What Bourgeois Global does

Bourgeois Global is a French designer and distributor of photovoltaic solar energy equipment, operating as a brand owned by SAS SOLIPAC (legal entity in Perpignan, headquarters in Toulouse). Founded in 2010, the company has built a comprehensive hardware ecosystem for residential and tertiary self-consumption solar: TOPCon bi-verre bi-facial PV modules (Bourgeois 500 BC at 500W and the 2026 515 BC), high-efficiency micro-inverters (99.8% efficiency) and centralized single/three-phase inverters, modular battery storage (Aura and Aura Mini, 2–6 kWh), the B-Smart intelligent meter with ±1% bidirectional accuracy, NFC 15-100 compliant protection boxes, the Horus Pro 2.0 BG monitoring application, and the NeptuO III thermodynamic water heater. The product stack is complemented by the Tourne-sol 420 BG plug-and-play ground station kit for entry-level customers.\n\nThe business model is a wholesale/distributor-led B2B2C motion targeting two primary segments: professional installers (electricians, solar specialists, construction professionals) and wholesale distributors (Solipac, Tereva, Ned, Cegeclim, BCA, BO2, C-Clim), reaching end residential and commercial customers through a network of over 200 sales points across France. Revenue is generated through hardware sales on a quote-based basis, complemented by an e-shop for partner communication materials and administrative-services revenue channeled through the Prim'So partnership (Enedis declarations, subsidy filings). The company invests heavily in installer enablement via the Expert Solaire certification program, the Simulateur Pro sales tool, the Espace Pro portal, and presence at major industry events (Open Energies, EnerGaïa).\n\nStrategically, Bourgeois Global is executing a product breadth offensive from 2024 through 2026, broadening from a panel-focused catalog into a full residential solar stack, while leaning on its Marque Préférée des Français 2023 consumer brand recognition and French distribution density as core defensible assets. The company remains privately held under SAS SOLIPAC with no disclosed external funding, headcount in the 11–50 SME band, and operations concentrated exclusively in France.
