4 FAQs about Chart of France s solar power generation ratio

What is solar power generation in France?

This graph provides an annual and monthly overview of solar power generation in France. The evolution of solar photovoltaic generation is an important parameter in the energy transition, as it is a renewable and low-carbon energy. In 2022, solar power generation rose sharply on the back of expanded capacity and good sunlight.

How much solar power does France have in 2023?

In 2023, the PV energy capacity in France amounted to approximately 20.5 gigawatts, making France the fifth European country for cumulative PV capacity that year. Despite this high ranking, solar PV power generation was still behind hydropower and wind renewable energy production.

Does France have a solar energy sector?

The exponential growth of the solar photovoltaic energy sector in France has never stopped since its inception in the early 2000s. In 2023, the PV energy capacity in France amounted to approximately 20.5 gigawatts, making France the fifth European country for cumulative PV capacity that year.

What type of power does France have?

France's installed electricity generation capacity is mainly made up of nuclear, hydroelectric and fossil-fired power plants, as well as renewable power plants (wind, solar photovoltaic, biomass). French power production continues to change in 2022 and 2023, driven by the growth in renewable energy sources.
