Solar aenergy holds enormous potential as an abundant, clean, and increasingly cost-competitive source of power. We are investing in the scaling of solar energy because we believe that large-scale solar power generation is key to overcoming our reliance on fossil fuels. It is an opportunity to create jobs, stimulate economic growth, and make a substantial contribution to mitigating climate change. Our investments target innovative companies that are driving the mass adoption of solar energy through technological advances, business model innovations, and efforts to improve the accessibility and affordability of solar power.

Energy storage is a game-changer for renewable energy. The ability to store energy for use when needed, such as during periods of low wind or sun, is critical for the reliability of renewable energy sources. We're strategically investing in this area because we see energy storage technologies as an essential part of the solution to one of renewable energy’s biggest challenges: intermittency. We invest in cutting-edge companies working to develop and improve energy storage systems that are cost-effective, efficient, and scalable.

Funded R&D: Research and development (R&D) is the lifeblood of innovation in the renewable energy sector. At Vortex Ventures, we invest in funded R&D initiatives because we understand the importance of continuous innovation for the advancement of the industry. Our investments aim to foster breakthroughs in renewable energy technologies, business models, and policies that can dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase the resilience of our energy systems.
