Girasole Energies has acquired six photovoltaic carport projects in France, adding nearly 30 MWp to its portfolio. The package includes two truck-parking canopy projects close to completion, totaling about 10 MWp, and four projects under development representing nearly 20 MWp. The seller was advised by Envinergy, while Girasole was advised by Fidae, BLCP, and Greensolver.

The signal is clear: France solar M&A is moving into practical, dual-use assets where buyers can convert industrial land into near-term generation. Girasole is not buying a large utility-scale pipeline. It is acquiring distributed solar projects tied to existing industrial sites.

The deal supports Girasole’s plan to acquire more than 60 MWp by the end of 2026, alongside organic growth in self-consumption and storage. The company also targets 500 MWp of installed capacity by 2028, after reaching 133 MWp cumulatively and commissioning its 500th power plant.

This mirrors wider European buyer behavior, where investors are prioritizing grid-connected, permitted, or near-operational assets over early-stage pipelines. Enerdatics notes that European M&A has increasingly favored de-risked solar and BESS assets, with stronger pricing for projects that offer grid access, permits, and execution visibility.

For Girasole, truck-parking canopies offer a scalable route: industrial land, distributed generation, and potential self-consumption demand.
