National Survey Report of PVPower Applications in France2024 J U L Y 2 0 2 5PVPS Author:Mélodie de l’Épine, Becquerel Institute, France 2024 National Survey Report ofPV Power Applications in France Key Highlights Installations and Capacity:A record 6 GW of new PV was installed, pushing cumulative capacity toaround 30 GW DC (25 GW AC), with more than two-thirds of new capacity on rooftops acrossresidential, commercial and industrial segments. System and Module Costs:Module prices continued to fall, dropping by 0.2 EUR/Wp in theresidential segment, though rising costs for mounting and permitting kept utility-scale system costsrelatively stable, with only a small decrease in overall costs. Corporate PPAs:Corporate PPAs saw reduced attractiveness due to falling electricity market prices,leading to fewer new contracts initiated in 2024 compared to the volume of agreements initiated in2023. Project Pipeline:France’s project pipeline remains robust, with over 6 GW in the grid connectionqueue holding signed preliminary DSO contracts and another 19 GW of projects with urban planningand environmental permitting authorised, highlighting the potential for strong future growth incommissioning. Policy and Support Mechanisms:Changes in support mechanisms are expected to slow thevolume of new residential and C&I projects from 2025, impacting commissioned volumes in 2026. Breakdown of Installations Cumulative PV Capacity in France(2010-2024) Added Installed Capacity by Segment In 2024, photovoltaic systems connected to the grid reached significantly higher volumes than in 2023.The medium-sized roofs segment saw significant growth in 2024. Competitiveness of PV Electricity In 2024, the price of mainstream modules for utility scale systems declined 25%, while modules prices for theresidential sector declined by up to 45%. The main drivers of this drop remain high production capacity in China remaining well above the markets ability toabsorb. With market barriers in North America and India, Chinese modules continued to be oriented towards theEuropean market, with supply largely exceeding demand. Average distribution of investment costs in €/W(excluding tax) for a ground-mounted installation >10 MWp. Average breakdown of investment costs €/W (excludingtax) for a rooftop installation of 5 to 10 kWp in 2024 Long-Term Strategy: France's PV policies are guided by the National Low Carbon Strategy (SNBC),National Targets targeting carbon neutrality by 2050, and the Multi-Year Energy Programme (PPE), outlining 10-yearenergy objectives.Targets: The PPE still sets the target for French photovoltaic capacity at 20.1 GW AC1 in 2023 and aLong-Term Strategy:France's PV policies are guided by the National Low Carbon Strategy (SNBC), targetingcarbon neutrality by 2050, and the Multi-Year Energy Programme (PPE), outlining 10-year energy objectives. cumulative capacity range of 35.1 GW AC to 44 GW AC to be achieved by 2028. Public consultationson these updates are ongoing.Targets:The PPE maintains the target of 44 GW (AC) of PV capacity to be reached by 2028. Public consultationson these updates are still ongoing. France’s revised National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP) sets as a suggested target up to 60 GWof installed capacity by 2030, with the goal of installing between 5.5 and 7 GW per year. The focuswould be primarily on utility-scale projects, followed by commercial and industrial systems.France’s revisedNational Energy and Climate Plan (NECP)sets as a suggested target up to 60 GW of installedcapacity by 2030, with the goal of installing between 5.5 and 7 GW per year.

Policies supporting PV Open volume feed-in tariffs for BAPV :Feed-in tariffs and net-billing tariffs are segmented according to systemsize and vary each trimester. In 2024, 3 312.8 MW of systems accessing the FiT were commissioned, nearly 80%more than in 2023. Merchant and corporate PVdevelopment consolidated in 2024 thanks to evolving regulatory frameworks,shifting economic pressures, and growing corporate responsibility regarding sustainability and energyindependence. PPAs remained the principal mechanism. Collective self-consumption:The number of virtual metering projects doubled in 2024, with a total of 73.6 MWAC (+ 50.9 MW in 2024) across 698 projects and 7,232 consumers. Calls for Tenders:In addition to traditional tendering mechanisms, 2024 also saw the launch of an innovativescheme targeting PV deployment along the national highway network. Outlook After strong growth in 2024, support mechanisms were overhauled in early 2025, with a drop of some feed in tariffsand a planned shift to simplified tenders to allow the government more control over the volume of projects. This willmean reduced volumes in residential sectors in 2025. Amendments to mandatory solar laws may be loosened, andthere is a strong pipeline of utility scale projects. Wan
