German commercial and industrial solar startup Enviria on Thursday said it had secured a capital commitment of over $200 million from the world's biggest asset manager, BlackRock, as the company seeks to expand its projects in Germany. Founded in 2017, the Frankfurt-based firm offers photovoltaic systems for companies interested in switching to solar power, including financing, planning, installation, storage and operation solutions.

With companies comprising around 70% of Germany's national electricity usage, and only 10% of firms equipped with solar systems on their roofs, Enviria is betting on several hundred gigawatts of untapped renewable energy capacity.
