[pdf] France is aiming to increase its solar PV capacity from 11.5 GW in March 2021 to 23 GW by the end of 2023. The country offers for small-scale solar PV up to 100 kWp on rooftops for self-consumption, with a specific grid tariff for collective users and exemption from the domestic tax on electricity for projects under 1 MW. However, a proposal to reduce solar PV subsidies for ongoing projects until 2030 has created controversy, affecting the sector's growth. This report offers a comprehensive analysis of France’s photovoltaic market and developments over the past year. 2023 was a record-breaking year for PV installations in France, with a total of 4.0 GW of new photovoltaic capacity added to the grid, pushing the country’s cumulative capacity to 24.5 GW DC.
