The average share of solar photovoltaic energy in the gross electricity consumption in France kept increasing over the last few years. In the last quarter of 2024, it reached a high of almost five percent. The quarterly variations in solar energy usage are due to the seasonal variability of insolation in France, typically higher in the third quarter of the year. 
The total gross electricity consumption in France was around 438.3 terawatt-hours in 2023.
