Testimonials

Dany

Poultry farmer (37)

See the project

The planning permission was granted within a year and the construction work went very smoothly. The result is improved animal welfare and a truly comfortable working environment for the farmer on a day-to-day basis.

Jean-Sébastien

Farmer (16)

The project went very well, and now we can really see the difference: more storage space and a much simpler daily routine.

Being able to protect our equipment and fodder prevents losses and extends the lifespan of our machinery. This is a real bonus for farm management.

Alain & Benoît

Cereal producers

This is the second building I’ve built with them. The first one helped me reach a new milestone, and this second project is now supporting the growth of my business.

Frequently Asked Questions

Mexens operates on a third-party investment model: we finance your solar panel installation in exchange for the right to use the solar roof for the duration of the lease. For certain solutions (poultry houses, greenhouses, climate-controlled shelters, etc.), the project is fully financed and may even generate an annual rental income. For a new building, Mexens covers the majority of the construction costs (framework, roofing, solar panels, connection), which significantly reduces your investment. In all cases, we offer a free, bespoke assessment to provide a precise cost estimate for your project.

The length of the lease varies depending on the type of project. During this period, Mexens operates the roof or solar installation and carries out maintenance. At the end of the lease, the terms for terminating the contract are set out from the outset: depending on the circumstances, the installation may be transferred to you or dismantled.

Mexens remains the owner of the solar installation for the entire duration of the lease and, as such, takes care of all maintenance, both preventive and corrective. You will not need to carry out any work or incur any costs in relation to the photovoltaic equipment.

Every project is subject to a bespoke feasibility study. The criteria vary depending on the solution being considered: available land area, geographical location, orientation and type of terrain, and the nature of the farming activity. The first step is to contact us for a free, no-obligation assessment. Our teams will evaluate the potential of your farm and recommend the most suitable solution.

Under a third-party investment scheme, Mexens installs the photovoltaic system (solar panels, inverters, cabling) and retains ownership of it for the entire duration of the lease. For your part, you insure your building and your farming business as you would normally do. The responsibilities of each party are clearly set out in the contract from the outset.
