Enrise: transform industrial roofs & parking lots into solar power plants, without CAPEX
Enrise unlocks the solar potential of industrial roofs with a turnkey, digital, CAPEX-free solution for energy and property performance.
Solar self-consumption is becoming an essential building block in the energy transition, particularly for C&I, which is still largely under-equipped.
We chose to place our trust in Enrise, because of its digital, turnkey approach, which at last makes it possible to turn solarization into a concrete lever for land value enhancement, energy cost reduction, and regulatory compliance. And above all, without effort, without CAPEX, and on a large scale.
Solar self-consumption: a strategic shift for real estate
Triple pressure on commercial real estate
The commercial real estate industry faces three converging pressures:
- Strong regulatory constraints (tertiary sector decree, APER law);
- Reduced asset liquidity as interest rates rise;
- A growing demand from tenants for more sober and competitive premises.
In this landscape, solar self-consumption is no longer just a matter of ecological transition: it's a strategy for heritage enhancement.
An under-exploited deposit
France has over 680,000 commercial and industrial rooftops, but less than 5% of them are equipped with photovoltaic solutions. Why is this? Because the process is still perceived as slow, complex and costly.
This is precisely where Enrise comes in: with an integrated solution, designed for multi-site owners, that speeds up, automates and makes reliable the entire solarization cycle.
Enrise: frictionless solarization at scale
A turnkey, 100% digital solution
Enrise relies on a proprietary technology platform and a nationwide network of installers. Its offer covers :
- Feasibility studies,
- Administrative procedures,
- Financing,
- Installation,
- Maintenance,
- Performance monitoring.
Result: power plants installed in less than 8 months, up to 30% savings on tenants' electricity bills - with no investment required on the part of the owners.
A design conceived for scale
Enrise adopts a multi-asset approach, where traditional players move forward on a site-by-site basis. Thanks to its digital approach, it enables real estate companies to decarbonize their entire portfolio quickly, standardized and cost-effectively.
"We were impressed by Enrise's ability to execute quickly and well. Their model is based on vertical integration and scalability: a real game-changer for a sector historically slow to transform."
- Charles-Henry Choel, Partner at Asterion Ventures
A team driven by a clear vision
Founded by Paul Astrup and Armand d'Ambrières, joined by Pascal Marguet (founder of APEX Energies), Enrise benefits from both :
- An excellent understanding of the real estate sector and its operational constraints;
- Technological mastery of the solarization cycle;
- A strong field execution network.
Their vision: to turn every roof into a productive asset, and transform regulatory constraints into levers for sustainable profitability.
An accelerating market
The momentum is clear: France is aiming to double its solar capacity within 5 years. The regulatory framework is shaping up in favor of self-consumption, photovoltaic materials are on the decline, and the social acceptability of solar power has never been higher.
Enrise is perfectly positioned to capture this opportunity, with a ready-to-use solution and a team that ticks all the boxes: ambition, execution, impact.
At Asterion, we believe that the energy transition requires concrete solutions that can be deployed now. Enrise brings a triple response to the real estate sector: energy, economic and regulatory, with a capacity for execution that is rare in this sector.
That's why we're so proud to support Enrise at this key stage in its development. Together, we want to turn the sun into an asset, and accelerate the decarbonization of buildings.
