What Beem Energy does

Beem Energy is a France-based designer and seller of a residential solar energy ecosystem, founded in 2019 and headquartered in Nantes. The company targets individual homeowners and — through a newer Beem Pro segment — small businesses, social landlords, local authorities, and agricultural operations. Its portfolio spans plug-and-play solar kits (Beem Kit, Beem On), professional rooftop installations (Beem Roof, 3–9+ kWc), lithium-ferrophosphate (LFP) home batteries (Beem Battery 6.6–13.4 kWh; Beem Battery Plus up to 20 kWh, three-phase), an intelligent EV wallbox (Beem Charger), and an associated mobile app (Beem Energy App) for monitoring and AI-assisted charge/discharge optimization. The company reports that more than 50,000 households have been equipped across Europe, holds 8 patents, sources its battery cells from CATL, and benefits from ADEME compliance, Origine France Garantie, and RGE QualiPV installer certifications.

The core technology stack combines photovoltaic panels (monocrystalline for Beem Roof, bifacial on Beem On), micro-inverters, and proprietary LFP battery architecture with an integrated inverter and a built-in backup function capable of delivering up to 24 hours of autonomy during grid outages — a feature Beem states is unique on the French residential market. The Beem Battery is engineered to be compatible with any third-party solar installation, which broadens the addressable upsell base beyond Beem's own PV products.

Beem operates a hybrid go-to-market: direct-to-consumer e-commerce via beemenergy.fr (with self-serve savings simulator, free expert consultation, and 4x/10x interest-free financing), physical retail through six major French chains (Carrefour, Leroy Merlin, Leclerc, Mr Bricolage, Weldom, Intermarché) for plug-and-play kits, and a national network of RGE-certified installers for Beem Roof and Pro deployments. Pricing is unit-based, ranging from €299 for a Beem Kit 300W to €13,990 for a Beem Battery Plus 20 kWh, with project-based quotes for Beem Roof installations. The company is private, employs 11–50 people, and has raised approximately €29 million across three funding rounds, most recently a €20 million Series A in May 2023 led by Cathay Innovation with Alter Equity, 360 Capital, and BNP Paribas Développement. Stated forward objectives include equipping 500,000+ households by 2030 and expanding into Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands.

Revenue model

1. Solar Hardware Sales: Beem generates the majority of its revenue from selling physical solar products: plug-and-play kits (Beem Kit, Beem On), rooftop installations (Beem Roof), and solar accessories. These are one-time hardware purchases, with optional financing. The company also sells batteries (Beem Battery, Beem Battery Plus) and EV chargers as complementary hardware.
2. Professional Installation Services: Beem provides full-service professional installation for Beem Roof and Beem Battery Pro through a network of RGE-certified installation partners. The bureau d'études handles technical studies and project management. This service is bundled into project quotes for residential and commercial customers.
3. Accessories and Add-ons: Beem sells accessories including extension cables (5m at €30, 10m at €40, 20m at €50), mounting hardware, and battery expansion modules (Beem Battery Power Block). These are one-time add-on purchases complementing the core hardware range.
