In 2024, France's solar market has experienced remarkable growth, with new photovoltaic (PV) installations reaching 3.5 GW from the first to third quarter, a significant increase compared to 2.3 GW in the same period of 2023. This surge is largely attributed to the “S21” Feed-in Tariff for projects under 500 kW, with 1.3 GW coming from the 100-500 kW range in the second quarter of 2024. Smaller systems have also contributed, with 608,000 residential PV systems participating in self-consumption, marking a 74% increase from last year.

By the third quarter of 2024, France's solar power generation reached 21.1 TWh, accounting for 6% of the nation's electricity consumption, supported by a cumulative installed capacity of 23.7 GW. The upcoming Multi-Year Energy Program (MAEP) is expected to set ambitious goals for the solar sector, with 54-60 GW expected by 2030 and 75-100 GW by 2035. The legislative review and public consultation processes are underway to finalize these targets, with the French Renewable Energy Trade Association (SER) working on regional roadmaps to align with these goals.

Key drivers of this growth include the government’s Solar Pact, which encourages developers to use EU-made PV modules, with a commitment to gradually increase these requirements from 2024 to 2027. Additionally, the rise of Agrivoltaics (solar agriculture) is supported by new regulations under the 2023 Renewable Energy Acceleration Act, while mandatory solar installations, including on buildings and parking lots, are accelerating deployment.

HQ Mount’s Popular Solar Mounting Solutions in France

As France’s solar market expands, HQ Mount continues to provide high-quality and reliable solar mounting solutions that are gaining traction in the country.
