projetsolaire connects consumers with trusted installers, leveraging advanced technology to streamline project planning, increase transparency, and deliver high-quality solar installations across France. Over two years, the company grew its installed capacity by 865 percent and expanded its installer network sevenfold, demonstrating both the potential of France’s solar sector and the effectiveness of a tech-centered approach.
In its quest to streamline and simplify solar, projetsolaire partnered with Aurora Solar to integrate advanced AI tools and LiDAR technology, which enabled greater efficiency and precision. This commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology has solidified projetsolaire’s position as a trusted player in the French market.
Challenges in the French solar market
France’s solar sector faces unique challenges that complicate growth. Expanding in this market requires navigating complex regulatory requirements and building trust among consumers, who may be wary of aggressive sales tactics. Additionally, managing a web of permits and administrative approvals can slow projects down and raise costs.
projetsolaire faced the challenge of efficiently scaling its operations and building trust with its clients in France’s complex regulatory environment.
