The funding injection aims to accelerate the expansion of clean energy access across the East Africa region and marks a significant milestone in the company’s mission to drive sustainability and economic growth.
The company specializes in providing comprehensive, sustainable, and technologically advanced solar energy solutions to businesses, industries, and communities in the region.
The $20 million investment comes from a consortium of international investors, including the Netherlands Development Finance Company (FMO) and the Global Climate Partnership Fund (GCPF).
The funding demonstrates growing confidence in the potential of East Africa’s renewable energy sector and the significant impact Starsight Energy can have on the region’s economic and environmental sustainability.

The company plans to use the funds to deploy more solar energy systems in key industries such as manufacturing, telecommunications, and healthcare, as well as in rural and underserved communities.
