SNL Energy Solutions Private Limited, established in 2019, has emerged as a leading social enterprise in Manipur, dedicated to alleviating poverty by providing sustainable energy access to rural areas. Founded by Seth Moirangthem, SNL has made significant strides in this field, thanks to its collaboration with the SELCO Foundation since its inception.

In 2020, SNL was onboarded into the AICSF Incubation Program, further enhancing its growth prospects.

Presently, SNL has successfully solarized over 500 households, supported more than 200 livelihood applications, and empowered over 300 institutions with sustainable energy solutions.

SNL's clientele spans diverse institutions, including NGOs, colleges, schools, hostels, medical centers, vocational training centers, community centers, religious institutions, and Anganwadi centers. Moreover, the company supports small businesses by providing solar-powered equipment such as egg incubators, sewing machines, LSK(xerox and printing ), pottery tools, power looms, rice hullers, and cold storage facilities. To date, SNL Energy Solutions has generated 500 kW of energy through its solar solutions, marking a significant achievement which is equivalent 1.7 tco2 of carbon emission. 

Through the AICSF Incubation Program, SNL has established partnerships with six major lead-generating organizations, including SELCO Foundation, WIDWIM, DSSS, Seat, PRDA, and the DC office of Chandel District, along with microfinance partner SEVA for end-user financing.
