France cumulative install PV capacity to 19 GW

France's Ministry of Ecological Transition has reported that around 2,229 MW of new PV systems were connected to the French grid in the January-September period. In the same period a year earlier, the country added 1,923 MW of new PV capacity. Full-year installations hit 2.4 GW of new solar in 2022.

In the third quarter of this year, 803 MW of new PV systems were deployed in the country, which compares to 699 MW in the same period a year earlier. France reached 19.0 GW of cumulative installed PV capacity at the end of September 2023. Including rooftop PV mounting systems 7.0 GW, and ground PV projects 11.0 GW.

The aggregate capacity of queued solar projects with grid-connection requests, meanwhile, has increased by 27% since the start of this year to 21.4 GW, including 5.4 GW with signed connection agreements.
