Sun King Financing Limited

Sun King (Greenlight Planet) is an off-grid solar energy company that designs, distributes, installs and finances solar energy solutions for African and Asian households and businesses who cannot access, rely on or afford traditional electric grid connections. Sun King customers can purchase products using the company’s technology-enabled, pay-as-you-go “Easy Buy” financing service, which breaks payments down into regular, affordable instalments. Norfund has participated in a Kenyan-Shilling-denominated $130 million sustainable securitisation transaction. The syndicated debt transaction leverages Sun King’s existing and future Kenyan customers’ payments for solar products to raise funding for further growth and expansion of Sun King Kenya.
