What Enrise does

Enrise is a French solar developer founded in 2023 and headquartered in Castelnau-le-Lez, specializing in self-consumption (autoconsommation) photovoltaic solutions for commercial, industrial, and tertiary real estate. The company deploys rooftop solar installations (Centrales sur toitures), parking solar canopies (Ombrières de parking), and on-site battery storage (Stockage), supplemented by OPQIBI-certified Loi APER exemption studies for non-viable sites. Enrise's core technology combines standardized rooftop installation workflows with a "double automation system" that the company reports reduces construction time by approximately 50% versus traditional approaches.

Enrise operates under a third-party investment (tiers-investissement) model: the company finances and retains ownership of 100% of installed solar assets, sells the generated electricity to property owners and tenants at rates below grid pricing, and captures long-term value across the 20-year asset horizon. Customers — typically property owners, asset managers, and operators of C&I buildings — face no upfront capital expenditure, instead receiving approximately 30% reductions in electricity costs and reported annual gains of €50,000 per site over 20 years. The company also monetizes regulatory compliance expertise under France's Loi APER and Décret tertiaire, where non-compliant sites risk penalties of up to €40,000 per year.

Enrise sells exclusively through direct enterprise sales with dedicated account management and a free feasibility-study offer, serving enterprise customers including Invesco, Dekra, Cleia, TwentyTwo Real Estate, Basic-Fit, Intermarché, and Norma. In June 2025, the company closed its first institutional seed round of €8M from a syndicate led by Asterion Ventures and SET Ventures (with Bpifrance, Ventech, Ring Capital, Climate Club, AFI Ventures, and Siklaé), with stated use of funds including tripling headcount, scaling rooftop and parking deployments, and expanding into battery storage.

Revenue model

1. Third-Party Investment (Tiers-investissement): Enrise finances and owns the solar installations, providing customers with energy at competitive rates without upfront investment. Revenue comes from selling solar energy generated to customers at rates lower than grid electricity, while retaining ownership of the physical assets and capturing long-term value from energy production and savings.
2. Regulatory Compliance Services: Revenue from helping property owners achieve compliance with French regulations (Loi APER, Décret tertiaire), including exemption studies, implementation, and ongoing monitoring services.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Centrales sur toitures (Rooftop solar plants) Rooftop photovoltaic installations on commercial, industrial, and tertiary buildings that convert unused roof surface into on-site solar generation. Enrise finances, installs, owns, and operates the systems under a third-party investment model, supplying the produced energy to the building at rates below grid electricity and reducing the customer's bill by approximately 30%.
• Ombrières de parking (Parking solar canopies) Solar canopies erected over parking lots that shade vehicles while generating renewable electricity, helping property owners comply with French parking solarization requirements under Loi APER and Décret tertiaire. Can be paired with optional battery storage and EV charging, and is delivered turnkey under Enrise's third-party investment model.
• Stockage (Battery storage) On-site battery storage systems that store excess solar production, increase the share of self-consumed energy, and create additional revenue opportunities. The offering can be combined with rooftop and parking canopy installations and is integrated into Enrise's third-party investment delivery model.
• Études d'exonération (OPQIBI-certified regulatory exemption studies) OPQIBI-certified technical studies delivered by Enrise for sites where rooftop or parking solar installation is technically, structurally, or economically constrained, used to justify regulatory exemption from French solarization mandates. The deliverable is recognized by the prefecture and forms a discrete compliance service offered to property owners.
