Our Origins &

The Journey Since

History
Cosmic traces its humble beginnings to 2015 as an advisory and project management company, assisting multinational solar power producers scale their operations and venture into different international markets. In the following years, we set up over 190MW of solar power projects and secured multi-million dollar financing for our clients.

One of our biggest early successes included the implementation of a 70 MW solar PV plant in India by beating the then conventional coal power prices and achieving the lowest LCOE in South Africa for an IPP under the REIPPP program. By 2019, we had restructured our business model, and were on the way to becoming pioneers in the solar IPP business.
