Revenue model
- Vente totale (Total sale of electricity) projects: Agriwatt designs and installs photovoltaic plants whose entire production is sold to EDF OA under a 20-year fixed-price contract. Revenue is generated from the sale of electricity (via EDF OA) plus the upfront installation fee paid by the client; typical for agricultural exploitations with large roof surfaces and low on-site consumption (cereal storage, livestock buildings).
- Autoconsommation totale (Full self-consumption) projects: Installation of photovoltaic plants sized to cover the client's annual electricity needs, with no sale of surplus. Revenue model is one-time installation revenue plus ongoing maintenance contract revenue; relevant for clients with regular year-round electricity consumption (dairy farms with milking robots, livestock needing constant temperature, food processing, refrigeration, drying).
- Autoconsommation avec revente de surplus (Self-consumption with surplus sale) projects: Installation of plants producing more than the client consumes; surplus is sold to EDF OA at a tariff fixed for 20 years from commissioning. One-time installation revenue + maintenance contract revenue + economic value of avoided grid electricity.
- Preventive and corrective maintenance contracts: Recurring maintenance service (preventive visits, remote telesurveillance, panel cleaning, technical support) provided to all clients, generating recurring revenue. Includes annual group production analysis and customer hotline.
- Solar panel cleaning service: Standalone or add-on service charging based on the surface of the plant and roof slope (robot vs manual telescopic brush). Quoted per project.
- IRVE / EV charging stations and solar self-consumption for tertiary (via Acelec): Following the May 2024 acquisition of Acelec, the group offers turnkey installation of EV charging stations (IRVE), storage solutions and dynamic energy management for tertiary and industrial clients (hotels, logistics operators, retail).
- Methanization-coupled photovoltaic installations: Specific offering for biomethane / co-generation methanization units: self-consumption solar coupled with the unit to reduce the ~30% OPEX represented by electricity. Specialized engineering offering with tailored ROI (≈9.2-9.3 years cited).

Agriwatt product offering
Product offeringCore offering
Agriwatt designs, installs and maintains turnkey photovoltaic power plants (36 kWc to 996+ kWc) for professional clients (agricultural holdings, SMEs, industrials, local authorities) across Northern France. The company delivers three commercial value models — full sale (vente totale), full self-consumption (autoconsommation totale), and self-consumption with surplus sale — and wraps each installation with daily remote telesurveillance, preventive maintenance and, through its 2024-acquired subsidiary Acelec, EV charging infrastructure and energy storage for tertiary/industrial sites.
Product overview
Agriwatt operates as a single integrated solar-services company rather than a multi-product SaaS platform. Its core offering is the Centrale Photovoltaïque turnkey service, delivered as five physical installation modules — Toiture (rooftop), Sol (ground), Ombrières (solar carports), Batteries (storage) and Bornes de recharge IRVE (EV charging) — and structured around three commercial value models: Vente totale, Autoconsommation totale and Autoconsommation avec revente de surplus. Wrapped around the core installations are the Maintenance Préventive, Supervision et Télésurveillance, and Lavage des panneaux solaires services, plus the specialized Photovoltaïque + Méthanisation combo offer. Through the 2024 acquisition of Acelec, the portfolio was extended with high/low voltage expertise, energy storage up to 1 MWh, and EV charging infrastructure for tertiary/industrial B2B clients. Agriwatt is the historical agricultural-rooftop specialist (since 2008), while Acelec extends the offer to tertiary/industrial B2B and large-scale storage — together forming the Générations Renouvelables group.

Agriwatt competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Akuo Energy: Independent French renewable energy developer active in solar, storage and agrivoltaics; relevant as a larger, well-capitalized competitor and ecosystem participant in agricultural and SME solar segments.
- Urbasolar: Established French PV developer and EPC with rooftop, ground-mounted and floating solar; broader geographic and project-size footprint than Agriwatt, but overlapping in B2B agricultural and tertiary rooftop installations.
- Enerplan: French professional solar association and industry voice; not a direct installer but a key ecosystem reference for the same agricultural and SME PV segments Agriwatt serves, and a useful proxy for sector trends and policy.
Direct peers
- Genergie: French solar EPC specializing in agricultural, tertiary and industrial rooftop PV with associated storage; directly comparable B2B customer base, multi-region French footprint and turnkey delivery model.
- Tenergie: Independent French solar EPC serving agricultural holdings, SMEs and local authorities with turnkey PV, storage and self-consumption offerings; operates in overlapping Northern France territories with similar client verticals.
- Cap Solar: French B2B solar installer focused on agricultural and SME rooftops, providing turnkey PV projects with maintenance contracts; closely comparable target customer base and vente totale / autoconsommation offering.
- Soleil Vert (Solutions Solaires): French turnkey photovoltaic installer serving agricultural, SME and local-authority clients across regional France; directly comparable business model to Agriwatt (study, install, maintenance) in the same autoconsommation/vente totale segments.
Others
- BayWa r.e. Global renewables developer and supplier of the prefabricated BayWa shelter used by Agriwatt; relevant as a key technology/integration partner and adjacent ecosystem player in the same French agricultural PV niche.
- Soren (formerly PV Cycle): French eco-organization for end-of-life PV module collection and recycling; Agriwatt already partners with Soren for hail-related maintenance, making it an adjacent ecosystem participant rather than a competitor.
Emerging players
- JPee (JP Energie Environnement): French independent renewables developer with growing solar EPC activity, including agricultural and SME rooftop projects; comparable offerings to Agriwatt though typically focused on larger project sizes.
