Fair Energy Transition

Direct 

• Contribution to expanded access to clean energy: SEOS’ work facilitates the adoption of clean energy solutions in Colombia by households, condominiums, and micro-businesses, mobilizing the system joining consumers, installers and financing. Up to date, solar projects have been realized with 45 clients through the SEOS platform unlocking 390,000 US dollars in residential solar financing and generating more than 150,000 US dollars in yearly electricity bill savings.
• Promotion of productive activities, formalization and growth of installer enterprises: by providing technical and commercial training to installer companies and a centralized solution, SEOS promotes the formalization and growth of solar installers in Colombia. Currently, 60% of the financed projects are SMEs and 17% of partner companies are women-led. This aligns with SEOS’s gender inclusion policies and programs, which are also supported by the Colombian Solar Energy Association, where SEOS is part of the founding committee for the gender vertical.

Indirect

• Contribution to the decarbonisation of Colombia, avoiding CO2 emissions: Through the SEOS platform, 451kWp has been installed, generating an estimated production of 697,77 MWh of clean energy per year, that contributes to avoid the emission of over 107,4 tonnes of CO2 per year. This is equivalent to the CO2 absorption of more than 4800 trees.

SEOS Energy S.A.S. BIC was founded in 2017, following the approval of regulations in Colombia that made solar energy accessible to households. Based in Bogotá, the company has since become a leader in the renewable energy sector. It's a Fintech specializing in financing, consulting, and monitoring solar energy solutions for homes and small businesses.

Following the enactment of Law 1715 in 2014, which promoted the development of renewable energies in Colombia, SEOS Energy S.A.S. BIC was initially registered in 2017. However, it wasn't until 2019, with the approval of rooftop solar regulations and metering schemes that made solar energy accessible to households, that SEOS began its operations, initially adopting a vertically integrated solar-as-a-service model. Based in Bogotá, the company has since become a leader in the renewable energy sector, pivoting in 2023 to a fintech platform specializing in financing, consulting, and monitoring solar energy solutions for homes and small businesses.

With a team of 13 dedicated professionals, SEOS actively supports the clean energy transition by providing solar technology coupled with direct-to-consumer financing.

The company is committed to making a positive impact on the Colombian economy by generating employment opportunities within the solar sector. SEOS also promotes the professional development of solar installers by offering training and resources to improve their skills. Its mission is to drive sustainable growth while contributing to Colombia’s 2050 climate goals through innovative financial solutions that encourage solar energy adoption.

Also a co-founder of ACOSOL (Colombian Association of Solar Energy), an organization dedicated to supporting the growth of small-scale solar energy projects in Colombia. In collaboration with ACOSOL, SEOS received a grant of over US$694,000 from the World Resources Institute and P4G to expand their efforts in promoting renewable energy.
