Solar energy in 2024: how can you finance your solar system in France?
Before delving into the various government support programs, it is crucial to delve into the world of solar panels, the fundamental foundation for the use of solar energy. These devices, strategically positioned on rooftops or on the ground, play an essential role in capturing sunlight and converting it into usable energy.
Photovoltaic solar panels, which are widely used by private individuals, generate electrical current when exposed to sunlight. There are mainly two variants: monocrystalline and polycrystalline. Understanding these differences is crucial when planning a solar installation. At I'M Solar, we focus on quality and only offer monocrystalline modules, which are known for their higher efficiency.
So here are the aids, premiums and exemptions that you can benefit from in France in 2024 to finance your solar system.
1. Eco-zero interest rate loan (éco-PTZ)
A widely used tool is the eco-zero interest loan, which is applicable to various energy improvements in the home, including installations of thermal or aero-photovoltaic solar panels. For thermal modules, the éco PTZ can be up to €10,000. By combining these projects with other energy renovations, the loan amount can reach €20,000 for two works and €30,000 for three or more.
2. Premium for photovoltaic self-consumption
The photovoltaic self-consumption premium replaces the old photovoltaic tax credit and aims to ease the financial burden associated with the purchase of solar panels. This premium is spread over five years and is automatically paid at the same time as the income from the sale of surplus energy, depending on the output of the solar panels.
The premium rates for 2024 depend on the performance of the installation:
- Up to 3 kWc: €0.43/wc
- 3 to 9 kWc: €0.32/wc
- 9 to 36 kWc: €0.18/wc
- 36 to 100 kWc: €0.09/wc
3. Tax exemption
In addition to these aids, there is the possibility of benefiting from an income tax exemption if the solar installation meets certain conditions. No taxation is applied to an output of less than 3 kWc, combined with a maximum of two points and not intended for a professional activity. Beyond 3 kWc, income from the sale of surplus electricity is taxable.
4. Energy premium in 2024
The energy premium (energy saving boost) introduced by the government in 2017 makes energy-efficient work in residential buildings easier. It is managed by the government, covers a significant part of the acquisition cost of equipment and acts as an intermediary between professionals and private individuals.
5. Energy Saving Certificates (CEE)
The energy saving certificates, introduced in 2006, encourage players in the energy sector to finance the energy premium. Contributors to energy offsetting cover the costs of energy improvements in the home and create a symbiotic relationship between energy industry players and consumers.
6. Criteria for the energy premium
The general energy bonus is open to everyone and does not depend on the ownership status or the type of residence. To be eligible, renovations must meet predefined technical criteria that are verified by a recognized environmental guarantor (RGE) professional. There is no income limit for this general premium, the amount varies depending on the type of work carried out and the impact on energy efficiency.
7. Premiums for low-income households
In addition to the universal energy premium, there are specific premiums for low-income households. The amount varies depending on the location of the residence and the income limits, which are managed by independent organizations. To be eligible, households must spend more than 10% of their income on paying energy bills.
By navigating the ever-evolving landscape of renewable energy, France's robust support for solar initiatives provides guidance for those looking to adopt sustainable practices. From interest-free loans to tax exemptions and various premiums, the government's multifaceted approach creates an environment conducive to the adoption of solar energy. By taking advantage of these initiatives, individuals not only contribute to environmental protection, but also benefit from concrete financial benefits. This makes the transition to solar energy an economically viable and environmentally responsible choice in 2024.
