Yes, the 2026 photo is a little better
The authorities have announced for 2026 a slight average drop in household prices compared to 2025. This is good news and it must be said. This avoids falling into an artificial discourse according to which “everything explodes everywhere.” This is not the case.
But the solar decision is not made over a single year
A photovoltaic installation is not a 12-month trade. It is an asset that produces for 25 years, sometimes more. The correct calculation therefore consists of smoothing the cost of your own kWh over the long term, and not bet that the 2026 price will remain the same in 2027, 2028 or 2031.
Why solar still makes sense now
Even with a slightly lower price, self-consumption retains value because it reduces the volume purchased from the network, improves budgetary visibility and prepares for the electrification of heating, water heater or the car. The right time is not only “when prices are soaring”, it is also when the project has makes sense technically and financially.
