At Enpal, we are not just a company; we are a movement. As a recognized greentech unicorn and one of Europe’s fastest-growing energy companies, we’re dedicated to making solar energy accessible and effortless for homeowners across the continent. Our innovative business model for solar panels, heat pumps, home energy storage systems, and EV charging stations is redefining the residential energy market. With our mission to empower homeowners to embrace clean energy, we are paving the way for a sustainable, decentralized energy future.

As the leading player in residential solar, Enpal is expanding its next frontier: Enpal Energy, our platform for managing, optimizing, and orchestrating millions of distributed energy assets. This includes building Europe’s largest Virtual Power Plant (VPP), connecting solar systems, batteries, heat pumps, and EV chargers to actively stabilize the grid and unlock new revenue streams for our customers.

Our vision is bold: to become the driving force in Europe’s transition to distributed, intelligent, and clean energy generation.
