          Solairedirect was founded in 2006 when France introduced feed-in tariffs for solar photovoltaic installations. Three years later, the company had a strong presence in the large-scale solar power plant market and offered a unique service package to residents. In 2010, however, the French government initiated a reduction in its feed-in tariffs.
