EDP develops, finances, builds and operates large-scale solar power plants on all types of surfaces: rooftops, carports, building facades, ground-mounted sites and agrivoltaic installations. We transform your property portfolio into sustainable energy assets, from the feasibility study right through to long-term operation. No upfront investment is required if you opt for our As-a-Service model, whether in Belgium, France or Luxembourg.
Maximize every surface: roof, carport, ground-mounted & facace
Energy, now at the heart of strategic decisions
Industrial roofs, car parks, open spaces, and building facades: every unused surface presents an opportunity for energy generation. EDP designs bespoke solutions tailored to your technical requirements and your financing model – whether CAPEX or pure OPEX – in line with your strategy.
A 3-step approach
Technical study and photovoltaic potential analysis
Comprehensive site analysis: optimal orientation and tilt for solar panel installation, assessment of available surface area (flat roof, pitched roof, ground-mounted, carport), analysis of your energy consumption profile, and identification of technical and regulatory constraints. Our engineers provide precise system sizing and a detailed quotation to maximize self-consumption and return on investment.
Intelligent management and optimized performance
Thanks to an Energy Management System (EMS) powered by AI, your solar production, energy self-consumption, battery storage and grid load management are optimized.
Turnkey construction of your photovoltaic power plant
We manage all stages of the EPC project (Engineering, Procurement, Construction): system sizing, supply and selection of best-in-class solar technologies, permitting and authorizations, installation by our certified teams, grid connection and commissioning. Transparent project management with real-time monitoring.
Solar-as-a-Service: Central photovoltaic installation with no investment (€0)
EDP finances, builds and operates your solar power plant. You pay only for the energy generated, at a contractually guaranteed rate for up to 25 years. No upfront investment, no maintenance costs, no technological risk on your balance sheet, and savings visible from your very first bill.
Contracts ranging from 10 to 30 years.

FAQ
The performance of solar panels is guaranteed for up to 25 years, or even 30 years, and the lifespan of an installation is around 40 years. Solar panels have a degradation rate of around 0.40% per year, which means that after 25 years of use, their efficiency will decrease by 10%.
The return on investment for a solar system depends on factors such as geographical location, the orientation of the covered surface, and electricity consumption. Typically, however, the payback period for a photovoltaic system should be between four and eight years.
Over time, photovoltaic efficiency changes. The loss of efficiency in PV panels is approximately 0.4% per year, which means that after 25 years of use, their efficiency will decrease by 10%. Proper care and maintenance will enable you to achieve optimal performance over several decades.
Yes, it is entirely possible to install solar panels on flat roofs. Industrial flat roofs offer large usable surfaces. The panels are installed at an optimal angle to maximize energy production. We systematically check the load-bearing capacity of the structure before installation.
A self-consumption solar power plant allows you to directly use the electricity you produce, offering several major advantages: immediate reduction of your energy bill, independence from rising electricity prices, clean and local energy production contributing to your CSR objectives, valorization of unused surfaces (rooftops, parking lots, land), and the possibility of collective self-consumption to optimize usage across multiple buildings. Our EMS (Energy Management System) optimizes your self-consumption rate in real time by synchronizing solar production, consumption, and battery storage.
