Gaetan, what role does the French market play in Peimar’s development strategy in Europe?
“France currently has around 32 GWp of installed photovoltaic capacity, but its potential remains considerable, with an estimated capacity of more than 340 GWp, over 30 times the current level. Development on this scale could cover the country’s entire electricity consumption using only already developed surfaces such as rooftops, car parks and brownfield sites.”
“In 2026, the market is clearly moving towards large-scale installations (>100 kWp), particularly through the deployment of self-consumption solutions at industrial and commercial sites, including collective self-consumption. At the same time, new trends are becoming increasingly established, such as the rapid development of data centres, the expansion of electric vehicle charging infrastructure and the growing number of public tenders aimed at local authorities.”
“In this context, Peimar’s development in France represents a strategic priority for the next ten years. Our ambitions are fully aligned with the European dynamic, addressing the challenges of energy sovereignty and reducing dependence on fossil fuels.”
Bruno, what makes Intersolar a key opportunity for engaging with customers and partners?
“Intersolar Europe is a key event because, in just a few days, it brings together the entire decision-making chain of the photovoltaic sector: manufacturers, distributors, developers and investors.”
“In my role as Peimar’s representative in France, this allows me to engage directly with industry players, quickly qualify concrete projects and accelerate decision-making.”
“It is also a strategic lever for strengthening brand credibility, consolidating existing partnerships and keeping track of market developments in real time, allowing us to adapt our positioning accordingly.”
“Today, in the French market, the real issue is no longer just the price of the module, but the security of the project as a whole. With Peimar, we are talking about European production, with greater industrial visibility, which helps reduce supply chain risks, strengthen bankability and anticipate regulatory developments. The goal is not to be the cheapest, but to be the most reliable in the long term.”
“If the objective is solely to optimise CAPEX, there are highly competitive solutions available. If, on the other hand, the objective is to safeguard the project for 20–30 years, then PEIMAR becomes a strategic option.”
Xavier, which values of the French branch stand out most in your conversations with visitors at the trade fair?
“Professionalism, respect and responsiveness are, in my opinion, the values that best define the French team.”
“These qualities naturally emerge in our interactions with visitors at the trade fair and help build a relationship based on trust and closeness.”
Aziz, which product or solution best represents your offering for the French market today?
“For the French market, the solutions that best represent our offering today are the 450/460 W bifacial TOPCon panels and Peimar 500 W Full Black modules. The 450/460 W panels are particularly well suited to the residential market, small commercial installations and, above all, photovoltaic carport projects.”
“Peimar 500 W Full Black modules are among the most compact 500 W panels on the market. Their format allows for better optimization of the available roof space, particularly for residential installations, while maintaining excellent aesthetic integration.”
