Intersolar Europe puts spotlight on French PV market

The French government is aiming to double the share of renewable energy in France by 2040 and is launching one of the largest energy projects in Europe with calls for PV tenders and direct marketing of solar power.
This is why Intersolar Europe, together with the German-French Office of Renewable Energy (DFBFEE), is devoting a special event to the topic at the exhibition.
On June 23, 2016, speakers are set to discuss the future of the French market at the Innovation and Application Forum. To complement this, a workshop run by the French solar research institute INES will take place in the morning.


Almost 1GW of solar PV deployed per year
Until now, France was situated in the midrange of the European PV markets, with almost 1GW deployed per year and a cumulative nominal power of slightly more than 5GW. However the country boasts excellent conditions: The high global radiation in the south and a population density of only half that of Germany are ideal for exploiting solar energy.

The French government has recognized this potential and plans to double the share of renewable energies to over 32% by 2040. The mainstay of this transition is solar energy. The French Energy Minister, Ségolène Royal expects a volume of 800 megawatts of photovoltaics to be put to tender in 2016, which could be increased to 1,450 MW in 2017 and the two years after that. The plans envisage a total installed capacity of 36 to 43 GW by 2023.

France to introduce a direct marketing system for solar power

Like Germany, France also intends to introduce a direct marketing system. What impact this will have on the German and French photovoltaics market is the topic of

discussion at two events held at the Innovation and Application Forum at Intersolar Europe 2016. Additionally, around 40 French companies are set to present themselves individually or in shared booths at the exhibition and the accompanying ees Europe — the continent’s largest exhibition for batteries and energy storage systems.


Lectures and discussions: Fresh impetus for the solar market

The German-French Office of Renewable Energy (DFBEE) is holding a round of lectures and discussions focusing on tenders and direct marketing on June 23, 2016. The discussion will see speakers examining how predictive tools can be used to optimize direct marketing. They will also turn their attention to France’s new subsidization strategies for photovoltaics, and comment on the opportunities and challenges for direct marketing of solar power. Additionally, the speakers are set to evaluate the pilot round of tenders and offer recommendations for future designs for tenders. A closing discussion invites participants to explore the possible consequences of the calls for tenders for the German and French photovoltaics markets.


Workshop: Innovation from France

The French research institute INES (Institut National de l’Energie Solaire) will be running a workshop on Thursday morning. It presents an insight into how photovoltaic technologies, modules and systems can be used effectively in the electric power supply for buildings and contemporary mobility solutions. Referencing their own innovations, they will also explain how photovoltaic installation costs can be saved while increasing system capacity and utility for the end customer.
