About
Land was only the beginning.
Solmeria evolves a proven origination model into an international platform to originate, buy, sell and move solar and storage projects forward.
Our history
From a French sole-trader to a European platform.
Our model was founded in 2020 in Aix-en-Provence, initially as a sole-trader operation and incorporated as a SAS in December 2021. The premise was straightforward : bring structure and trust to the match-making between landowners and solar developers.
Since 2023, we have also been developing projects under our own name on the sub-1 MWc segment, under the French APER Act.
In February 2024, PV Magazine named us « Actor of the week ». In June 2025, we won our first CRE tender, a 1 MWc project in Gurgy (Yonne), now under construction.
What we do
- Trusted intermediary between two worlds that often struggle to communicate
- Landowners, no sales pressure, with agronomist engineers
- Developers, IPPs & investors, an international marketplace and qualified origination
- Compensated as an independent business introducer ; never by landowners
The market has moved
From land to value.
Solar is not going away. It is moving : from land to new assets, from France to Europe, from volume to value. Grid connection, monetisation, margin compression and the need for liquidity and qualified dealflow are reshaping developer priorities.*
Not a vendor. A copilot.
Solmeria, the central partner.
Solmeria helps developers, IPPs, investors and sellers move faster : originate, buy, sell, qualify and connect the right projects to the right counterparties.
Mission & vision
Give solar and storage developers the means to move their projects forward faster, further, and to create more value, from sourcing to transaction.
Ambition : make Solmeria a European reference infrastructure for the origination, transaction and valorisation of solar and storage projects.

The team
Nine people, four agronomist engineers in the field.
Our project managers are agronomist engineers, not generalist brokers. That changes the conversation with landowners, and the quality of the file, on the developer side.

What the industry says.
We do not communicate about transactions, confidentiality engagements forbid it. We communicate about public recognition and milestones.
