Mission and Mandate
Climate Infrastructure. Community-Rooted. Built to Scale.
Tangelic is an emerging climate platform operating at the intersection of clean energy access, capital deployment, and community infrastructure.
Headquartered in the U.S., with operations across Africa and an expanding Gulf interface, we design and execute high-leverage climate programs — from decentralized solar systems to carbon monetization frameworks — built for scale, resilience, and localized ownership.
Our flagship initiative, Sunrise Spectrum, delivers solar microgrids and clean cooking solutions to off-grid communities in West Africa. The program integrates a gender-aligned finance model, outcome-based metrics, and modular designs structured for national expansion.
We’re not a think tank.
We’re not a consultancy.
We deploy.
One village, one megawatt, one ledger at a time.
Our Mission
Tangelic empowers communities to build a brighter, more sustainable future through clean energy access. We are committed to eradicating energy poverty and mitigating climate change by implementing innovative, scalable solutions that transform lives and protect our planet.
Our Vision
We envision a world where everyone has access to clean, affordable, and reliable energy. By leading the transition to renewable energy sources, we aim to foster economic development, improve health outcomes, and empower individuals and communities to thrive.
Guiding principles
- Community-Led Solutions: We prioritize working hand-in-hand with local communities to design and implement projects that meet their unique needs and aspirations.
- Sustainability: We ensure our projects have a lasting positive impact by focusing on long-term viability, local capacity building, and environmental stewardship.
- Scalability: We strive to create replicable models that can be expanded to reach underserved communities across the globe.
- Innovation: We embrace cutting-edge technologies and innovative financing mechanisms to deliver sustainable energy solutions at scale.
- Collaboration: We believe in the power of partnerships to achieve greater impact. We collaborate with governments, NGOs, businesses, and academic institutions to leverage our collective strengths and resources.
- Nature-Inspired Thinking: We draw lessons from natural ecosystems to design solutions that are resilient, regenerative, and rooted in community empowerment.
Methodology
- Needs Assessment: We conduct thorough assessments to understand the specific energy challenges and opportunities in each community we serve.
- Co-Creation: We work collaboratively with community members to design solutions that are tailored to their needs and built for long-term resilience, drawing inspiration from the adaptability of natural systems.
- Implementation: We oversee the implementation of renewable energy projects, ensuring high quality, timely delivery, and effective training for local stakeholders.
- Monitoring and Evaluation: We rigorously track project performance and impact, using data-driven insights to optimize our approach and measure our progress towards our goals.
- Knowledge Sharing: We share our lessons learned and best practices with other organizations and communities to foster global collaboration and accelerate the clean energy transition.
- Innovation: We embrace cutting-edge technologies, financing mechanisms, and nature-inspired design principles to deliver sustainable energy solutions at scale.
Our Operating Model
- Modular Infrastructure: We build systems that replicate. Our technology stack — solar generation, distribution, metering, and clean cooking — is packaged for seamless rollout across multiple geographies.
- Capital Integration: Our structures align donor grants, catalytic capital, and institutional investment — enabling return-linked outcomes through carbon credit monetization, results-based financing, and climate-aligned capital flows.
- Embedded Ownership: Tangelic projects are designed for transfer. We train local operators, embed community-led governance, and ensure long-term value stays with the communities we serve.
How We Build
- Scalable by Architecture : Modular, interoperable infrastructure designed for replication — not one-off pilots.
- Finance-Ready by DesignClean energy assets pre-structured for carbon markets, SDG tracking, and investment-grade measurement frameworks.
- Gender-Aligned by Default Women are not recipients — they’re field technicians, asset owners, and enterprise leaders in our model.
- Rooted in ExecutionFrom design to field deployment, we operate through delivery — not distant advisory.
Our Commitment to Nature-Inspired Innovation
- At Tangelic, we believe the answers to our greatest challenges are already written in the language of nature.
- We draw inspiration from the principles of biomimicry — the way natural systems build resilient, regenerative ecosystems — to guide the design of our clean energy initiatives.
- Much like forests and rivers sustain life through interconnected networks, our Sunrise Spectrum and Pan-African Climate Exchange (PACE) programs are built around decentralized, community-owned energy models that empower resilience, adaptability, and long-term growth.
- By learning from nature’s time-tested strategies, we aim not only to deliver clean energy access but to nurture thriving, self-sustaining communities that grow stronger over time.
- This philosophy informs every aspect of our work — from solar infrastructure and microgrids to community entrepreneurship and climate finance — ensuring that our solutions are not only innovative, but deeply aligned with the planet’s blueprint for sustainable life.
Our Commitment to Women's Empowerment
At Tangelic, we recognize that gender equality is both a fundamental human right and a critical driver of sustainable development, essential for achieving our mission of expanding clean energy access and building a more just and equitable future
We are committed to integrating gender considerations into every aspect of our work, from project design and implementation to monitoring and evaluation. We strive to create an inclusive environment where women’s voices are heard, their needs are met, and their leadership is fostered.
Our strategies for promoting gender equity include:
Targeted outreach and awareness campaigns to ensure women and girls are fully informed about the benefits of clean energy and how to access our programs.
Gender-sensitive training for our staff and partners to ensure they understand the unique needs and challenges faced by women and girls.
Financial inclusion initiatives to facilitate access to affordable financing options for women who wish to purchase clean energy technologies.
Promoting the participation of women in the installation, maintenance, and distribution of clean energy technologies, creating role models and fostering female entrepreneurship.
Meaningful community engagement that ensures women’s voices are heard and their needs are considered in project design and implementation.
Data-driven monitoring and evaluation to track the participation and outcomes of women and girls in our programs and identify any remaining barriers to access.
Regular gender equity audits to assess the effectiveness of our strategies and identify areas for improvement.
Empowering women and girls enhances individual lives and strengthens entire communities. This makes them more resilient and better equipped to tackle the challenges of climate change and energy poverty.
Gender as Infrastructure
We view gender equity as a core structural layer — not an afterthought. Our deployments:
- Train and certify women as local technicians
- Embed female-led energy governance models
- Prioritize women in asset financing, ownership, and benefit flows
- Track impact outcomes by gender across health, productivity, and income
Empowered women don’t just benefit from clean energy. They scale it.
Gender as Infrastructure
- We don’t raise awareness.
- We don’t write white papers.
- We don’t run pilots that stall.
- We build operational systems.
- We structure capital.
- We deliver.
