Santander, Solfium Partner to Boost SME Photovoltaic Adoption

Santander México announced a strategic alliance with solar solutions company Solfium to accelerate renewable energy adoption among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) through accessible financing schemes. Under the partnership, participating SMEs will have access to credit products with preferential interest rates and no opening fees to install photovoltaic systems, making solar investments more attainable and financially viable for businesses of all sizes.

“Santander is committed to leading the transition toward a low-carbon economy. Through this alliance, we provide tangible financial solutions that help our clients become more sustainable, competitive, and responsible,” said Javier Perochena, head of sustainable finance, Santander México.

As part of the collaboration, Santander and Solfium will launch a corporate digital dashboard that enables companies to monitor their solar projects in real time, tracking energy generation, cost savings, and reductions in carbon emissions. The system will also support clients in reporting sustainability progress and measuring contributions toward net-zero objectives.

“This alliance with Santander represents a decisive step in accelerating the adoption of solar energy in Mexico,” said Andrés Friedman, CEO and co-founder, Solfium. “Our goal is to make both technology and financing accessible to all businesses pursuing a cleaner and more efficient future.”
