Now, the company is launching a franchise model to make solar easier and more professional for individuals. The model combines local entrepreneurs who know their regions well with a central team that provides tools, support, and top-quality products.
Solarock partners with local, reliable suppliers like DualSun to offer durable, high-performance systems at great value.
According to Laure Crémieux, CEO and co-founder of Solarock: “We have built a healthy, virtuous, and efficient model that can be replicated in the form of franchises thanks to an expert central team and advanced technological tools.
This fundraising will enable us to scale this success nationally. With only 3 per cent per cent of homes equipped for self-consumption, out of more than 13 million compatible homes, the French residential solar market represents a potential of over €200 billion – we have a bright future ahead of us!”
“We are convinced that the future of photovoltaics relies on a winning combination: local and high-quality solutions, rigorous operational excellence, and cutting-edge technological innovations. Solarock embodies this vision perfectly, demonstrating both the rapid profitability of its model and its long-term positive impact,” says Heidi Lindvall, General Partner and Investor at Pale Blue Dot.
The funding will help Solarock boost its R&D efforts to create new tools like advanced monitoring systems and improved energy storage, supporting greater energy independence.
The company is also building a smart control solution for home electrical devices and batteries, helping customers get the most out of their solar setup.
