The goal is simple: to map out the PV module supply channels to the U.S. out to 2026 and beyond. France has awarded 1.5GW of ground-mounted solar PV capacity in its latest auction, concluded this week (26th September).
In 2016, France was ranked 4th in the EU by installed capacity and 14th in terms of PV capacity by inhabitant at 107.3 Wp/Inhab compared to the EU average of 197.8 Wp/Inhab for the year. The country's largest completed solar park to date was the 300 MW Cestas Solar Park.
The insolation in France ranges from 3 sun hours/day in the north to 5 sun hours/day in the south. The output of a solar array is a function of age, temperature, tilt, shading, tracking, and insolation. France is aiming to increase its solar PV capacity from 11.5 GW in March 2021 to 23 GW by the end of 2023.
Beyond falling prices, the IEA PVPS report said solar installations were bolstered by the measures introduced in the French government’s Law for the Acceleration of Renewable Energies which came into force in 2023. A requirement that competitive tender winners share some of the added value with locals.
