As we have seen, the car for the car -consumption or the investment prize is one of the financial aid of the State initiative to promote renewable energies. This system of financial aid has been implemented since 2017 and concerns both individuals and professionals who opt for the car -photovoltaic contemporary with the sale of their production of sunflower electricity. Without the sale of the surplus, even in free injection, it is not possible to claim any state aid.
A. Conditions for the allocation of the Auto to the car -Consummer
The conditions for the assignment of the Auto Award -Consume are established by the tariff decree of 6 October 2021:
- Have a roof (steep, flat, regardless of the number of sides) or A support structure (like a solar refuge). Address, the installations of photovoltaic panels on the ground are not eligible.
- Only the installations lower than 100 kWc The powers are suitable
- Choose An RGE installer (like the sunny earth!)
- Choose Auto -Consume with surplus sale : Not even car -he suffers from his solar energy, but also injects his excess energy not used on the net to sell it to Edf or. Total consumption of cars (without surplus sale) does not give the right to the car for the car -with the case.
Respect these criteria? It’s perfect, you are suitable!
B. operation of the car for the car -consumo
The operation of the car for the car -consum (or the investment prize) is quite simple and can be summarized in three points:
- Its amount is interrupted precisely on the day of the transmission of the request for connection to the network (In Terre Solaire, we do it for you!)
- She is Automatically paid by the EDF purchase obligation At the same time of your income generated by the sale of your surplus. It also appears on the OA EDF invoice.
- The terms of payment of this premium have recently evolved (Price decree dated 8 February 2023):
- For installations lower than 9 kWc, 100% of the prize at the first billing,
- For installations of over 9 kWc, it is paid in 5 years with 80% of the premium in the first year and then 4 annual payments of 5%.

2. The quantity of the car for the car -consumo
Since it consumes the solar energy you produce directly, You’re already saving money on the electricity bill. It costs you nothing and is not taxed. To these savings are added the sale of excess electricity at a fixed price for 20 years, as well as the award for the consumption of cars -consuma – investment bonus. The quantity of the car for the car -consuma is fixed according to the power of photovoltaic installation. Or, the total crest power installed expressed in KWC – Crête Kilowatt. Attention! If we speak fluent in the 4th quarter of 2024, in reality the purchase rates apply with a month of gap, then until January 31, 2025. More simply: the «price» year starts February 1st and ends on January 31 of the other … but not to mix the panels, you just have to read the table below.
Please note, it is likely that the values vary at each change of quarter depending on the number of connections made.

Solved according to the power of your solar panels, the car for car -consuma is not always as easy to define as you think. In fact, if the calculation seems simple, it will be necessary Know in Monte the number of possible panels to be installed on the roof ! A calculation made «with the ladle» could mislead you and make you pass from one threshold to another. This is the reason why we created the Wattnext simulator. It is free, transparent and updated every quarter to follow the evolution of purchase prices and the car for the car -with a case. Geolocating the roof, it helps you define the number of panels to be installed, as well as their performance. But that’s not all: Your car premium -Consume and your car income -convens they are automatically calculated. Orientation, inclination, consumption, nothing is left to the possibility of elaborating all the profitability of your project at the most just over 25 years.
Here is an example: This 400 m² hangar in Rouen, Normandy, is occupied by a plastic processing company. The roof of the steel bin in the coast in which the photovoltaic installation was installed in March 2023 could accommodate the 19810 toilet panels, an installation of 81 kWc. By opting for cars -it with the sale of the excess, the company therefore benefits from a car premium of € 110/kWc (amount of the premium in force during the connection request), or € 8,930 which will be paid in 5 times, in 5 years (or € 7,144 for 1st year of € 446 for 4 years)! Remember that the amount of the prize changes each quarter and that the quarter of the connection request determines the amount of your prize! The payment methods have recently changed: now for any installation, the payment of the premium is made up of 80% compared to the 1st year (100% for installations lower than 9 kWc)!
