contributing to the growth of renewable energy and the reduction of CO₂ emissions, is the donation of kits and installations to needy hospitals and schools, with plans to broaden access to energy to low income areas and areas where the government is not present.
