For larger residential properties and small commercial establishments, solar battery backup systems in the 10-20kWh range typically cost between €9,000 and €18,000. This price range includes premium battery solutions from established manufacturers, advanced inverter technology, and professional installation.
In 2024 alone, the country added 4.6 GW of new solar capacity, bringing its cumulative total to 22.1 GW.1 This growth shows no signs of slowing. According to SolarPower Europe, France’s operational solar capacity could reach 52 GW by 2028, implying an additional 30 GW of installations over the next four years.2
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.
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.
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.
