About SYNAPSUN

Founded in 2017, SYNAPSUN is an innovative French company specialized in the sourcing, engineering, and trading of photovoltaic solar modules for the B2B market.

We support project developers, EPC companies, and solar construction stakeholders by simplifying and securing their PV module supply chain through quality sourcing, regulatory compliance, logistics, contracting, and after-sales support.

Profitable since day one, founder-owned, and generating over €25 million in annual revenue, SYNAPSUN is now accelerating its European expansion.
