About

Founded in 2023, Rayons Verts is a co-op headquartered in Venerque, France specializing in Solar.

Rayons Verts is a Société Coopérative d'Intérêt Collectif (SCIC) cooperative focused on citizen-owned renewable energy production in the South Toulouse region. The cooperative develops photovoltaic installations on collective buildings and municipal properties, prioritizing proven solar technology with 20+ year equipment lifespan and guaranteed 20-year energy buyback rates. Electricity is sold to Enercoop, a cooperative supporting renewable energy development. Members invest at their chosen level with shares blocked for 5 years, and significant profits are reinvested in additional installations. Governance follows cooperative principles with one-person-one-vote in general assemblies determining capital remuneration and reinvestment rates. The cooperative aims to support local communities lacking resources for renewable development while promoting energy consumption reduction.
