About

Founded in 1981, FAFCO Solar is a private headquartered in Dijon, France specializing in Solar.

FAFCO Solar was founded in 1981 through the partnership of Fafco (California-based solar collector manufacturer) and Technotherm (Swedish heating equipment manufacturer). The company specializes in unglazed solar thermal collectors for pool heating, featuring a unique patented design with welded tubes that maximize light absorption. In 2012, the group Eren acquired FAFCO. In 2017, Eren relocated FAFCO's manufacturing operations to France near Dijon. The company's collectors achieve solar absorbance exceeding 95% (certified by École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne) and can increase pool water temperature by 4-7°C in 12 hours. All materials are infinitely recyclable. The manufacturing facility now uses renewable energy, including photovoltaic panels and innovative heating/cooling systems.
