About us

What we do

  • Renewable energy development & Investment

    Solariant and its subsidiaries source, develop, finance, and manage the construction and operation of utility-scale renewable energy projects. As a comprehensive renewable energy developer, we connect local development partners, land owners, contractors, and other stakeholders with global investors to design and implement innovative renewable energy projects. Our projects not only provide exceptional investment opportunities, but also deliver environmental, social, and economic benefits.

  • Innovative Alternative Investments

    Solariant Capital is offering investment opportunities in renewable energy power plant development, a crowdfunding platform, and sustainable energy plantations through various strategic partnerships, co-development, and a renewable energy development fund (SREF I).

  • Sustainable Energy Forest

    Our biomass feedstock will be produced sustainably from energy plantations that are guided by international silvicultural and social standards. We will be planting more trees than we harvest on an on-going basis and will strictly adhere to regulatory requirements for sustainable forest management.
