As from July 26th, 2006, the electricity that you produce with your photovoltaic solar panels is bought by EDF at a preferential rate. This feed-in tariff for solar-generated electricity is guaranteed for 20 years starting from the date of your solar array being connected to the electricity grid. This tariff is indexed to rise at a rate close to that of the rate of inflation.
In 2010 the tariff is set at:

• 0.58€/kWh for building-integrated PV arrays
• 0.42€/kWh in the case of retrofitted arrays (in fact, this tariff is 3 to 5 times higher than the basic EDF tariff of 0.10€/kWh charged to private customers).
