COMUNICATO STAMPA – CONTENUTO PROMOZIONALE<\/p>\n

French residential PV systems up to 9 kWp can now access the reduced 5.5% VAT rate, but only with modules that meet the demanding PPE2 V2 certification. AIKO is one of the few manufacturers to achieve this.\u00a0<\/p>\n

D\u00dcSSELDORF, Germany, May 7, 2026 \/PRNewswire\/ — AIKO has confirmed that its photovoltaic modules qualify for the reduced 5.5% Value Added Tax (VAT) rate in France under the newly enforced\u00a0PPE2 V2 certification. This makes AIKO a key enabler for French residential installations seeking the preferential tax rate.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Under French rules, residential PV systems face a standard 20% VAT. The reduced 5.5% rate applies only to systems\u00a0up to 9 kWp\u00a0that meet all PPE2 V2 criteria. Systems above 9 kWp remain at 20% VAT. AlKO-A-MCE60Db and AIKO-A-MCE54Db modules are now listed on the official Certisolis registry of products eligible for France’s 5.5% VAT reduction.\u00a0<\/p>\n

What Is PPE2 V2?\u00a0<\/p>\n

The PPE2 V2 (Product Environmental Footprint 2, Version 2) certification is a demanding French environmental standard introduced in September 2025. To qualify for the 5.5% VAT, a PV module must simultaneously meet:\u00a0<\/p>\n

The carbon threshold of 530 kg CO\u2082eq\/kWc is exceptionally hard to meet. It forces manufacturers to decarbonize their entire supply chain, from polysilicon to finished module. Very few modules on the market currently achieve this.\u00a0<\/p>\n

AIKO has succeeded in meeting all PPE2 V2 criteria while delivering modules maintaining its industry-leading efficiency of\u00a024.4%\u201324.5%\u00a0(maximizing yield on space-constrained rooftops) and an aesthetic all-black design. This combination gives French homeowners a shorter payback period and stronger return on investment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A Distinct Market Advantage\u00a0<\/p>\n

PPE2 V2 certification sets a high bar that few manufacturers have cleared. AIKO’s achievement demonstrates its commitment to sustainable, low-carbon manufacturing. For the French residential market, this means premium, high-efficiency solar is now accessible at a significantly lower effective cost \u2013 without compromising on performance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
