The first bidding window, which was open for proposals of between 100 kW and 500 kW, attracted bids with a final average price of EUR 91.16 (USD 109.76) per MWh, down from EUR
The utility-scale solar market remains relatively resilient, driven by auctions across Europe that incentivise flexible solar projects that are combined with storage or wind.
The latest SolarPower Europe report has indicated who are the top 10 solar PV markets for 2024, showing shifts in growth trends among EU countries. Only half of the top 10
France''s energy regulator, the Commission de Régulation de l''Énergie (CRE), has released FIT rates for rooftop solar installations up to 500 kW in size for February to June 2025.
For example, in 2014, the reported capacity-weighted average system price was higher than 80% of system prices in 2014 because very large systems with multiyear construction schedules were being installed that year.
France remains one of the top performing countries when it comes to the development of Rooftop solar policy and practices, but deliverables still need to be achieved. France's photovoltaic (PV) policies are developed within the National Low Carbon Strategy and the Energy Programme Decree.

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.
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.
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.
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
