About SunLib

SunLib is a French mission-driven company founded in June 2024 to make solar energy accessible through a subscription-based model. The company was co-founded by Arnaud Langlois, Karine Lienhard, Philippe Ramès, and Benjamin May, a team of experienced leaders in finance, law, marketing, and business development who aimed to remove the financial and logistical barriers to solar panel adoption. SunLib is headquartered in Aix-en-Provence, a location chosen for its ample sunshine and dynamic greentech ecosystem.

The company operates on a solar-as-a-service model, offering turnkey photovoltaic installations for a monthly subscription fee, eliminating the need for a significant upfront investment from the customer. This subscription, which starts from €49 per month, covers administrative procedures, installation by a certified professional, maintenance, and monitoring through a dedicated application. The business model is designed to provide customers with a 10-15% reduction on their electricity bills after the subscription cost. SunLib serves a diverse client base, including private individuals, businesses (such as hotels and healthcare establishments), and local authorities across France, with installations ranging from 3 kWc for residential use to 300 kWc for commercial properties.

SunLib relies on a network of independent, certified contractors for the installation and maintenance of the solar panels. By the end of 2024, the company plans to launch a proprietary application for real-time monitoring of solar installations to help users optimize their energy consumption. The company has been financed by its founders and a business angel fundraising round. It is planning a significant funding round in the first half of 2025 to accelerate its growth, aiming for 3,000 customers by the end of 2025 and 100,000 by 2029.
