Export of Sewage Treatment Equipment: Know Everything from Processes to Requirementsphotovoltaic[Thailand Market Strategy]solarLe Maires speech not only highlights the French governments strong support for the domestic solar panel industry but also expresses obvious vigilance against Chinese photovoltaic products. He mentioned that similar to the measures in the electric vehicle field, the French government is using various policy means to reduce the market share of Chinese - made products in the French market. For example, by imposing restrictions on Chinese - made electric vehicles, France successfully reduced the market share of these vehicles in the French market from 49% in December 2023 to 24% in February 2024.

However, Le Maires proposal to urge EU countries to massively purchase French - made solar panels may face conflicts with EU rules on public project contracts. The EU regulations prohibit public project contracts from favoring enterprises of a certain country, which means that Le Maires proposal may trigger disputes within the EU.

Despite some potential legal and political obstacles, Le Maires speech shows that the French government is ready to take active measures to promote the development of the solar energy industry. He announced that the French government will fund two solar panel manufacturing plants led by Carbon SAS and HoloSolis SAS. The total investment of these two companies will reach 2.2 billion euros. This year, they may also benefit from tax relief of up to 200 million euros and may receive additional financial support.

In addition, Le Maire also said that starting from the middle of this year, France will strengthen the carbon content standard in the government bidding for rooftop photovoltaic projects and increase incentive rewards for the use of low - carbon solar panels in small - scale ground photovoltaic projects. If this approach works, the French government also considers expanding the carbon content standard to all government - supported solar installation plans.

These new measures of the French government aim to accelerate the process of domestic solar panel production deployment and achieve the goal of producing 40% of the solar panels used in France by 2030. This goal reflects Frances strategic considerations in terms of energy independence, environmental protection and economic growth.
