“One figure that says it all”

🇪🇺 In the EU, 65.5 GW of solar PV was added in 2024 alone — maintaining the record annual growth of recent years. Solar photovoltaic is growing fastest among renewables at ~18% CAGR globally over the last 5 years.

1. A booming market with unaddressed mid-size opportunities

The French solar market is experiencing unprecedented growth ! We’re expecting the market to grow up to 4 times by 2030 ! It’s four times what has been built over the last 25 years, from 20GWp to almost 100GWp.

This acceleration is driven by:

• New regulatory obligations (Loi Climat & Résilience, Loi APER) making canopies and rooftops mandatory for many landowners;
• A shift in focus toward mid-size installations (100–500 kWc), particularly for commercial and municipal rooftops or parking areas;
• Drastically lower equipment costs (solar panel prices down ~90% in 10 years);
• National targets aligned with the PPE (Programmation Pluriannuelle de l’Énergie), aiming for 65–100 GWc by 2035 (in discussion at the Assemblée Nationale, French’ house of Representatives)

2. Focus on the mid-Market (100-500KWp)

Fuzed targets a strategic blind spot: small-to-medium solar + EV charging infrastructures, typically not addressed by:

• Large developers (who focus on >1 MWc utility-scale assets);
• Small local players (who lack structured project delivery and financing tools).

This mid-market segment, covering 100–500 kWc installations on rooftops and canopies, is underserved yet immense: studies show over 1,500 km² of parking lots in France, with ~50% needing canopy installation by 2028.

In the EU, the public charging network is set to reach 1.6 million public chargers by 2030, from a growing base in 2023.

We focus on

C&I sites and local governments

It’s a fragmented but massive pool

📌 Example segments:

• Retail parks, logistics sites, town halls, sports facilities, public schools, small industries, etc.
• Typical potential per site: 100–500 kWc and 4–20 EV charge points. </aside>

💡 This aligns directly with Fuzed’s positioning — targeting 100–500 kWc solar systems + 4–20 EV chargers in C&I & public sites.
