Cloover has announced a major financing commitment to accelerate the rollout of residential energy independence across Europe.
The company has
secured $22 million in Series A equity financing alongside a $1.2 billion debt
facility, bringing total capital commitments to $1.222 billion.
The equity round was
led by MMC Ventures and QED Investors, with participation from Lowercarbon
Capital, BNVT Capital, Bosch Ventures, Centrotec, and Earthshot Ventures.
A leading European
bank provided the debt facility to support customer and installer financing,
further strengthened by a €300 million ($350 million) guarantee from the European Investment Fund,
enabling scalable, low-cost capital for the energy transition.
In total, Cloover has
raised over $30 million in equity and secured more than $1.3 billion in debt.
This substantial
commitment reflects the urgency of the challenge Cloover is addressing.
Europe’s energy transition depends heavily on hundreds of thousands of small
and mid-sized installers, many of whom rely on fragmented software, manual
processes, and lack access to financing.
Traditional banks
struggle to finance residential energy assets efficiently, leading to delays
and higher costs for households.
Cloover addresses this
bottleneck by embedding financing directly into installer workflows through an
end-to-end software platform purpose-built for decentralized energy.
Central to Cloover’s
approach is AI-powered credit underwriting, which evaluates projects based on
long-term energy savings rather than traditional credit metrics alone.
The platform also
pre-finances public subsidies so homeowners can benefit immediately from
government incentives.
“With this $1.2
billion commitment, we’re enabling households to become energy independent,
without the friction of upfront costs or complex loan applications. Our AI
operating system connects stakeholders across the value chain and
revolutionizes how energy independence becomes the new norm” said Jodok
Betschart, Co-Founder & -CEO at Cloover.
“Cloover is not just
about financing - we’re building the backbone for energy independence. We are
creating the Shopify of Energy: a platform that equips manufacturers,
installers, households, and investors with the tools to grow, collaborate, and
deliver distributed energy at scale” added Valentin Gönczy, Co-Founder &
CPO at Cloover.
“Cloover is tackling
one of the largest and most structurally important opportunities in the
European energy transition. What truly sets them apart is execution: in 2025
the team delivered outstanding commercial progress while building the
foundations of a scalable platform business. Jodok, Peder and Valentin have
assembled an exceptional team with deep expertise across energy, software, and
credit, and we’re excited to back them as they scale Cloover into a
category-defining company.” said Oliver Richards, General Partner at MMC
Ventures. -TradeArabia News Service
