Repowering
Your power plant is a valuable asset. Preserve it. Enhance it
With Feedgy repowering, you extend the life of your installation, increase its production, and secure your revenue without using any additional land.
Performance for maximum production
Your solar power plant is a major asset in your energy portfolio. But over time, its performance diminishes:
- Is your system producing poorly?
- The solar panel manufacturer has disappeared?
- Would you like to increase your solar energy production?
Repowering means replacing your key equipment to restore your power plant to its full potential, while maintaining your EDF OA feed-in tariff.

Feedgy is the French leader in repowering solar power plants.
Your power plant is precious, we know how to reveal its strength
Results
For us, repowering means optimizing photovoltaic power plants with a unique approach: co-innovating with our solar panel manufacturer to make the best use of available land and the light that irradiates it.
- A 30-year product warranty - compared with an average of 15 years - and a 30-year performance warranty.
- A 10% reduction in the cost price of your electricity.
- Maximum surface efficiency, i.e. maximum power per m²: we were at 130 Wp/m2 in 2012, and we'll double that by 2026.
When should
repowering be carried out?
The best time is during the maintenance period of your EDF OA feed-in tariff.
Don’t let this opportunity pass you by, dare to take no chances.
The difference between current and potential production must be sufficient to achieve a return on investment.
The drop in performance of an installation is not necessarily obvious. That’s why it’s important to carry out an audit to determine your eligibility.
Repowering applies to all types of solar power plants:
The impact of repowering on profitability

kWh go to waste!
Repowering support
After a complete audit of your system, we will upgrade it, minimizing your plant's downtime.
Our unique approach allows you to make the most of your property assets without the administrative hassle of setting up a new power plant.
Our team of experts, combining technical, financial and legal expertise, is with you every step of the way, ensuring that your project is carried out to perfection, with complete peace of mind.
Financial projections
Economic viability of the project validated upstream of the contract, thanks to gain projection algorithms. Once the technical study has been completed, we present you with a 20-year vision of the profitability of your investment.
Technical engineering
We create an optimized project for each application: geographical context, nature of the building, orientation, etc. All the features that make your installation unique are studied to offer you the best solution.
Legal engineering
Backed by its experience in over 400 repowering projects, Feedgy takes care of the administrative aspects of your project, acting as a go-between with the third-party players needed to ensure the compliance of the renovated installation: EDF OA, ENEDIS, etc.
Site of excellence
The installation itself is carried out by one of our trusted partners or by your regular installer/maintainer. Quality and compliance with safety standards are essential criteria for all our projects.
Feedgy doesn't just replace your old equipment
Light is the fuel of solar panels. Our research has enabled us to identify new sources of energy amplification, which boost the overall efficiency of the installation. We also select the best equipment on the market for you: high-efficiency panels, intelligent inverters, sustainable technologies. No exclusive contracts: we select what's best for your plant, not for our suppliers.
Reconditioning service for used panels
In keeping with our commitment to the environment, old panels are recycled or reused if they are still usable.
Your panels cannot be reused in France for a new installation with a new electricity purchase contract: the regulations prohibit this. If your panels are still producing, we can help you recycle them so that you can still make a profit from them. Feedgy has set up a dedicated service to give them a second life in a country where they will be of concrete social use.
If the panel's deterioration is too great for it to produce at a satisfactory level in complete safety:
Its components will be recycled to avoid pollution and extend the life of the materials for further use.
How much of a solar panel can be recycled? Between 70% and 98%!
Feedgy collaborates with Sorenthe government-approved eco-organization for photovoltaic panel recycling in France. It plays an active role in working groups aimed at improving the reuse of degraded panels, as well as in R&D projects for innovation and eco-design by solar panel manufacturers.
FAQ - Solar repowering with Feedgy
Repowering involves modernizing an existing photovoltaic power plant by replacing or optimizing its components (panels, inverters, control systems, etc.) to improve performance, lifetime and profitability.
Your solar power plant may be eligible for repowering if it was commissioned before 2015 and is now showing signs of underperformance, such as a drop in production, recurring breakdowns or equipment that has become obsolete. To qualify for repowering, however, your installation must meet certain criteria: it must have a purchase contract of type S06, S10 or S11, and its output must exceed 50 kWp.
In addition to bringing the plant into compliance, repowering improves the energy efficiency of the facilities, thereby increasing electricity production. By modernizing equipment, it also helps to
Since its creation in 2015, Feedgy has successfully completed over 400 repowering projects in France. A recognized expert in solar power plant modernization solutions, Feedgy stands out for its comprehensive support, from initial audit to commissioning, its network of technical and financial partners and its exclusive tools, such as Escore, which enable precise diagnosis and efficient optimization of installations.
