In the latest draft, which is open to consultation (in French) until April 05, the French government has revised its targets from 75-100GW – set in November 2024 – by 2035 to 65-90GW. By 2030, the country expects to reach 54GW of installed solar PV.
France remains one of the top performing countries when it comes to the development of Rooftop solar policy and practices, but deliverables still need to be achieved. France's photovoltaic (PV) policies are developed within the National Low Carbon Strategy and the Energy Programme Decree.
To meet these targets, France will rely heavily on structured tendering procedures. Beginning in the first half of 2025, the government plans to launch two annual tenders for ground-mounted solar projects, each awarding 1 GW of capacity. In parallel, three rooftop solar tenders per year are scheduled, with each round targeting approximately 300 MW.
By the end of 2023, France had installed 19.3GW of solar PV capacity, 1.3GW short of the target it had set in its previous programme. Moreover, the country also targets between 5GW to 10GW of annual solar cell and module manufacturing capacity by 2035, while reaching 3GW to 5GW of annual nameplate production for ingots and wafers.
Mandatory solar: Solar PV is mandatory for living roofs for commercial and industrial buildings or covered car parks occupying 500 m2 or more of ground surface. Power to the people: France’s current policy framework is supportive of collective self-consumption and energy communities, with flexible regulations supporting prosumers.
Overall there has been significant growth in PV capacity within France, with around 2,229 MW added to the grid between January-September 2023, reaching a cumulative capacity of 19.0 GW of installed PV capacity. However, there are issues to the lack of construction capacity and training and employment in the sector.
