In the context of the energy crisis, the solar roofing offer for
individuals will be available from September in the French stores
of Leroy Merlin
Voltalia (Euronext Paris, ISIN code:
FR0011995588), an international player in renewable
energies, announces
that its turnkey service for the installation of
photovoltaic solar panels for individuals is entering a new phase.
Available on the leroymerlin.fr website since October 2021, the
offer will now also be available
in Leroy Merlin
stores.
As France prepares to face the winter in a
context of high electricity prices and probable electricity
rationing for large industrial consumers, the production of local,
cheap and environmentally friendly energy is at the heart of
everyone's concerns.
True to its mission, Voltalia offers renewable
energy production solutions on all scales, particularly in the
field of photovoltaic solar energy: ground-based power plants; car
park shading; industrial, commercial and agricultural roofs; and
individual roofs.
Since 5 October 20211, Leroy Merlin has been
offering its customers a turnkey service for the supply and
installation of solar panels at home, combining its expertise as a
leader in home improvement with that of Voltalia, the international
solar expert. The offer is available on the Service page of the
Leroy Merlin website:
https://www.leroymerlin.fr/services/tous-nos-services-autour-du-panneau-solaire/installation-de-panneaux-solaires.html
Building on its success, the offer is evolving
and will also be available from September 2022 in Leroy Merlin
stores in 40 departments throughout metropolitan France. The map of
the stores where the offer will be available will be posted online
very soon.
Customers will therefore be able to go to the
store to be accompanied by their Leroy Merlin advisors in choosing
the most suitable solution from the various services available.
They will then be contacted by the local teams to carry out the
validation of the technical data, the planning of the system’s
installation and its commissioning.
This solar roofing service aims to reduce the
electricity bill of individuals by up to 60%. In order to
accelerate the implementation of local and competitive electricity
production, the French state is actively participating in the
process with three measures: a contract for the sale of
non-consumed production with a fixed price for 20 years, a premium
for self-consumption and a reduced VAT for installations up to
3kWp.
The solar roofing offer is a continuation of a
collaboration initiated with Leroy Merlin in 2020, which offers
small solar kits in its stores, developed by Voltalia, to install
yourself.
Sébastien Clerc, CEO of Voltalia, said: "In the
context of an unprecedented energy crisis, we are helping those who
wish to produce competitive and green electricity at home. The
turnkey solution offered by Leroy Merlin gives everyone the
opportunity to take concrete action to minimise the effects of the
current energy crisis while acquiring competitive, green and local
electricity production equipment for the long term.”
Reminder of the digital
offer
The digital interface is accessible from the
Service page of the Leroy Merlin website:
https://www.leroymerlin.fr/services/tous-nos-services-autour-du-panneau-solaire/installation-de-panneaux-solaires.html
The site provides access to the simulation tool
to outline the need, the size of the power to be installed and the
rate of self-consumption (the proportion of total consumption
satisfied by the production of the roof, as opposed to the
remaining consumption from the electricity network and billed by
the energy supplier).
As an illustration, for an installation of eight
panels, i.e. €three kiloWatts peak (kWp), the most common power,
the offer will start from €8,290 including VAT, with a
self-consumption premium of €1,140 euros to be deducted. The
turnkey service is offered and includes:
- Supply,
installation and assistance,
- Help with
administrative procedures (declaration of work, request for Enedis
connection, Consuel),
- 375 watt solar
panels with a 25-year performance guarantee,
- Mounting system
guaranteed for 20 years,
- Dashboard to
visualise the consumption and production of electricity.
At the end of its life, the equipment will be
recycled to more than 95% by PV Cycle, a non-profit
eco-organisation approved for the collection and recycling of used
solar photovoltaic panels.
