SolarDrone Ltd., a wholly‑owned subsidiary of VisionWave Holdings, has agreed to acquire a 51% controlling interest in Junko Solar Ltd., an Israeli firm that specializes in solar‑panel maintenance and cleaning services. The deal values Junko Solar at $400,000 and involves a total consideration of $204,000 paid in three staged payments. As part of the transaction, Amos Cohen, founder and controlling shareholder of Junko Solar, will become Chief Executive Officer and Director of SolarDrone, ensuring continuity of leadership and expertise.
The acquisition is a strategic move to embed a recurring‑revenue layer beneath VisionWave’s defense‑technology platform. By adding Junko Solar’s maintenance capabilities, SolarDrone expands its portfolio into the solar infrastructure services market, which is projected to reach $60 billion by 2035. The deal also dovetails with VisionWave’s broader acquisition‑led expansion strategy, which has included the purchases of Solar Drone, QuantumSpeed, and a stake in C.M. Composite Materials.
VisionWave has faced financial headwinds, including a weak financial‑health score, liquidity challenges, a high debt‑to‑equity ratio, and a negative earnings‑per‑share of –$0.49. Despite these challenges, the acquisition is expected to generate a new recurring‑revenue stream and improve long‑term profitability. Investor reaction to the announcement was positive, with pre‑market activity indicating interest in the strategic expansion into the solar services market.
Amos Cohen’s appointment as CEO and Director of SolarDrone will facilitate the integration of Junko Solar’s operations. Cohen’s deep experience in solar maintenance is expected to accelerate growth and help SolarDrone leverage its autonomous‑systems expertise to deliver scalable maintenance solutions across a rapidly expanding global solar market.
