Case study summary

The global energy transition will require enormous funding across a huge variety of projects, including securing new sources of green financing.

Crowdfunding is one potential financing model and SunMoney Solar Group is among a new breed of companies utilising such a mechanism, in its case, through digital tokenisation.

The company, which was launched in Hungary and is now based in the UAE, runs the world’s largest community solar power programme and allows the public to invest indirectly in its clean energy initiatives. This enables individuals to be part of the decarbonisation journey while enjoying returns on their committed sums as sold energy is sold.
