B Capital leads SolarSquare’s $50-55 million round at $500 million valuation



Mumbai-based rooftop solar startup SolarSquare Energy has raised $50-55 million in a new funding round led by B Capital. The round valued the company at $450-500 million, a jump of almost 2.5 times from its last valuation, people aware of the matter said. The fundraise comes at a time when venture investors have been stepping up bets on India’s residential solar market.

Existing investors Lightspeed Venture Partners and Elevation Capital also participated in the round, the people said. The company is currently clocking an annualised revenue run rate of about Rs 800-1,000 crore, they added.

In fiscal year 2025, SolarSquare reported an operating revenue of Rs 355 crore, double the previous year’s intake.

The latest round comes about 18 months after SolarSquare raised $40 million in a funding round led by Lightspeed. That round had also seen participation from Lightrock, Elevation Capital, Lowercarbon, Rainmatter and Gruhas Proptech.

At the time, the company had said it would use the capital to expand to 50 cities in India over two years, build its technology stack, hire talent, and invest in brand-building.
