MARCLEY secures six-figure pre-seed round for solar energy in multifamily buildings

Hanover, Germany - Hanover-based greentech startup MARCLEY has successfully closed a pre-seed financing round in the higher six-figure range. The company's goal is to make solar more accessible to multifamily housing.

MARCLEY offers a solution that allows apartment owners of multi-family buildings to use solar energy on their roofs without having to make any financial investment or special effort. The green power generated is offered at a lower price than the local basic utility.

Through this financing, we can accelerate our developments and enable multifamily buildings to reduce their annual electricity costs by a significant amount by adding solar to their roofs more quickly.

MARCLEY's main goal is to make green energy available to all segments of the population, including renters and homeowner communities that previously had limited access to such technologies. Thanks to this successful round of funding, the company is in a good position to execute its vision and continue to grow.

We understand the unique challenges of multifamily housing and use our expertise to develop sustainable energy solutions. With our support, multifamily buildings can make a significant contribution to the energy transition

Florian Schulte, co-founder of MARCLEY, emphasizes:
