Soleil en Tête shines a spotlight on photovoltaics

Renewable energies: 236% growth for Soleil en Tête

The leading franchise network specializing in renewable energies, Soleil en Tête saw its network turnover increase by 236% in 2009. In 2010, it plans to further accelerate the pace of development to reach 30 million euros.

In just a few years, Soleil en Tête has established itself as the French specialist in renewable energies for individuals: photovoltaic solar electricity, solar water heaters, solar heating, aerothermal energy.

In 2009, the network achieved a turnover of 9.4 million euros compared to 2.8 million in 2008. In 2010, thanks to a proactive development policy, the brand hopes to reach 30 million euros. 
Although the economic crisis slowed the number of agency openings in the second half of 2009, it did not have a negative impact on the network's turnover, because Soleil en Tête is operating in a booming market and its offering meets an increasingly important need.

For example, the photovoltaic sector - which represents 60% of the company's turnover - is very popular with consumers, as it is considered a very profitable ecological gesture despite the 2 cent drop in the price of electricity buyback announced by EDF for 2010.

PHILIPPE DARRICARRÈRE:
"WE WANT TO TRIPLE OUR TURNOVER IN 2010"

"We offer a range of highly competitive products and services, complemented by tailor-made financing solutions," explains Philippe Darricarrère, Network Director. "Our facilities provide the best guarantee of optimizing consumer objectives, both in terms of additional income and energy savings. 
"We are operating in a promising market and we have all the technical and managerial skills needed to grow our network. This is why we have set ourselves significant growth targets, such as tripling our turnover in 2010," he concludes.

In terms of network development, Soleil en Tête intends to continue its networking across France by creating around twenty new agencies.
