Overview

Écosolaire is a French solar energy brand founded in Paris in 1979, described by the company as the first French player to advise, assemble and distribute solar equipment for individuals, professionals and isolated structures. The company specialises in off-grid solar autonomy — producing electricity without a grid connection — and has built more than four decades of expertise in this niche. Its product range covers solar panels, batteries, regulators, inverters, pumps and complete plug-and-play solar kits, with a strong focus on water pumping, irrigation, camping and remote power supply. Unlike a simple reseller, Écosolaire presents itself as a manufacturer: assembly is carried out in-house by its own teams in a workshop located in Burgundy, France. This allows the company to control quality and offer what it describes as a better quality-price ratio. It works exclusively with high-end components selected for robustness, reliability and technical compatibility, and cites recognised brands such as Solarex, Kyocera, SolarWorld, Steca and FVG Energy among the products it selects. The resulting pre-assembled and tested kits are designed to simplify installation and secure usage. The company began publishing a distance-selling catalogue of solar products as early as 1980 and launched its e-commerce website in 2007 to reach a wider audience. It serves customers in France and internationally, with after-sales service based in Burgundy, remote troubleshooting and technical support before, during and after purchase. Its mission is to provide access to clean, economical and autonomous energy wherever it is needed.

History

Écosolaire was created in Paris in 1979 and is presented by the company as the first French actor to have advised, assembled and distributed solar equipment for private individuals, professionals and isolated structures. The brand's historical expertise is rooted in off-grid solar autonomy, a field it has developed for more than four decades. In 1980, one year after its founding, Écosolaire published its first distance-selling catalogue of solar products, an early move into mail-order distribution of renewable energy equipment. The company continued to build its expertise in autonomous solar systems over the following decades, serving customers who needed electricity without a grid connection. In 2007, Écosolaire launched its e-commerce website, making its solutions accessible to a broader public. This shift to online sales complemented its historical catalogue and direct advisory approach. Over time, the company established itself as a manufacturer rather than a simple reseller. Assembly is carried out in-house by its own teams in a workshop located in Burgundy, France. This in-house production allows Écosolaire to control quality and offer what it describes as a better quality-price ratio. The company works exclusively with high-end components selected for robustness, reliability and technical compatibility, and offers fully pre-assembled and tested plug-and-play solar kits. Écosolaire's product range has expanded to cover solar panels, batteries, regulators, inverters, pumps and complete pumping kits, with applications including water pumping, supplying a water point, irrigating an orchard, camping and remote power. It selects recognised brands such as Solarex, Kyocera, SolarWorld, Steca and FVG Energy, and provides dedicated pages on the history of each brand. The company serves thousands of customers in France and internationally. Its after-sales service is based in Burgundy, with remote troubleshooting and support before, during and after purchase. Écosolaire describes its mission as offering access to clean, economical and autonomous energy wherever it is needed, and it continues to develop reliable, simple and durable solutions for off-grid electricity production.
