Our values

Optimism

We believe that the electricity generated by our photovoltaic installations is an energy of the future—one that will help build a sustainable world. Oil, gas, and coal have historically driven the growth and development of industrialized nations and enabled the transformation of our economies and lifestyles. Yet today, they still account for nearly 60% of global energy consumption.

At Photosol, we are committed to evolving the energy mix by expanding the production of clean solar power, while creating value for local communities. Through proactive and collective efforts, we believe we can succeed—and we are convinced that we have a key role to play in achieving these goals.

Despite the challenges, our optimism remains unwavering: together, we are building a sustainable future, driven by the belief that solar energy can transform the world and inspire generations to come.

Agility

Although Photosol now has nearly 300 team members, we continue to operate with a start-up mindset: a collaborative approach that breaks down silos, agile methods and workflows that involve teams from the earliest stages of a project, streamlined decision-making, innovation at every level, and often tailor-made solutions to meet the specific needs of each partner and the realities on the ground.

While we keep learning every day, the hundreds of installations we’ve delivered over the past 15 years—and even more so since expanding into large-scale rooftops and solar carports—demonstrate our ability to adapt quickly to industry challenges with both creativity and pragmatism.

Closeness

For the past 15 years, we’ve carried out large-scale projects in collaboration with local stakeholders, drawing on both regional specificities and our accumulated experience. One key insight has become clear: to better understand local areas and their stakeholders—residents, elected officials, associations, and the farming community—we need to build strong, trust-based relationships and stay closely connected to their ambitions and needs. In addition to our offices in Yzeure, Bordeaux, and Montpellier, we now have agencies and subsidiaries in Lyon, L’Isle-Jourdain, Nantes, and Tours.

Being close also means being part of the local ecosystem—sharing studies and research that aim to improve the technologies and services offered by photovoltaic solar energy, both in terms of energy production and agricultural integration, as part of our ongoing effort to refine and enhance our solutions.

Dialogue

We foster a culture of openness and exchange, where tolerance and mutual respect are essential to building long-term relationships of trust—both within our teams and with our partners and stakeholders.

At Photosol, we are committed to clearly communicating the principles guiding our actions in each territory where we develop projects. This stems from a firm belief: engaging in active listening and meaningful dialogue with all stakeholders and local residents leads to the fairest and most balanced expression of shared interests within a community.
