National aid for photovoltaics in 2026

The self-consumption bonus

The State pays a self-consumption bonus to any photovoltaic installation connected to the network. For the first quarter of 2026, the amounts in effect are as follows:

• 80 € per kWp for installations with a power less than or equal to 9 kWp
• €140 per kWp for installations between 9 kWp and 36 kWp

This bonus is paid over 5 years, alongside the purchase of your production surplus. To benefit from it, your work must be carried out by a certified installer RGE (Recognized Guarantor of the Environment) .

The EDF Purchase Obligation (OA)

EDF is required to buy back your unused electricity during 20 years at guaranteed rate . This system applies to installations of less than 500 kWp, installed on a roof or in a shade by an RGE professional. The surplus purchase price is set at €0.04/kWh for installations below 9 kWp. This additional income contributes significantly to the profitability of your installation in the long term.

VAT and taxation in 2026: what changes

Since the January 1, 2026 , the VAT rate of 10% for photovoltaic installations of less than 3 kWp has been removed. The standard rate of 20% now applies to all residential projects. It is therefore advisable to integrate this data into your financing plan. Good news, however: up to 3 kWp, income from the resale of the electricity produced remains exempt from income tax.

Regional aid: the Rénov’Occitanie system

The Occitanie Region is committed to becoming the first positive energy region in Europe by 2050. With this in mind, it offers several financial support schemes grouped under the banner Rénov’Occitanie . This aid is mainly dedicated to energy renovation projects, including solar thermal and combined systems.

• The eco-housing voucher : direct financial assistance from €1,000 to €1,500 for work aiming at an energy saving of at least 25%. The request must be submitted before the start of the work, and the household must finance at least 35% of the total amount.
• The Rénov’Occitanie advance fund : a zero-interest loan of up to €20,000 , repayable in 18 months maximum, intended for low-income households to advance work costs while awaiting payment of subsidies.
• Call for photovoltaic self-consumption projects : for businesses, communities, public establishments and associations, the Region can finance up to 30% of eligible expenses for individual self-consumption projects, and up to 60% for collective self-consumption projects.

Subsidy requests are made on the dematerialized platform mesaidesenligne.laregion.fr . Note that the portal may be temporarily suspended during maintenance periods; check with the Region for opening dates.

Local and departmental aid in Occitanie

In addition to national and regional measures, several urban communities and municipalities in Occitanie offer additional assistance. For example, the agglomeration of Alès financially supports the installation of photovoltaic solar systems. Many other local authorities have their own assistance programs. It is recommended to consult the energy services of your municipality or intermunicipality before starting your project, in order to identify all the cumulative subsidies available at your address.

The Occitanie Energy Info Spaces also constitute a key point of contact: their advisors provide you with free information on all available financial aid (national, regional, departmental and local) and support you in putting together your file.

How to maximize your assistance with quality equipment?

To make the most of the available subsidies, the choice of equipment is decisive. A high performance photovoltaic panel guarantees optimal production over time, while a hybrid inverter or a storage battery allows you to increase your self-consumption rate and therefore maximize your bill savings.

Uniz Solar offers a complete range of solutions suitable for all configurations, from 3 kWp residential kits to high-power professional systems. Our team is available to help you size your project in Occitanie and identify the most advantageous cumulative aid for your situation.
