Solar energy’s potential to transform daily life drives us to do what we do everyday. It’s what inspires us to build solar plants that endure, to use the most current technologies available to harness the power of the sun, and to work with partners that share our commitment to producing a continuous, reliable and efficient supply of clean energy from the sun.
At Sonnedix, we don’t just talk about revolutionising the energy industry—we do it.We are constantly evaluating multiple regulatory regimes at different phases of integration in the rapidly-expanding global solar market to uncover new opportunities to revolutionise the energy industry. And by applying our global diversification approach to spread our portfolio’s risk across projects, countries and currencies, we’re ensuring that we can continue to do so into the future.
We believe in a world where the future of solar power is limitless and we’re doing everything in our power to get us there sooner.
We are an established Independent Power Producer (IPP) with a proven track record of successfully designing, financing, building and monitoring high-performance, cost-competitive solar plants around the world.
Sonnedix Group is majority owned by institutional investors advised by J.P. Morgan Asset Management.

WHAT WE DO
Sonnedix concentrates its value add in thedevelopment, construction, production and sale of PV electricity. We source the best available technology to maximise revenue and profit and ensure the sustainability of our PV parks.
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
PROJECT FINANCING
ENGINEERING & CONSTRUCTION
OPERATIONS & ASSET MANAGEMENT
We bring our global view and dynamic approach to problem solving to discover, evaluate and de-risk all aspects of potential projects in OECD markets with supportive regulatory regimes. Our role is to work with developers, brokers, relevant permitting bodies, land owners and internal functional teams, among others, to bring projects to a fully-consented, ready-to-build stage.
We organise debt and other non-recourse financing for newly developed or acquired solar projects, as well as optimise financing for the company’s existing project portfolios. Our team is also responsible for raising debt and other non-recourse financing at the best possible terms to ensure Sonnedix’s assets fulfill their required cash yields and rate of returns over the long term. In our role, we work closely with lenders and other outside advisors to structure, negotiate, and close financing transactions with the goal of supporting the business in efficiently, reliably and profitably delivering long-term, effective energy services and solutions.
Our team is mainly composed of engineers and project managers with expertise in technical and technological trends, local codes, rules and regulations, as well as overall construction costs in specific regions. Our core role is to manage the construction process of our plants, including choosing a contractor and providing daily on-site supervision. We also work closely with other Sonnedix teams, operating as one to make and implement decisions quickly. For example, we support our Business Development team in choosing land, performing technical due diligence, and design and yield analysis, as well as our Operations & Asset Management team when we finalise the hand over of finished plants.
Once our power plants transition from construction, or via acquisition, to an operating asset, we’re responsible for driving their performance and managing any associated ownership risks to ensure that our solar energy platforms offer more than others. This means we focus on reducing downtime and operating costs, as well as guaranteeing that the site is well maintained with all the necessary upgrades to ensure continued safety and efficiency. Many of our assets are run on a day-to-day basis by external parties, so we are also closely involved in contract management, including looking for opportunities to optimise expenditures and managing any breaches of performance guarantees within our contracts.
WE BELIEVE IN TRANSFORMING
THE FUTURE THROUGH SOLAR POWER
ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE (ESG)
OUR ESG PERFORMANCE
Integrating responsible, forward-thinking corporate policies into our daily business practices is key to us achieving our goal of smartly transforming the sun’s power into clean energy.
It’s what allows us to behave sustainably, ethically and accountably as we develop, finance, build and operate solar plants around the world. It’s also what ensures that we have a positive impact on our people and the environments and communities within which we work.
Our efforts have had an impact with GRESB(Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark), an independent, investor-driven organisation committed to assessing the ESG performance of real assets globally, awarding Sonnedix a 5-star rating in 2019 and Solar Power Generation Sector Leader.
Environmental: Protect, enhance and care for the environments where we build and operate our solar plants. Social: Support the communities we work in with socialand developmental activities, job opportunities and essential provisions. Governance: Ensure our employees and partners are committed to integrity in action, fairness in conduct and respect for all.
