Ecooo Revolución Solar

What Ecooo Revolución Solar does

Ecooo Revolución Solar (legal name: ECOOO ENERGÍA CIUDADANA S.COOP.) is a Madrid-based worker cooperative (Cooperativa de Trabajo Asociado) founded in 2005 that operates a citizen-owned renewable energy platform. Its commercial model bundles three revenue streams: (1) residential and organizational photovoltaic self-consumption installation under the Oleada Solar brand, reporting 48 new installations and 670 kW of added capacity in 2025; (2) subscription-style investment in socialized solar plants (Plantas Socializadas) with a €500 minimum investment, through which the cooperative has distributed €18,287,543 to participants over its lifetime (€592,206 in 2025 alone) across 4,772 participants; and (3) municipal consulting plus the OTC (Oficina de Transformación Comunitaria) service for setting up and managing Local Energy Communities (Comunidades Energéticas Locales) across Madrid, Soria, Galicia, and Guadalajara. Complementary offerings include Aerotermia heat pumps, paid Guardabosques environmental training courses (€75-150), the Espacio Ecooo 300 m² event venue in Lavapiés, the Escuela de Activismo Económico, and the Proyecto 50/50 Detectives Energéticos education program.

The underlying technology stack is rooted in distributed solar generation rather than software: photovoltaic system design and installation, air-to-water heat pump integration, and a proprietary OTC methodology for legal, technical, and community-governance setup of local energy communities. The cooperative ecosystem is multi-sided, with 850 consumer-members, 190 supplier-members, and 40 collaborators added in 2025, and lifetime figures of 9,107 contracts, 93,553 MWh produced, and 55,439 tonnes of CO2 avoided. The pricing model combines quote-based project fees for installations, multi-year investment contracts from €500, professional services for municipal consulting, and unit-priced course fees, with public pricing only disclosed for the investment product minimums and Guardabosques courses.

Customer segments split between municipalities (Ulldecona, Colegio CC Palomeras, and other ayuntamientos contracting 2026 work), individual households (320 new self-consumers in 2025), and other cooperatives and NGOs in the social-and-solidarity-economy ecosystem. Go-to-market relies on community referrals, public-figure endorsements, earned media in major Spanish outlets, direct municipal field sales, and consultative inside sales, with no traditional reseller or marketplace channels. The cooperative is registered with Spanish cooperative authorities, operates without profit motive, and reports a workforce in the 11-50 range across operations, community management, marketing, sales, and administration.

Regional players

• Enercoop: French citizen renewable energy cooperative producing and supplying green electricity. Directly comparable on cooperative ownership of generation assets and solidarity-economy positioning; not overlapping geographically but model-comparable.

Broad incumbents

• Iberdrola Renovables: Spain's largest utility with significant distributed solar and 'Comunidades Energéticas' offerings. Overlaps with Ecooo in Spanish residential PV and municipal energy-transition services but at vastly greater scale and with utility pricing power.
• Endesa (Enel): Major Spanish utility offering autoconsumo and community-energy programs through its commercial arm. Competes with Ecooo for both residential self-consumption and municipal energy-transition engagements in Spain.
• SunPower Corp. Global residential and commercial solar PV and storage company. Comparable on residential PV self-consumption product offering in mature solar markets, albeit at significantly larger scale and with proprietary module technology.

Direct peers

• Som Energia: Catalan/Spanish renewable energy cooperative selling green electricity and developing citizen-owned solar plants. Directly comparable as a Spanish social-economy cooperative with socialized generation assets and a member-investor model parallel to Ecooo's 'Crece Solar'.
• Greenpeace Energy: German citizen-owned renewable energy cooperative selling green power and operating community solar. Similar cooperative-ownership model and social-economy positioning to Ecooo, though headquartered in Germany.
• Holaluz: Spanish residential solar and green-tariff company operating in Iberia. Closely comparable to Ecooo on residential PV self-consumption targeting and Spanish market focus, though organized as a commercial company rather than cooperative.
• Factor Verde: Spanish residential and SME PV installer offering autoconsumo across Spain. Overlaps with Ecooo's Oleada Solar installation business on target customer (Spanish households/organizations) and product (grid-connected PV).

Emerging players

• Otovo: European residential solar subscription/leasing operator active in Spain and other markets. Comparable business model slice: residential PV with recurring revenue rather than one-off sale, in competition for the same autoconsumo customers.
• Sonnen (sonnen GmbH): German residential solar storage and virtual power play company. Comparable on distributed energy and residential energy-independence narrative but storage-led rather than PV-investment-led.
