Revenue model

1. Photovoltaic system installation (hardware + labor): One-time sale of complete photovoltaic systems including solar panels, inverters, mounting hardware, electrical components, and installation labor. Revenue is generated per project based on system size (kWc), roof configuration, and complexity. Includes free technical studies and regulatory filing support bundled into the sale.
2. Maintenance and preventive care contracts: Annual recurring maintenance contracts covering professional panel cleaning, electrical verification, structural inspections, and detailed reporting. Clients under contract receive 15% discount on all troubleshooting interventions. The company targets 1500+ clients under maintenance contracts.
3. Troubleshooting and repair services: Reactive on-demand services including inverter replacement, waterproofing remediation, and emergency electrical repairs. Pricing is quote-based per intervention. High-urgency response for professional clients with dedicated account management.
4. Solar simulator lead generation: The free online simulator captures prospect contact and project data, converting visitors into sales leads for follow-up by commercial advisors. This supports the sales pipeline without generating direct revenue.

Direct peers

• Otovo: Norwegian-headquartered rooftop solar installer with active French operations, focused on residential PV with integrated digital sales tools and battery add-ons. Otovo is the closest tech-enabled residential-only analog to C.O.A's resi-plus-pro rooftop solar franchise.
• Akuo Energy: Independent French renewable energy developer and EPC that operates across solar PV (rooftop, ground-mount, and floating) plus storage in France and overseas. Comparable to C.O.A in offering full-lifecycle PV services to B2B and public-sector clients but at materially larger project sizes.
• Urbasolar: French solar EPC and developer (subsidiary of the Sovacurt Group) active across rooftop, ground-mount, and agrivoltaics in France. Comparable business model to C.O.A as a vertically integrated French solar installer with mixed residential, commercial, and utility-scale exposure.

Broad incumbents

• EDF Solutions Solaires: EDF Group's solar installation arm, deploying residential and commercial rooftop PV nationwide under the EDF ENR brand. As the utility-owned French incumbent, it competes directly with C.O.A's customer segments but with far broader geographic reach and balance-sheet scale.
• Photosol: One of France's largest independent solar PV developers with a portfolio spanning rooftop, ground-mount, and utility-scale projects. Heavier tilt toward utility-scale development than C.O.A but overlapping rooftop/professional customer base in France.
• Reden Solar: Independent renewable energy producer with significant French PV presence (formerly RES Mediterranean). Competes with C.O.A for French rooftop and ground-mount project mandates but with a primarily utility-scale and large-project focus.
• ENGIE Home Services: ENGIE Group's residential services and installation arm for HVAC, electrical, and solar in France. Overlaps with C.O.A's residential rooftop PV plus maintenance offering, but ENGIE bundles solar within a much broader home energy services portfolio.
• TotalEnergies Renouvelables: TotalEnergies' renewables arm including the Helexia distributed solar business serving commercial, industrial, and public-sector clients in France. Competes for the same pro/municipal rooftop and carport mandates that C.O.A's 2024 Pro & Collectivités service targets.
