The sun is undoubtedly the most inexhaustible source of energy on our planet. This renewable energy is one of the major solutions to sustainably and responsibly meet humanity’s energy needs. For nearly 20 years, we have been dedicated to its large-scale deployment.
As the solar division of the Swiss energy company Axpo, which we joined in 2019, we produce renewable, decarbonized, and competitive electricity. To achieve this, we design, develop, build, and operate high-performing and innovative photovoltaic systems across Europe.
Our values form the foundation of the relationships we maintain with our clients, partners, and employees. They safeguard our purpose: a group dedicated to your solar projects, working together for more virtuous energy worldwide, on our shared and unique home—Earth.
The quality of our projects is the best reflection of our teams’ commitment, who always demonstrate a high level of rigor to ensure client satisfaction and project success.
