For rooftop PV systems of less than 3kW, the feed-in tariff has increased to 181.4 euros/MWh (approximately $190.56/MWh) from 178.9 euros/MWh (approximately $187.93/MWh) in the previous quarter. For PV systems ranging from 3kW to 9kW, the feed-in tariff was 154.2 euros/MWh (approximately $161.98/MWh), compared to 152 euros/MWh (approximately $159.67/MWh) in the previous quarter.

The feed-in tariff for PV systems from 9kW to 36kW increased to €111.5/MWh (approximately $117.13/MWh) from €108.9/MWh (approximately $114.40/MWh) in the previous quarter. For PV systems ranging from 36kW to 100kW, the feed-in tariff was €96.9/MWh (approximately $101.79/MWh), compared to €94.7/MWh (approximately $99.48/MWh) in the previous quarter.

The regions of France that are not interconnected to the grid are Guadeloupe, Martinique, Reunion, Mayotte and Guyana.

In Guadeloupe and Martinique, the feed-in tariff for PV systems up to 3kW is 192 EUR/MWh (about 201.69 USD/MWh). For PV systems ranging from 3kW to 9kW, the feed-in tariff is €170.6/MWh (about $179.21/MWh). For PV systems from 9kW to 36kW, the feed-in tariff is 156.4 EUR/MWh (about 164.3 USD/MWh). For PV systems ranging from 36kW to 100kW, the feed-in tariff is €142.2/MWh (about $149.38/MWh).

In Reunion Island, the feed-in tariff for PV systems below 3kW is 180.7 EUR/MWh (approximately US$189.82/MWh), and the feed-in tariff for PV systems from 3kW to 9kW is 160.6 EUR/MWh (approximately US$168.71/MWh). For PV systems from 9kW to 36kW, the feed-in tariff is EUR 147.2 (about USD 154.63/MWh). For PV systems ranging from 36kW to 100kW, the feed-in tariff is €133.8 (~$140.55/MWh).

In Mayotte, the feed-in tariff for PV systems below 3kW is 214.6 euros/MWh (approximately US$225.43/MWh), and the feed-in tariff for PV systems from 3kW to 9kW is 190.7 euros (approximately US$200.33/MWh). For PV systems ranging from 9kW to 36kW, the feed-in tariff is €174.8/MWh (about $183.62/MWh). For PV systems ranging from 36kW to 100kW, the feed-in tariff is €158.9/MWh (about $166.92/MWh).

In Guyana, the feed-in tariff is EUR 203.3/MWh (about $213.56/MWh) for PV systems less than 3kW, and EUR 180.7/MWh (about $189.82/MWh) for PV systems from 3kW to 9kW. The feed-in tariff for 9kW to 36kW PV systems is 165.6 EUR/MWh (approximately US$173.96/MWh), and the feed-in tariff for 36kW to 100kW PV systems is 150.6 EUR/MWh (approximately US$158.20/MWh).

The French Ministry of Ecology and Solidarity Transition has announced the winners of the first round of auctions for commercial and industrial rooftop and ground-mounted photovoltaic projects from 2021 to 2026 under the country’s energy plan or multi-year energy procurement plan.

As of December 2021, the cumulative installed PV system in France reached 13.07GW. According to the released data, 761MW of photovoltaic systems were added in the last quarter of 2021, setting a new record for quarterly installed capacity. By 2021, renewable energy will account for 25% of France's total energy consumption.
