What Sun'R does

Sun'R is a French renewable energy developer and producer headquartered in Paris, founded in 2007 (with 2009 referenced as a corporate founding date) and operating as the first mission-driven company (entreprise à mission) in the French energy sector since 2021. The company develops, constructs, and operates solar photovoltaic infrastructure in three modalities: rooftop installations (toiture solaire), parking canopies (ombrière de parking), and ground-mounted solar farms (centrale au sol). Through its Sun'Agri subsidiary, it also provides specialized agrivoltaism solutions for crop protection (vineyards, market gardening) and livestock protection. A BESS/flexibility offering complements the solar portfolio, and the company retains hydroelectric heritage expertise. Operationally, Sun'R produces 180 GWh annually with a +98% availability rate and has 1200 MWc of capacity in development.

The company serves three primary customer segments: large enterprise accounts (grands comptes) seeking to reduce electricity costs and meet extra-financial reporting requirements; local authorities (collectivités) pursuing territorial energy transition and land valorization; and the agricultural sector requiring climate adaptation through agrivoltaism. Named customers include MACIF (insurance), Aéroport Toulouse-Blagnac (with AREC Occitanie), Cambrai, Béziers, Lamagistère, and Tardieu. The go-to-market is consultative enterprise field sales with no self-serve or marketplace channels; pricing is project-by-project and not publicly disclosed.

Sun'R generates revenue through two mechanisms: one-time project development and construction fees (developing solar farms, parking canopies, and rooftops for clients), and recurring revenue from operating its own installed capacity as a developer-producer selling green energy via PPA structures. The company employs 101-250 people, operates primarily in France with stated international ambition, and is privately held. In May 2021, it closed a €30 million investment round from RGREEN Invest, IDIA CI, Sofilaro, and Bpifrance to fund buyout of minor shareholders and support a stated target of fivefold growth over five years. Antoine Nogier serves as founder, president, and CEO.

Core offering

Sun'R develops, engineers, and operates renewable energy infrastructure for large enterprise accounts, local authorities, and the agricultural sector in France and internationally. Its core offerings include rooftop solar (Toiture), parking canopies (Ombrière), ground-mounted solar farms (Centrale au sol), agrivoltaism systems for crops and livestock (delivered through the Sun'Agri subsidiary), hydroelectric valorization, and hybrid photovoltaic plus battery energy storage (BESS) flexibility services.

Product overview

Sun'R is a renewable energy developer and producer offering an integrated portfolio of solar, agrivoltaic, and hydroelectric solutions primarily for large commercial and municipal clients in France and internationally. The core product line includes photovoltaic systems deployed across three modalities: rooftop solar (Toiture), parking canopy shades (Ombrière), and ground-mounted solar farms (Centrale au sol). The agrivoltaic division, branded as Sun'Agri, provides specialized systems for crop protection (vines, market gardening) and livestock protection. A flexibility solution with battery energy storage (BESS) complements the solar offerings. Hydroelectric solutions round out the portfolio for territorial heritage valorization. The company operates as a mission-driven enterprise focused on accelerating the transition to 100% renewable energy.

Brands

• Sun'Agri: Pioneer of agrivoltaïsme, developing solutions and systems for adapting agriculture to climate change

Products and services

• Toiture solaire (Rooftop Solar) Solar panel installations on new or renovated building rooftops that enable property owners — typically large enterprises and local authorities — to generate solar electricity on-site and reduce energy costs.
• Ombrière de Parking (Parking Canopy Solar) Solar canopy structures installed over parking areas, providing shade and weather protection for vehicles while generating solar electricity from the elevated photovoltaic panels. Designed for large enterprises and local authorities with significant parking footprints.
• Centrale au sol (Ground-Mounted Solar Farm) Ground-mounted utility-scale solar farm installations that valorize previously unused or non-productive land to generate solar electricity. Targeted at land-owning enterprises and local authorities seeking to convert idle assets into energy-producing, revenue-generating sites.
• Agrivoltaïsme sur culture (Crop Agrivoltaism) Agrivoltaic systems designed to protect crops — including vineyards and market gardening operations — from climate warming impacts while enabling continued agricultural production underneath. Delivered through Sun'R's Sun'Agri subsidiary.
• Agrivoltaïsme d'élevage (Livestock Agrivoltaism) Agrivoltaic solutions for livestock farming that protect animals and pastures from climate warming while generating solar power. Delivered through Sun'R's Sun'Agri subsidiary.
• Hydroélectricité (Hydroelectric Solutions) Hydroelectric power solutions that enable valorization of existing hydroelectric heritage and promote short-circuit (local) energy distribution, primarily serving local authorities with hydroelectric assets on their territory.
• Sun'Agri (Agrivoltaism Subsidiary Brand) Sun'Agri is the Sun'R Group subsidiary brand specializing in agrivoltaic solutions and systems for adapting agriculture to climate change, operating as a pioneer in agrivoltaic technology for both crop and livestock protection.
