SunFi is an energy-fintech building the last-mile enabling infrastructure layer for Africa’s clean tech industry, powered by super distribution, embedded financing, and service offerings. For the retail market, SunFi is the Amazon of clean tech, enabling solar distributors and users to access solar components and products, facilitated by embedded financing, super distribution technology, and aggregated aftercare service. For the enterprise market, the Amazon analogy extends as SunFi is building on its heritage as an infrastructure layer to pilot clean energy-powered virtual power plants that power commercial ecosystems for e-mobility charging stations, data centers, mixed use commercials, and more.
