Introduction
Feed-in tariffs 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 feed-in tariffs 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. Solar power in France including overseas territories reached an installed capacity figure of 11.2 GW in 2020, and rose further to 17.1 GW at the end of 2022.

Solar power generation in France
This graph provides an annual and monthly overview of solar power generation in France. The evolution of solar photovoltaic generation is an important parameter in the energy transition, as it is a renewable and low-carbon energy. In 2022, solar power generation rose sharply on the back of expanded capacity and good sunlight.

National Survey Report of PV Power Applications in France
Official statistics report the DC power of photovoltaic fields, as eligibility for Feed-in Tariffs and Tender support mechanisms is conditioned on peak DC power thresholds. It may be useful for the reader to know that the average generation across France is 1 160 kWh/kW, but that

The way forward for solar in France
Recently, solar PPAs have started to pop up all across France, from rooftop airport projects to large ground-mounted plants. This is a good indicator that solar energy is now a competitive energy source in France. One of those PPAs was signed by ENGIE for a 18 MW solar plant in south-western France, which is scheduled to start operations in 2021.
