What critics are saying

  • Winter 2026 demand weakens when SKR slashes Asia, Africa, and Namibia prices.
  • Revenue concentration in travel agencies exposes SKR to channel conflict and partner consolidation.
  • Any repeated destination disruption in 2026-2027 can erase small-group margins and damage itinerary planning.

Vietnam's SmartSolar raises $1.3M in debt to expand rooftop solar services for SMEs

SmartSolar, a Vietnam-based energy tech startup, has raised $1.3 million in debt financing from European investors. SECO Startup Fund, a Swiss government programme, provided a $300,000 loan, whilst German travel company SKR Reisen contributed $1 million in debt facility. Founded in 2024 by Kevin Junker, SmartSolar operates a "solar-as-a-service" model, installing rooftop solar panels for SMEs at zero upfront cost. Customers pay based on monthly energy consumption, saving 25% to 30% on electricity costs. The startup has grown from 15 customers in March 2025 to 80 clients across 100 locations in southern and central Vietnam. The new funding will support expansion across the country and growth in food and beverage and travel sectors. Total funding now exceeds $3.1 million.
