Solarock is a French company dedicated to solar self-consumption for residential and small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) clients. Founded in 2023 by Laure Crémieux (CEO), Benjamin Barnathan (President), and Joseph-Marie Valleix (COO), the company aims to simplify a market often perceived as complex and opaque. Based in Paris, Solarock initially focused its operations on the Île-de-France region and surrounding departments.
The company provides a turnkey photovoltaic solution that includes precise system sizing using AI-powered simulation tools, selection of durable equipment, installation, integration of storage solutions, and production monitoring. Clients can track their energy production in real-time through a dedicated mobile application. Solarock offers a comprehensive service that covers the initial project study, administrative procedures, installation, and ongoing support to maximize self-consumption. The company partners with well-known manufacturers like DualSun for panels and Enphase for inverters.
Solarock's business model is centered around a network of hyper-local agencies, which it is expanding nationwide through a franchise system. This hybrid model combines autonomous local entrepreneurs who build client trust with a central expert team that provides technical tools, administrative support, and selected products. Franchisees pay a fee of 15-25% of their revenue in exchange for these services. This structure is designed to reduce costs and enhance the customer experience. In July 2025, Solarock raised €7 million in a funding round from investors including Pale Blue Dot, Noa, Ring Capital, and Kima Ventures to scale this franchise model and invest in R&D for innovative tools like advanced monitoring and smart control systems.
