India's Leading Solar Energy Company


In 2010, three friends joined hands to set up a firm to offer clean, green and affordable electricity to every Indian business. Their simple promise – every stakeholder they associate with, was to be considered as important and as relevant as a Founding Partner. Till date, this remains the ethos of Fourth Partner Energy.

Fourth Partner Energy aims to be every business’ one-stop destination to meet all their renewable energy requirements. We understand the customer’s energy requirements and offer solutions that are better for the client’s bottom-line and much better for the environment.

Our solar solutions are customised to help businesses lower their carbon footprint and meet sustainability targets – while ensuring cost benefits of between 30-60% on electricity consumed. Businesses can choose between onsite and offsite solar, energy trading, battery storage and solar-power EV charging infrastructure to meet their sustainability goals.

Fourth Partner Energy is committed to enabling India and SE Asia emerging as global leaders in the transition to a low-Carbon economy. We are currently expanding to geographies across South and South East Asia, to deepen our commitment towards decarbonisation. We work with our clients to help reduce their energy costs, become power independent and cut down carbon emissions.
