BORNE Energia

What BORNE Energia does

BORNE Energia is a privately-held Brazilian solar energy solutions provider founded in 2018 and headquartered in Curitiba, Paraná. The company designs, installs, and operates photovoltaic solar energy systems for residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural, and government clients across four Brazilian regions (South, Southeast, Center-West, and Northeast). Its core offering spans full-scope EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) delivery of grid-connected and grid-zero photovoltaic plants, using WEG equipment in its capacity as an official WEG integrator since 2018. BORNE's product portfolio includes the BORNELight subscription energy program (recurring monthly billing via shared-generation grid credits, delivering up to 20% savings on customer electricity bills with zero upfront investment), ongoing operation and maintenance services with real-time plant monitoring, electric mobility infrastructure (Type 2 AC and CCS2 DC fast/ultra-fast EV charging stations plus consulting), and an investor-facing solar asset offering that facilitates investment in BORNE-operated plants.

The business operates multiple revenue streams: one-time EPC/turnkey project delivery for custom installations ranging from small residential jobs (e.g., 19 panels) to multi-megawatt industrial plants (e.g., the 7,700-module CHESF|WEG project in Petrolina-PE); recurring BORNELight subscription fees; managed O&M contracts; and professional services around investor solar plant facilitation. Customer segments are diversified across industries including manufacturing (Grupo Procópio, Premisse, Alçatec), retail (Supermercados Bom Gourmet, MAFREI), automotive (MOVIDA Seminovos), healthcare (Hospital Otorrinos), transportation (Budel Transportes), agribusiness (Silos Garmatter), education (SENAC Londrina), and government (Prefeitura de Curitiba, CHESF). GTM is sales-led with a hybrid enterprise field-sales motion for large industrial/commercial clients and WhatsApp-driven inside sales for SMB and residential leads, supported by an Instagram and SEO content marketing presence. The company is lean (9 employees), relies on subcontracted installation capacity, and has not disclosed external funding.

Scale indicators11 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Canadian Solar Brasil: Global solar module manufacturer and project developer with Brazilian utility-scale and commercial solar activity; overlaps with BORNE in EPC and equipment supply but operates a much larger, vertically integrated model.
• Auren Energia: Large Brazilian integrated power generator and commercial energy retailer with distributed solar and renewable offerings to enterprise clients; competes with BORNE in commercial and industrial solar EPC and energy supply.
• Engie Brasil: Major Brazilian energy utility with a large distributed solar and renewable generation business; offers overlapping EPC and solar generation capabilities, but as part of a diversified utility and generation portfolio serving all customer segments.

Others

• WEG: Brazilian electrical equipment manufacturer and BORNE's official integrator partner since 2018; not a direct competitor but provides the technology and brand credibility underpinning BORNE's value proposition, and could choose to integrate vertically into solar EPC.

Direct peers

• Solfácil: Brazilian distributed-generation solar fintech and integrator platform that finances and installs rooftop PV for residential and commercial customers; directly comparable to BORNE's EPC plus BORNELight subscription model, with a much larger digital customer-acquisition engine.
• Bluesol Energia Solar: Brazilian residential and commercial solar integrator offering turnkey PV installation across multiple regions; most comparable to BORNE's smaller-scale EPC and grid-zero delivery, though more residential-weighted.
• NeoSolar: Brazilian online solar equipment retailer and integrator with EPC and financing services; comparable to BORNE in serving residential and small commercial customers with end-to-end PV solutions.

Regional players

• Atlas Renewable Energy: Latin America-focused renewable developer that builds and operates utility-scale solar plants across Brazil and the region; comparable in EPC execution but focused on larger utility-scale projects rather than BORNE's rooftop and commercial mix.
