by Catie Owen | Feb 11, 2025 | Market Reports | 0 comments France is emerging as a European solar powerhouse, with capacity surging to 17.1 GW in 2022 and a goal of 100 GW by 2050. This report explores the country’s innovative policies, groundbreaking technologies like floating solar farms, and the key players propelling the industry forward.
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.
Off-grid PV power systems: There is no official data collection process for off-grid systems in France; any data presented are best-of-knowledge estimates. Reported in AC or DC? All power data is given in DC power.
In 2023, the PV energy capacity in France amounted to approximately 20.5 gigawatts, making France the fifth European country for cumulative PV capacity that year. Despite this high ranking, solar PV power generation was still behind hydropower and wind renewable energy production.
The solar coverage rate corresponds to the proportion of electricity consumption in France covered by photovoltaic solar power generation. It enables us to assess the evolution of solar power's share of the French energy mix.
