Grants for solar photovoltaic power generation
In brief
A business that produces or operates solar photovoltaic power can fund its project through regional grants, FEDER and dedicated tax credits. This page lists the schemes currently validated for this trade, with their funder and maximum amount where available.
This sector covers businesses that produce or operate solar photovoltaic power for their own use or for resale — as distinct from installers who equip their customers, whose clients' available grants are presented on a dedicated installer trade page.
Many Regions fund the investment (PACA with its "Paré pour le solaire" and "Solaire Innov" schemes, Toulouse Métropole with its Prime Solaire, Hauts-de-France with the REV3 fund), supplemented by FEDER in several territories.
Two national tax schemes are added to this: the green industry tax credit (C3IV) and the exemption from the final electricity consumption tax (TICFE).
This page helps you identify relevant funding leads. However, it does not replace an individual check of your eligibility.
Run a personalised scan to identify the public grants and funding your company may be able to access.
What projects are covered?
The grants listed here fund the feasibility study, investment or operation of a solar photovoltaic power installation, including for self-consumption.
What amount can you obtain?
The highest known amount reaches €200,000 for the PACA regional scheme "Paré pour le solaire".
How do you identify the funding suited to your project?
The number of schemes listed makes manual selection lengthy, and sometimes imprecise.
The Capital OS scan automatically cross-references these criteria with the full database of referenced public grants, to identify the ones that genuinely concern you:
- Your location
- The stage of your project (study, investment, operation)
- Your eligibility for European funds (FEDER)

Frequently asked questions about solar power generation grants
What public grants exist for a solar power producer?
31 open schemes are listed for this trade on Capital OS, run by Regions, FEDER and the tax authorities.

I install solar panels at my customers' premises: does this page apply to me?
This page covers businesses that produce or operate solar power themselves, not installers who equip their customers.
An installer can, however, inform their customers about the grants available to fund the installation itself.
Is my business eligible for these grants?
It depends on each scheme: most require a precise location within the relevant territory.
This page does not presume your business's eligibility; the personalized assessment checks it based on your actual criteria.
How do I apply for this type of grant?
The application is made directly with the Region, the FEDER managing authority or the tax authorities, depending on the scheme.
A personalized assessment first identifies the schemes genuinely relevant to your business, before you start the process.
