In Toulon, most homes are flats, but many detached houses, from Les Routes to Cap Brun via Le Mourillon or the slopes of Mont Faron, have roofs suited to a solar installation. Shading, wind exposure and the rules for your neighbourhood still need to be checked.
What makes each Toulon project particular
The relief of Mont Faron and surrounding hills, and building density, can cast shadows on some roofs at the start or end of the day. The mistral, frequent in the harbour, means fixings must be checked.
In the old centre and near historic monuments, projects visible from public space may need the opinion of the Architecte des Bâtiments de France. In condominiums, the owners’ meeting’s agreement is generally required.
What we check in this area
- Shadows cast by relief, trees or neighbouring buildings
- Wind resistance and proximity to the sea
- Building status: detached house, condominium, semi-detached house
- Planning rules and any protected area
- Your daytime consumption, notably air conditioning in summer

Frequently asked questions
I live in a flat in Toulon, can I install panels?
An individual installation is rarely possible in a flat. A collective project can sometimes be studied with the condominium. Contact us to discuss.
Do I need permission from Toulon town hall?
A prior declaration of works is generally required. In some areas, the opinion of the Architecte des Bâtiments de France may also be needed.
Do you work in La Seyne, La Garde or La Valette?
Yes, these communes are part of our service area.

Financial aid: whether aid exists, its amount and your eligibility depend on your situation (income, status, type of home), on the technical characteristics of the project and on the schemes in force at the time of the study. We check these points with you; no aid is guaranteed in advance.
