Vesseur mentions, “We’re laying a strong foundation for the future. I’m confident that under Bart’s leadership, Solarge will thrive and accelerate its contribution to the energy transition.”

Solarge says its solar panels are eco-friendly, with low CO2 emissions, no harmful PFAS chemicals, recyclable, and can be customized for partners. With fair prices, Solarge aims to change how solar panels are used worldwide.

The company’s big goal is to help change energy systems. It plans to grow the use of circular solar panels and try new ideas in the solar field. This will support the environment and promote clean energy.

In April 2024, Solarge raised €3 million from impact funds Phase2.earth and Orchard Participations, as well as existing investors like Daan van der Vorm and Sytse Bouwer. Later in August, the Dutch company also got €1.5 million from the Limburg Energy Fund (LEF).
