SunLib, a French solar-as-a-service company, has secured €25 million (~$29 million) from Épopée Gestion, which operates through its Infrastructure and Climate funds.
Jeantet served as an adviser for SunLib in this financing. SunLib was also advised by Green Giraffe, as a financial advisor on this transaction. Chammas and Marcheteau advised Epopée Gestion.
The company provides customers with access to solar panel installations across France through a monthly subscription model. According to the company, this is believed to remove two major obstacles, the initial cost and the complexity of access.
The funds raised will be used to finance equipment for thousands of new subscribers starting in 2026 and support the local installer network. This also enhances the company’s ability to grow its business model, targeting 100,000 customers by 2030.
“Épopée Gestion is particularly enthusiastic about supporting SunLib in accelerating its development in France. We have identified SunLib as a committed and visionary team that, with its solar subscription solutions, is democratising access to affordable, local, and carbon-free electricity. With our shared culture of innovative entrepreneurship, we are already working on new services that will soon complement the solar subscription offering for individuals, businesses, and local authorities,” says Emmanuel Walliser, Director of Infrastructure at Épopée Gestion.
According to Mercom’s Annual and Q4 2025 Solar Funding and M&A report, Global VC and private equity funding in the solar sector in 2025 came to $3.5 billion in 75 deals, 22% lower than the $4.5 billion raised in 60 deals in 2024. There were eight VC funding deals of $100 million or more in 2025.
In July, Sunsave, a U.K.-based solar subscription service provider, secured £113 million (~$151 million) in an oversubscribed funding round. The funding includes a £100 million (~$134 million) debt facility from Crédit Agricole CIB as well as £13 million (~$17 million) in Series A equity from a co-led round by Norrsken VC and IPGL.
