THE CEO AND FOUNDER
Christophe Goaguen embarked on his entrepreneurial journey in 2008, armed with extensive experience in large-scale industrialization gained during his tenure at Thomson and Thales. With an impressive background, including an MBA and degrees in electronics engineering, he focused on pioneering innovations. One notable accomplishment is the creation of an all-in-one hybrid solar inverter, revolutionizing the solar energy industry by making solar kWh more cost-effective than one purchased from the electricity grid.
IMEON ENERGY
A pioneering figure in the industry, Christophe Goasguen founded IMEON ENERGY in 2013 to introduce his groundbreaking solutions both in France and globally. IMEON offers a compact and easily installable all-in-one solution that leverages advanced artificial intelligence algorithms to enhance the cost-efficiency of solar installations with energy storage and extend battery life.
A decade since its inception in 2013, the company has solidified its position as the global leader in hybrid solar inverters enhanced by artificial intelligence. IMEON now boasts a dedicated solar self-consumption system that has garnered the loyalty of over 6,000 users worldwide. This innovative solution allows users to harness energy generated by their solar installations while efficiently storing excess power in lithium batteries. Beyond conventional power electronics, IMEON stands out for its integration of artificial intelligence, which intelligently manages various energy sources and battery usage based on consumption and production forecasts.
IMEON products play a pivotal role in reducing the cost per kWh generated by solar installations, thereby making solar energy competitive with grid power and accessible to a broader audience.
AN EXPONENTIAL MARKET
As per a report from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), available at https://irena.org/, energy storage capacities will surge dramatically, anticipated to grow between 17 to 38 times their current levels by 2030. This remarkable market potential has begun to draw the attention of fresh entrants to the solar industry, including prominent players from the domains of power electronics and automation, such as Schneider Electric, as well as manufacturers traditionally focused on grid-connected solar inverters like Sungrow, Goodwe, Ginlong, SolarEdge, and Enphase, among others.
STRATEGIC PRIORITIES AND DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS
With the successful completion of this initial public offering, IMEON ENERGY is poised to expedite the launch of innovative products, broadening its product portfolio and extending its reach to a more extensive spectrum of end-users across residential, industrial, and commercial sectors.
Over the next five years, the company, headquartered in Brest, has ambitious plans for expansion into key markets, including Switzerland, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the United States. IMEON ENERGY intends to establish local technical centers in these regions to provide proactive customer support and efficient after-sales services in close proximity to its valued users.
IMEON ENERGY has set a target of achieving €82 million in sales by the year 2028, affirming its commitment to sustainable growth and continued excellence in the industry.
Louis Thannberger, expert in financial strategy and IPOs, with 450 IPOs under his belt, is advisor to the president of IMEON ENERGY.
