France’s “Zero Approval” Policy for Balcony PV Systems Ignites Market Demand; Huijue’s Residential Energy Storage Solutions Deserve Attention

Achieving “self-sufficiency and control” over household energy is emerging as a new direction in the global energy transition. Recently, the French government officially announced a groundbreaking policy: balcony photovoltaic systems under 800W can be installed without approval, with the approval process significantly streamlined to just 7 days. This move has rapidly captured market attention.

La Caféothèque, a café in central Paris, was among the first to deploy a micro-inverter system, achieving annual electricity savings of up to €2,400. This initiative not only sets a new benchmark for energy efficiency in commercial spaces but also pioneers a fresh aesthetic trend for urban balcony solar installations.

With the implementation of the “Zero Approval” policy, balcony solar systems—now termed “Urban Micro-PV Units”—are evolving from environmental experiments into tangible household assets. How to efficiently convert solar energy into stable, usable electricity makes the role of energy storage systems particularly crucial.

Balcony Solar Gains Favor

Starting in 2025, France introduced the “Zero-Approval Policy” for small-scale solar systems, specifically including:

No construction permits required: Balcony solar systems under 800W paired with micro-inverters are exempt from approvals;

Grid connection processing is compressed to within 7 days.

The policy promotes the “distributed + building-integrated” concept, particularly driving green transformation in high-density cities like Paris and Lyon.

This initiative not only reshapes the energy landscape but also signifies that residential PV will transition from a “niche experiment” into mainstream household adoption.

What else should you consider after installing balcony PV? — Energy storage systems are the key

While the barriers to installing balcony PV have lowered, many users overlook a critical question:

How to achieve “daytime generation, nighttime consumption”?

Especially in European countries, residents increasingly demand energy autonomy and emergency power during outages—precisely where home energy storage systems deliver value.

Huijue’s residential energy storage solutions perfectly complement distributed balcony PV

Huijue Group’s residential energy storage system for overseas markets features hybrid inverters designed for homes, villas, and light commercial buildings, integrating solar power generation, energy storage charging, and household electricity use into one system.

Why is it “Worth Noting”?

As balcony solar installations grow increasingly common, storing daytime electricity for nighttime or outage use has become a core concern for residential users.

HuiJue’s residential energy storage system addresses this pain point as a versatile core solution:

Suitable for balcony PV, villa rooftops, courtyard carports, and other small-scale PV systems;

Offers multiple functions, including energy storage, grid connection, and backup power during outages;

Can be paired with Huijue energy storage batteries and energy management systems to achieve “integrated PV-storage solutions.”

Additionally, we support modular customization services. Whether for individual households, channel agents, or export businesses, we provide tailored complete solutions based on specific installation environments and power requirements.

Build Your Own Independent Energy System

France’s “zero-approval” policy for balcony PV installations may be just the beginning. In the coming years, more countries are expected to adopt similar policies, fully unlocking the market potential for residential distributed photovoltaic-storage systems.

For those ready to enter this space, start with “one balcony PV system + one smart energy storage system” to build your own independent energy system.
