Overview
SkySun finances, develops, installs, and manages solar installations on large rooftops, car parks, and vacant land in Belgium and France, then sells the generated green electricity to client businesses under long-term PPAs with no upfront cost. SkySun funds the project, handles monitoring and maintenance for up to 20 years, and delivers electricity to the client at a fixed price below grid rates, with any excess power sold to the grid or to an energy community; storage options boost self-consumption and grid stability. Its approach differs from many competitors by acting as a dedicated third-party investor and offering turnkey energy-as-a-service, including ZincLike for historic zinc rooftops and battery storage for grid services. SkySun’s goal is to make solar energy affordable, reliable, and accessible for SMEs, industrial clients, and real estate sectors, while expanding decentralized energy production and improving energy security.

What believers are saying
- Andera Partners and Wallonie Entreprendre backed SkySun’s €16.85 million Series A in September 2024.
- The October 2026 Mouscron project delivered 4,000 panels and 1.7 MWp with IEGSUN.
- SkySun’s 2026 portfolio spans Brussels, Paris, Strasbourg, Lyon, and multiple visible flagship sites.
What critics are saying
- SkySun still depends on 2024 capital and execution to hit its 750 MW target by 2030.
- Utility and developer rivals can undercut fixed PPAs, compressing margins by 2027.
- A failed France scale-up or underperforming rooftop portfolio would break the model’s economics.
What makes SkySun unique
- SkySun finances, installs, and operates B2B solar with zero upfront client capex.
