Risk Disclosure

Last Updated: 8/30/2026

Important Notice

Investing in solar energy assets through SVE Energy involves risk. Before investing, you should carefully consider the following risk factors and consult a qualified financial advisor if needed.

Risk Factors

Investment Risk

All investments carry risk, including the potential loss of your entire capital. While our solar PPA assets target a 9.64% annual ROI, returns are not guaranteed and may vary based on actual electricity generation, weather conditions, and client payment behavior.

Liquidity Risk

Investments in solar assets are long-term by nature. While the Marketplace allows you to list shares for sale, there is no guarantee of finding a buyer at your desired price or within a specific timeframe.

Regulatory Risk

The regulatory landscape for crowdfunding and digital investments in Kenya may evolve. Changes in CMA Crowdfunding Regulations, tax policy, or energy sector rules could affect platform operations, returns, or investment structures.

Technology Risk

The platform relies on digital infrastructure including M-PESA APIs, cloud hosting, and blockchain-based share tokenization. System outages, cybersecurity incidents, or third-party service disruptions may temporarily affect access to your account or investments.

Solar Asset Risks

  • Weather Dependency: Solar energy generation depends on sunlight availability. Cloudy seasons or unusual weather patterns may reduce output and affect returns.
  • Equipment Degradation: Solar panels degrade over time (typically 0.5-1% per year), which may gradually reduce energy production.
  • Maintenance Issues: Despite our comprehensive O&M program, unforeseen equipment failures or environmental damage could temporarily reduce asset performance.

Financial Risks

  • Inflation: Kenyan inflation may erode the real value of investment returns over time.
  • Currency Risk: While investments are in KES, some equipment costs are denominated in foreign currencies, which could affect project economics.
  • Counterparty Risk: PPA clients may face financial difficulties that affect their ability to pay for electricity consumed.

Platform Risk Mitigation

SVE Energy employs the following risk mitigation strategies:

  • Joint Bank Accounts / Escrow to protect investor capital.
  • Verified project milestones before fund disbursement.
  • Comprehensive O&M programs for all solar assets.
  • Regulatory compliance under CMA Crowdfunding Regulations.
  • Diversified PPA client base to reduce counterparty concentration risk.
