Market Overview

Distributed solar energy generation is the process of placing solar panels on separate buildings or properties to allow users to produce their electricity. It provides various benefits compared to centralized solar power generation, including lower transmission losses, higher energy efficiency, and the possibility of achieving energy autonomy. Utilizing the plentiful sunlight can help distributed solar power generation play a role in creating a cleaner and more sustainable energy future. France has established ambitious goals for renewable energy, with the objective of reaching 32% of energy consumption from renewable sources by 2030. The importance of distributed solar power generation is significant in achieving this goal and decreasing dependence on fossil fuels. Distributed solar power generation entails producing electricity from solar energy in a decentralized manner, with photovoltaic panels being placed on rooftops, residential, and commercial buildings. The method allows for the production of clean and sustainable energy where it is used, decreasing reliance on centralized power stations and lowering transmission waste. Distributed solar systems help to maintain environmental sustainability, boost energy resilience, and enable individuals and businesses to produce their own power. The decentralized model also boosts grid stability and aids in the shift towards a greener and stronger energy infrastructure.

Market Segmentation

The France distributed solar power generation market share is classified into solar mode and type.

• The grid-tied solar systems segment is expected to hold the largest market share through the forecast period.   

The France distributed solar power generation market is segmented by solar mode into grid-tied solar systems and off-grid solar systems. Among them, the grid-tied solar systems segment is expected to hold the largest market share through the forecast period. These systems are linked to the utility grid and transfer surplus solar energy back to the grid, allowing customers to reduce their electricity usage and possibly make money from net metering or feed-in tariffs. Grid-tied systems are well-liked by residential, commercial, and industrial users aiming to lower electricity costs and take advantage of incentives for renewable energy production.

• The rooftop solar installations segment is expected to hold the largest market share through the forecast period.

The France distributed solar power generation market is segmented by type into rooftop solar installations and ground-mounted solar farms. Among them, the rooftop solar installations segment is expected to hold the largest market share through the forecast period. These setups consist of installing solar panels on the roofs of homes, businesses, and factories to capture solar energy for use on the premises or to send back to the grid. Rooftop solar systems are a popular choice for urban and suburban areas due to their space efficiency, minimal land use, and proximity to energy demand centers.
