The funding round — the company’s fourth — will be used to help further expansion in Europe, according to a release posted on Solarcentury’s Web site. In May 2006, the company raised 5.5 million pounds ($11.1 million) from VantagePoint Venture Partners and Scottish and Southern Energy PLC, which included the conversion of a 1.4-million-pound ($2.82 million) investor loan to equity. Solarcentury was founded in 1998.
