Enpal closes out its Series C round with a €150 million investment from Softbank

Frankfurt am Main, 19^th October 2021 - Enpal, a portfolio company of Heliad, has raised €150 million ($174 million) from Softbank Vision Fund 2. The funding closes out its Series C at €250 million ($290 million) that Enpal raised earlier this year. The latest investment from Softbank values Enpal at €950 million ($1.1 billion) post-money.

The company has some 10,000 customers in Germany, and the plan will be to continue growing in its home market, as well as make its first efforts to expand to new ones. Ultimately Enpal's goal, CEO Mario Kohle said, is to make using renewable energy a realistic option for everyone and everything.

"We strive to go beyond Germany because the climate crisis goes beyond our borders," Kohle said. "Our dream is to bring a solar system on every roof, battery storage into every home, an electric car in front of every door, and to connect all people from all walks of life to a sustainable community."
