Why venture capital is moving into African solar microgrids
- African VC funding is rotating from fintech to solar microgrids as risk-return profiles shift.
- Fintech markets are becoming crowded, regulated, and increasingly margin-thin.
- Solar microgrids offer predictable cash flows and infrastructure-like stability.
The shift from fintech to solar microgrids in Africa represents a significant opportunity for investors and entrepreneurs alike. As the demand for reliable energy grows, startups in the solar sector must focus on execution and operational resilience to attract venture capital. This transition highlights the importance of aligning investment strategies with fundamental economic needs, particularly in emerging markets.
