TotalEnergies strengthens its position as the market leader in rooftop solar installations in France by ranking first in the latest call for tenders issued by the French Energy Regulatory Commission  winning more than 80 MWp or 22% of the capacity awarded.

This new success strengthens TotalEnergies’ position as one of the major developers in France for solar installations on rooftops with a capacity exceeding 500 KWp. This includes installations such as building rooftops, greenhouses, warehouses, canopies and agrivoltaic shades.

By solarizing its B2B customers’ sites, TotalEnergies supports the energy transition of businesses across various sectors. TotalEnergies sells renewable electricity to its customers, which is generated on their own sites, allowing them to significantly reduce their electricity bills while reducing their carbon footprint.

“We are very proud of this performance which attests to our expertise in rooftop photovoltaics, a fast-growing market,” said Marin de Montbel, Managing Director, TotalEnergies Renewables France. “All these new projects confirm our status as a key partner to companies engaged in the energy transition and the decarbonization of their operations in France.”
