Eligibility conditions
The scheme concerns existing collective solar thermal installations with major malfunctions, a complete shutdown or productivity well below what was expected. The project must start with a technical audit to qualify the defects and cost the corrective actions. The regional fiche recorded in the catalogue should be consulted to confirm the cap and arrangements applicable in the Région Sud; the ADEME 2026 page describes a scheme with the same purpose, but it should not automatically be confused with the regional grant.
What the scheme covers
Audit and rehabilitation of collective solar thermal installations.
Amount and funding terms
The catalogue fiche indicates a grant of up to 50% of eligible costs, capped at €10,000 excluding VAT. This cap comes from the regional fiche referenced in the catalogue; it must be confirmed with the Region before being treated as the scale applicable to an application in 2026. Do not replace it with the terms of an ADEME scheme of the same name without checking the funder and the rules concerned.
How to apply
1. Have a diagnosis of the collective solar thermal installation carried out and gather the production data actually measured. 2. Ask a qualified engineering firm to identify the causes of the defects and cost the corrections. 3. Prepare a rehabilitation plan and the monitoring/maintenance arrangements after restart. 4. Before signing a quote or starting the audit, contact the reviewing department shown on the regional fiche to confirm eligibility, the costs taken into account, the applicable cap and the application timetable.
