Siliceo

What Siliceo does

Silicéo SAS, founded in 2009 and headquartered in Saint-Martin-sur-le-Pré (Marne, France), is a family-owned photovoltaic solar installer operating under the Groupe Silicéo umbrella. The company designs, installs, and maintains solar PV systems for four primary customer segments: agricultural operators (rooftop, agrivoltaic, ground-mounted), industrial operators (rooftop, parking shade, APER compliance), tertiary sector actors (retail, commercial property), and public sector / local authorities (public buildings, collective self-consumption). Its product portfolio spans rooftop solar (Toiture photovoltaïque), parking shade canopies (Ombrières de parking), ground-mounted installations, self-consumption (Autoconsommation), full electricity sale (Vente totale), and battery storage with energy management (Stockage et Pilotage). The technology stack is built on industry-standard Tier-1 inverter and monitoring platforms — SolarEdge, SMA, ABB, and Fronius — with no proprietary AI/ML layer disclosed.

Silicéo operates through a multi-subsidiary structure covering the full project lifecycle: Ingélios provides technical and economic engineering, Silicéo and Ecopart handle design and installation (Ecopart also operates from Marchaux-Chaudefontaine in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté), and VisionEnR delivers long-term operation, maintenance, and monitoring over the 25-year asset lifespan. Revenue is generated through one-time project sales (hardware + installation), recurring O&M subscriptions, professional services (feasibility studies, regulatory consulting), battery storage integration, and transaction fees from arranging EDF OA 20-year fixed-price electricity resale contracts. Pricing is bespoke and project-specific; a representative 100 kWc turnkey installation is priced at approximately €75,000–€80,000, with industrial LCOE of €70–85/MWh over 20 years.

Go-to-market is exclusively direct enterprise field sales, supplemented by an event-driven demand generation engine (proprietary Journées Énergie, regional matinales, and French agricultural trade shows including Foire de Châlons, SPACE, Viti Vini, Agrimax, Solar'agri Day). Silicéo has submitted over 100 dossiers to CRE calls for tenders with a 98%+ success rate, and operates across 8 French regions. The company is technologically conventional, financially self-funded (no disclosed funding rounds), and positioned as a regional reference actor in French B2B solar rather than a national or pan-European platform.

Revenue model

1. Solar installation project sales (hardware + installation): Silicéo generates primary revenue from the sale of turnkey photovoltaic installations, including hardware (panels, inverters, mounting systems, wiring) and installation labor. Projects range from residential-scale (a few kWc) to industrial-scale (hundreds of kWc). Pricing varies by project size, type (roof, ground, parking shade), and complexity. A 100 kWc project example is priced at approximately €75,000–€80,000, excluding connection costs.
2. Engineering, consulting, and regulatory advisory services: Silicéo provides technical and financial feasibility studies, business plan modeling, regulatory navigation (CRE calls for tenders, APER compliance, CSRD reporting), and administrative project management as professional services.
3. Operation, maintenance, and monitoring (O&M) services: Through subsidiary VisionEnR, Silicéo provides ongoing monitoring, maintenance, and cleaning services for installed solar plants over their 25-year operational lifespan, generating recurring service revenue.
4. Battery storage system integration: Silicéo designs and installs battery storage systems coupled with solar installations, enabling deferred self-consumption, smart cycling, and grid services, adding hardware and integration revenue to core solar projects.
5. Electricity sales (resale of solar production via EDF OA): Silicéo arranges for customers to sell their solar production to EDF Obligation d'Achat under 20-year fixed-price contracts, or through collective self-consumption arrangements (ACC), enabling electricity resale revenue that is integral to project financing.

Core offering

Siliceo designs, installs, and maintains turnkey photovoltaic solar systems and battery storage solutions for professional and agricultural clients across France. The company covers the full project lifecycle from technical and economic feasibility studies through engineering (Ingélios), installation (Siliceo and Ecopart), and 25-year operation and maintenance (VisionEnR). Offerings include rooftop, parking shade, ground-mounted, agrivoltaic, self-consumption, full-sale, and storage configurations under one integrated group structure.

Product overview

Silicéo offers a comprehensive photovoltaic solar energy portfolio comprising six core products organized around two primary business models: self-consumption (autoconsommation) and full electricity sale (vente totale). Their installation solutions include rooftop photovoltaic systems (Toiture photovoltaïque), parking solar canopies (Ombrières de parking), and ground-mounted installations (Installation au sol). Supporting these installation types, they provide battery storage and intelligent energy management systems (Stockage et Pilotage) that enable revenue stacking through load shifting and grid services. The company structures its service delivery across the project lifecycle using Group entities: Ingélios handles technical and economic engineering, Silicéo manages commercial and installation services, Ecopart provides regional coverage, and VisionEnR delivers long-term maintenance and monitoring. This integrated approach supports clients across agricultural, industrial, tertiary, and public sectors throughout their solar projects' 25-year operational lifespan.
