Exagon Impact Capital expands in renewable sector with SunRoof
This is the second portfolio company acquisition for Exagon's inaugural fund, Exagon Latin America Fund I (XLA I).
The investment by XLA I will support SunRoof's expansion efforts within Mexico, focusing on accelerating distributed generation solar adoption within the commercial and industrial sectors.
By integrating SunRoof into its portfolio, Exagon strengthens its foothold in advancing renewable energy initiatives throughout Latin America and the Caribbean.
Exagon Impact Capital co-founder and managing partner George Osorio stated: 'What sets SunRoof apart is its distinctive and forward-thinking approach that is evident in everything they do – from securing US dollar PPAs [power purchase agreements] that eliminate currency risk, to gaining a competitive edge with their innovative solar panel cleaning technology.'
Established in 2016, SunRoof provides customised clean energy solutions to commercial and industrial clients across Latin America.
The company's build-and-hold platform has earned it a reputation as a trusted partner in corporate sustainability among blue-chip clients.
It is well-positioned to meet growing demand from global brands prioritising sustainability through long-term PPAs.
SunRoof founder and CEO Francisco Martin stated: 'We've developed a strong relationship with the Exagon team over time, and we're honoured by their trust in our vision.
'We are thrilled to begin this new chapter and see the SunRoof team grow with Exagon's support. This partnership enables us to accelerate our expansion in Mexico while continuing to deliver impactful, high-quality renewable energy solutions across the region.'
SunRoof has patented autonomous solar panel cleaning technology that reduces water usage while maximising energy yield. Exagon co-founder and managing partner Marc Frishman stated: 'We are confident that SunRoof's exceptional team and differentiated business model will deliver strong, long-term value to our portfolio.'

Tariffs are coming for your breakfast — but not your OJ
New tariffs are poised to make your breakfast a bit pricier, especially your morning cup of coffee — but your orange juice caught a break. Why it matters: Your morning staples are caught in the crossfire of global trade politics. The new tariff rates — the highest in nearly a century — will cost the average family about $2,400 this year, according to the Yale Budget Lab's latest analysis. The big picture: American consumers have been navigating sticky inflation for food prices, and breakfast costs have been a sore point. Coffee prices have been volatile due to crop issues in Brazil, while chocolate has soared on cocoa shortages. A new wave of tariff hikes targeting certain European and Latin American imports is expected to push prices higher. Coffee and chocolate prices By the numbers: Brazilian coffee will face a 50% tariff, up from 10%. Even a modest 10% tariff on Brazilian coffee could raise U.S. retail prices 6–8% within 90 days, Francisco Martin-Rayo, CEO and co-founder of Helios AI, tells Axios. Swiss chocolate and coffee are being hit with a 39% tariff, up from the 31% tariff on Switzerland exports announced in April. This could affect Nespresso, as parent company Nestlé says every capsule sold in the world is produced in one of three factories in Switzerland. Rising tariffs to hit fruit and vegetable prices Zoom in: Martin-Rayo said his firm is tracking price shocks across the produce aisle — from tomatoes and mangoes to avocados — where tariffs compound climate disruptions. The biggest consumer price impacts are expected to hit fresh fruits, including bananas and vegetables, as well as processed imports like canned tomatoes, he said. "In some cases, we're projecting 10–15% retail price hikes within a single quarter," he said. Why orange juice got an exemption The intrigue: Orange juice from Brazil was exempted from tariffs, even though oranges are grown in Florida and California. Chris Brigati, chief investment officer at San Antonio-based investment firm SWBC, told Axios the reason for the exemption "remains unclear," especially given Brazil's coffee was hit with a 50% tariff. "Perhaps Trump wanted to limit the potential pain to higher prices from tariffs, as supply shock impacts are likely to occur," Brigati said. Zoom out: U.S. production has plunged to the lowest level in 88 years due to " unfavorable weather and continuing disease problems," USDA data shows, noting citrus greening has been battering Florida crops. Imports now account for 90% of the U.S. orange juice supply — with half coming from Brazil, which dominates global production under brands like Tropicana, Minute Maid and Simply Orange.
