☀️ Participate in the financing of the development of 11 photovoltaic projects in France!
After a successfully funded first portfolio on our platform at the end of 2024, E-Sweet Energies, a French company based in Lyon, is looking to raise funds for a second portfolio of 11 photovoltaic projects located in mainland France. This portfolio of agrivoltaic and ground-mounted projects represents a total capacity of 56 MWp.
E-Sweet Energies is seeking to raise €2,100,000 to finance the development costs of this portfolio as well as the development of the company. The funds raised will be used, among other things, to finance the studies and administrative procedures necessary to bring the projects to the “ready-to-build” stage.
The estimated production at this stage of development is approximately 78,500 MWh, equivalent to the consumption of almost 16,400 households* or 36,200 inhabitants*.
*Average annual consumption of 4,770 kWh per household excluding heating and 2.2 people per household (INSEE)

The project
Portfolio Characteristics
The development portfolio consists of 11 solar projects, including 2 classic photovoltaic projects, 7 agrivoltaic projects, and 2 agricultural-compatible projects, located in 10 departments of metropolitan France.
The total capacity of the portfolio is 56 MWp, with an average capacity of 5.1 MWp per project. The estimated average production is 1,402 kWh/kWp/year.
The solar panels planned for the plants are equipped with bifacial technology mounted on solar trackers. These technologies will optimize electricity production through direct sunlight and the capture of reflected light.
