The exponential growth of the solar photovoltaic energy sector in France has never stopped since its inception in the early 2000s. 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.
Total Installed Capacity: In 2023, France installed 4.0 GW of new PV capacity, bringing the cumulative total to 24.6 GW. This includes 2.5 GW of decentralized PV and 1.45 GW of centralized PV.
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.
France's photovoltaic (PV) policies are developed within the National Low Carbon Strategy and the Energy Programme Decree. The current Energy Programme Decree aims for 20 GW of PV capacity by 2023, rising to 35-44 GW by 2028.
In the first quarter of 2025, France added 1.4 GW of solar capacity, marking a 60% increase from the previous quarter. This expansion brought the country’s total solar capacity to 25.5 GW. Solar production in mainland France also rose by 48% year-on-year, contributing 5.1% to the national electricity mix.
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.
The global industrial and commercial energy storage market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 250% in the past two years. Containerized energy storage solutions now account for approximately 45% of all new commercial and industrial storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 42% market share, driven by corporate sustainability initiatives and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 18-28%. Europe follows closely with 35% market share, where standardized industrial storage designs have cut installation timelines by 65% compared to traditional built-in-place systems. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 50% CAGR, with manufacturing scale reducing system prices by 20% annually. Emerging markets in Africa and Latin America are adopting industrial storage solutions for peak shaving and backup power, with typical payback periods of 2-4 years. Major commercial projects now deploy clusters of 15+ systems creating storage networks with 80+MWh capacity at costs below $270/kWh for large-scale industrial applications.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving industrial energy storage performance while reducing costs. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal operating conditions with 45% less energy consumption, extending battery lifespan to 20+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $85/kWh to $40/kWh since 2023. Smart integration features now allow multiple industrial systems to operate as coordinated energy networks, increasing cost savings by 30% through peak shaving and demand charge management. Safety innovations including multi-stage fire suppression and thermal runaway prevention systems have reduced insurance premiums by 35% for industrial storage projects. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple system additions at just $200/kWh for incremental capacity. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with commercial and industrial projects typically achieving payback in 3-5 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard industrial systems (1-2MWh) starting at $330,000 and large-scale systems (3-6MWh) from $600,000, with volume discounts available for enterprise orders.
