Vietnam-based rooftop solar financing startup Stride has secured $15 million in Series B funding to accelerate solar and battery adoption among households and small businesses across Vietnam and Southeast Asia. The round was co-led by Lightrock and TRIREC through the Accelerate7 platform, with continued participation from existing investors Clime Capital and UOB Venture Management. Stride provides financing solutions that allow households and MSMEs to install rooftop solar and battery systems through affordable payment plans rather than large upfront costs. The company’s platform also includes insurance offerings and quality assurance infrastructure designed to simplify access to distributed clean energy systems. According to the company, the fresh capital will be used to scale operations across Vietnam, expand into additional regional markets, strengthen digital infrastructure, and improve project quality systems. Stride says it aims to help an additional 200,000 people gain access to clean energy solutions by 2030. Since its earlier funding rounds, the company has significantly expanded its network of verified EPC (engineering, procurement, and construction) partners and nearly tripled its project portfolio across Vietnam. Investors are increasingly viewing distributed solar financing platforms as a critical infrastructure layer supporting Southeast Asia’s clean energy transition. The funding highlights growing investor interest in climate fintech, decentralized energy infrastructure, rooftop solar adoption, and consumer-focused renewable energy financing models across emerging markets.
