What they do

SolarSquare designs, installs and maintains rooftop solar systems for homes and housing societies

What happened

It is raising a $55-60M Series C at a $450-500M valuation, co-led by B Capital and Lightspeed

Why it matters

The company's valuation has doubled in about 18 months, reflecting strong demand for residential solar in India

The details

  • SolarSquare is in advanced talks to raise a Series C round of $55M to $60M.
  • The round is expected to close next month.
  • The post-money valuation is between $450M and $500M.
  • B Capital and Lightspeed Venture Partners (growth fund) are co-leading the round.
  • Existing investor Elevation Capital is expected to participate.
  • The company's valuation has doubled in about 18 months.
  • SolarSquare previously raised a $40M Series B at a ~$200M valuation in December 2024, led by Lightspeed.

The bigger picture

  • India aims to reach 500 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030, with solar expected to contribute more than half.
  • India became the world's third-largest solar power producer in 2025, after China and the US.
  • India's cumulative installed solar capacity grew from ~3 GW in 2014 to over 150 GW in 2026.
  • The residential solar market is fragmented, dominated by small local installers and dealer networks tied to Tata Power, Waaree Energies, Luminous Power Technologies, and Exide Industries.
