Bling Energy, LDA

Based in Lisbon, Portugal, and founded in 2022 by CEO Bernardo Fernandez, Bling Energy, LDA, a. k. a. Bling Energy, operates as a turnkey solar panel installation solutions provider, making solar energy more accessible for residential and commercial users.

Since inception, it has raised multiple funding rounds, including a EUR 15 million Series A investment in July 2025 from BlueCrow Capital, aimed at scaling its subscription service to 3,000 new customers and installing 20 MW of solar and storage capacity. Bling Energy offers solar installation services that enable homeowners to generate their own electricity from sunlight, resulting in savings on electricity bills. The installation includes solar panels that convert sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity, which is then transformed into alternating current (AC) by an inverter for use in household appliances. Additionally, the system features a monitoring component that allows users to track their solar energy production and consumption.

Bling Energy also provides guidance on the number of panels needed, suitability of roofs for installation, and maintenance requirements for the solar systems. Bling Energy generates revenue primarily through subscription fees for solar installations, which include ongoing maintenance and monitoring services. The company also benefits from direct sales of solar panels, batteries, and EV chargers under its purchase model, allowing customers to own their systems outright. It offers value-added services such as energy monitoring and SmartGuard backup solutions to enhance customer experience.

The company plans to use the July 2025 funding to expand its solar subscription service to more residential customers and increase its capacity for solar generation and energy storage.
