In France, several financial aid programs are available to support the installation of solar panels in private homes. These programs include tax credits, regional or local subsidies, low-interest loans, and many others. These programs can significantly reduce the initial cost of your solar installation. Be sure to check the eligibility criteria and the necessary steps to benefit from these programs.

The State supports you in your ecological transition

Tax credit for energy transition (CITE)

The CITE allows you to benefit from a tax credit equal to a percentage of the expenses incurred for the installation of solar panels. The rate of the tax credit varies depending on the type of equipment installed and the date the work was completed.

Assistance from the National Housing Agency (ANAH)

The ANAH (National Agency for the Protection of Energy) offers various grants for energy renovation work, including the installation of solar panels. Eligibility requirements and the amount of assistance depend on household income and the type of housing.

Self-consumption bonus

This bonus aims to encourage self-consumption of electricity produced by solar panels. Its amount depends on the installed capacity and the geographic area. It may be granted in addition to other support programs.

Purchase price of solar electricity

Individuals can benefit from a favorable purchase rate for electricity produced by their solar panels and fed into the electricity grid. This rate, set by decree, guarantees additional income for several years.

Zero-interest eco-loan (eco-PTZ)

The eco-PTZ allows for interest-free financing of energy renovation work, including the installation of solar panels. This loan is available under certain conditions and can be combined with other assistance.

Property tax exemption

Some departments or municipalities grant a partial or total exemption from property tax for a few years to owners who have installed solar panels.

Repurchase obligation

When your solar panels produce more electricity than you consume, you have the option to resell this excess. In France, the purchase obligation system allows you to sell this electricity at a favorable rate.
