Solar is mandatory for living roofs of commercial and industrial buildings and covered car parks occupying 500 m2 or more of ground surface. Simplified permitting procedures have been introduced for smaller PV projects, yet, with regard to energy storage, French law and regulations are still inadequate.
France has opened a final public consultation for the third edition of its Multi-Year Energy Program (PPE) in a revised version that envisages cutting the national solar deployment target for 2035 to 90 GW.

Despite the ongoing policy uncertainty, we remain optimistic that the French residential solar PV market will stay on a stable path through to 2030. In our outlook, we project a modest ~5% CAGR for residential solar, driven in part by rising retail electricity prices and the increasing appeal of energy independence.
If selling excess solar is less rewarding, the case for keeping and storing it becomes stronger. This could catalyse a broader shift but only if the right policies and price signals follow. The biggest risk to France’s solar sector isn’t any single policy change, it’s inconsistency. Two steps forward, one step back.
Our solar PV systems and energy storage products are engineered for reliability, safety, and efficient deployment. All systems include comprehensive monitoring and control systems with remote management capabilities.
