Around 4.9 gigawatts of solar photovoltaic capacity were added to the energy sector in France in 2024. The biggest part of these additions belonged to rooftop non-residential solar plants, with a capacity of 1.12 gigawatts. Large installations accounted for the second-largest capacity additions that year. Overall, solar energy capacity in France was over 20 gigawatts in 2023.
