Secure Your Energy Expenses with Photovoltaics
Solar energy: the solution to control your energy costs
Photovoltaic solar energy allows you to secure your energy expenses by using a renewable, free, and inexhaustible source: the sun. With a lifespan of over 30 years, solar panels represent a profitable long-term investment. Once installed, they produce low-cost electricity that can either be fed into the grid or consumed directly on-site through a self-consumption system.
By producing and consuming your own electricity or opting for a Corporate Power Purchase Agreement (CPPA), you reduce your dependence on energy suppliers, protect your budget from market fluctuations, and ensure a reliable electricity supply.
Technological innovations in solar panels have increased their productivity, making photovoltaics highly competitive, with solar energy prices often lower than fossil fuel prices.
Who can secure their energy expenses?
Industries, logistics providers, mobility actors, healthcare facilities, large retailers, leisure operators, and even local authorities—any entity looking to reduce energy costs can use photovoltaic solar energy to stabilize energy expenses and ensure a constant and predictable electricity supply.
Whether on the ground, on water, on rooftops, parking lot canopies, or even greenhouses, photovoltaics is a flexible solution that adapts to a wide variety of sectors and sites across France!
Our teams
and solutions
Our teams assess the solar potential of each site to offer you the most productive, cost-effective, and sustainable option. Thanks to our operations and maintenance department, we ensure the daily functioning and upkeep of each of our solar plants to guarantee continuous maximum production.
As a solar energy producer, we offer a range of photovoltaic and supply solutions to help you control your energy expenses, secure your electricity supply over the long term, and prepare your site for greater energy independence.
They trust us
At Glas Trösch, we are committed to developing environmentally friendly products that accelerate the energy transition for our customers. As a company eager to reduce our carbon footprint, the photovoltaic plant project was a decisive step for us.
For this project, we considered the site’s environmental challenges and reduced the building’s ecological footprint. Installing a photovoltaic plant on the site’s roof allows us to offset part of our energy expenses by renting the roof to a specialist in solar energy production and operation, the Urbasolar group.
The construction of the plant, which began in early 2024 and was completed by the end of the year, was carried out in perfect synergy with the site’s activities and in complete autonomy. The interactions with the Urbasolar team were very constructive, and the project was well managed from start to finish. The morning mist and fog were pierced by the winter sun’s rays, enabling the production of the first kW of solar energy after the plant was connected to the electricity grid by ENEDIS.
