Soleil en Tête: results in 2010 which confirm its rise
Founded in 2004, Soleil en Tête is the first company specializing in renewable energy for individuals to develop as a franchise. The company recorded a 2010% increase in revenue in 160, reaching €24,5 million. These figures are the result of its photovoltaic business, but in 2011 the company announced its intention to focus on a multi-product offering.
Batipôle Editorial
The leading franchise network specializing in renewable energies, Soleil en Tête is showing positive results and has seen its turnover increase by more than 160% in 2010. While last year's success was mainly based on photovoltaics, the network now wishes to refocus on its initial expertise: energy savings and renewable energies in all their forms.
Since the company's creation in 2004 in Fillinges (Haute-Savoie) and the opening of the first Soleil en Tête agency in 2008, the network has proven itself. Each year, it further strengthens its position as a French specialist in renewable energy for individuals.
In 2010, driven mainly by consumer enthusiasm for photovoltaics, Soleil en Tête achieved growth of 160%, with a turnover of 24.5 million euros compared to 9.4 million in 2009.
A NEW LINE OF CONDUCT: VERSATILITY
In 2011, to face the hardening of the photovoltaic market (risk of a fall in the buy-back price of electricity, inexperienced competitors who discredit the profession, abusive practices of low prices, etc.) Soleil en Tête wanted to return to its fundamentals and cultivate its multi-specialization again.
A true expert in the installation of everything type of renewable energy production solutions (solar photovoltaic of course, but also ecological heating, solar water heater, thermodynamic tank and other eco-solutions) it is with complete legitimacy that the network will extend and maintain its multi-product offer.
Driven by this new engine, Soleil en Tête is forecasting a 10% increase in its turnover for 2011. These are wise prospects given the spectacular growth of recent years, but they correspond to the current situation and will enable the network to strengthen the foundations of its success.
CONQUERING NEW TERRITORIES
With 40 branches in France, Soleil en Tête hopes to cover around fifteen new territories by the end of the year. Three branch openings are already planned for the end of February in Chalon-sur-Saône (71), Clermont-Ferrand (63), and Montluçon (03).
