France Mandates Solar Systems in Parking Lots A Comprehensive Analysis of HQ Mount's Solar Carport Solutions

The French government recently enacted Decree No. 2024-1023, requiring parking lots larger than 1,500 square meters to install solar photovoltaic (PV) systems as part of its commitment to advancing clean energy.  This regulation outlines clear deadlines and coverage requirements for retrofitting parking lots with solar systems, presenting significant opportunities for the solar energy industry.





Key Policy Highlights: Accelerating Solar PV Adoption



Coverage Requirements: At least 50% of the parking area must be covered with solar carports or green canopies.



Implementation Deadlines:



Parking lots over 10,000 square meters must complete installation by July 1, 2026.

Parking lots between 1,500 and 10,000 square meters must complete installation by July 1, 2028.

Some parking lots may apply for an exemption due to technical limitations, safety risks, or special purposes.



Penalties for Non-Compliance: Non-compliant parking lots could face fines of up to €40,000 annually.



This policy has spurred a surge in demand for solar carport mounting systems, particularly in large commercial parking lots.
