Portfolio of 100kW agricultural roofs

This portfolio of 19 rooftop power plants is the first to be developed by SMART ENERGIES. It mainly consists of installations on the roofs of agricultural buildings.

For this project, SMART ENERGIES entrusted the supply of modules to GCL SI and relied on SYNAPSUN and its direct sourcing support, which allowed it to control its supply from product negotiation to arrival on site.

“After 2 years of commercial development, we are proud of the commissioning of our first portfolio of our own power plants.

The challenge of this portfolio of projects was the delivery by site and our need for flexibility in logistics. Synapsun was able to orchestrate the supply of each site.

We are satisfied with the choice of GCL and its partner Synapsun for the supply of these projects.“

The SYNAPSUN advantages

sourcing en direct auprès des fabricants de module pv

Direct sourcing from pv module manufacturers

Synapsun supports you in negotiating your direct supply contracts with the manufacturer: Contract negotiation, production monitoring and operational and logistics management.

Throughout the full process of your project, SYNAPSUN team is your primary contact.

Controlled logistics

For this 100 kWp portfolio of projects, we have organized a site-by-site delivery. With 19 sites in total spread over 8 French departments from Var to Vendée, we had to adapt.

In order to follow the delivery in real time, we have set up GPS beacons for certain deliveries. In this way, the on-site teams were able to better prepare the unloading on site.
