Sharing Energy Secures Series C Funding
Sharing Energy, known for its residential solar power PPA service "Share Denki," has successfully raised ¥862 million in a Series C funding round. The announcement was made on April 17, 2026.

Company Overview
Sharing Energy operates the "Share Denki" service, which utilizes a third-party ownership model for solar power. Under this system, the company installs, owns, and maintains solar equipment on residential properties. Homeowners can then purchase the generated electricity through long-term contracts, enabling them to access solar power without upfront costs and reduce their electricity bills through self-consumption.
Strategic Use of Funds
The funds raised in this round will be directed towards building a more adaptable and scalable financial foundation. Sharing Energy aims to achieve long-term stable funding by enhancing collaboration with financial institutions and investors. The company is focused on expanding the adoption of solar power and exploring innovative financial schemes and services to further integrate distributed energy as a social infrastructure.
Expanding Partnerships
Sharing Energy has established relationships with over 1,900 partners across Japan as of the end of February. These partnerships are primarily with house builders, allowing the company to target newly built detached houses for its "Share Denki" service.
Future Plans
With the recent influx of capital, Sharing Energy plans to deepen cooperation with its partner companies and explore new avenues for service expansion. By leveraging its strengthened financial foundation, the company intends to continue its growth in the solar power sector, contributing to a sustainable energy future.
