What's a warrant for aid plus self-consumption?
The PV self-consumption premium is the investment aid paid by EDF OA to PV installations for the sale of surplus (self-consumption + resale of surplus). Its amount is fixed by the Quarterly Tariff Order (S2 2026 for contracts signed in the second half of 2026), in €/kWc, and is paid over 5 years in five equal instalments with the surplus OA contract. To benefit from the premium, the owner signs a mandate to his QualiPV RGE installer or a specialized agent to make the request to EDF OA (integrated into the request for an OA contract). The mandate includes the declaration of commissioning, the transmission of the premium, the monitoring of the payment file over 5 years.
Why sign the warrant to help premium self-consumption electronically?
No form imposed on the mandate
The mandate by which you entrust the premium application to your installer is concluded between the two of you: no form is imposed, and Article 1366 of the Civil Code gives an electronic document the same evidential weight as paper. The documents EDF OA then has you sign — producer certificate, purchase contract — go through its own electronic signature portal.
Bi-part owner + RGE installer
The most common flow: owner (beneficiary of the premium) + installer GER QualiPV (agent). For co-owners, add the trustee. Our bi- or tri-party flow handles all configurations with individual SMS OTP.
10 years of storage + 5 years of payment
The premium is paid in 5 annual instalments with the OA contract. EDF OA can request the production of the mandate at any time during these 5 years.
The eIDAS audit trail is open to objection
Each warrant comes with a PDF of proof: owner identity + RGE installer, RFC 3161 timestamping, SHA-256 hash, IP geolocation, SMS OTP verification.

Frequently asked questions
- Can the self-consumption aid order be signed electronically?
- Yes, for the mandate: no particular form is imposed and Article 1366 of the Civil Code gives an electronic document the same evidential weight as paper. An advanced signature is admissible as evidence (Article 1367), its reliability being shown by the evidence file — useful for a 5-year commitment. The producer certificate and the purchase contract, however, are signed on EDF OA's portal.
- What is the premium for self-consumption in 2026?
- Amount fixed by tariff Decree S2 2026 (revised quarterly by the CRE): approximately €80-160/kWc depending on the power for residential installations ≤ 9 kWc. Paid in 5 annual instalments with the surplus OA contract. Guaranteed rate on the date of complete connection request.
- Total sale or sale of surplus: what premium ?
- The total sales price is the price at which the surplus is sold, and the total sales price is the price at which the surplus is sold.
- What are the conditions for the bonus?
- (1) Installation by a QualiPV RGE installer, (2) Power ≤ 100 kWc, (3) Installation as part of the building or as a surcharge, (4) Sale of surplus to EDF OA (not total sale), (5) Consular Compliance (AC visa), (6) Commissioning within 18 months of the complete connection request.
- What happens if the bonus is paid to an agent?
- The mandate may provide for direct payment to the mandator (typically the GER installer to reduce the initial investment cost of the customer). The return to the owner must then be provided for in the installer-customer contract. Traced via the eIDAS audit trail.
- Is the premium on self-consumption taxable?
- For private individuals: IR-exempt for installations ≤ 3 kWc at the main residence (Article 35 ter of the General Tax Code). For power > 3 kWc, the premium is taxable as income from movable capital. For professionals: taxable as operating income.
- Can we combine the autoconsolation bonus with other help?
- Cumulation with: (1) EEC (Energy Saving Certificates) for certain actions related to the overall renovation, (2) eco-PTZ for financing, (3) VAT reduced to 10% (Article 279-0a of the CGI).
- What happens if the facility is sold?
- The premium continues to be paid to the owner of the installation at the time of payment (Energy Code L.315-3).In the case of a sale of real estate, transfer possible via tripartite endorsement (seller + buyer + EDF OA), signed electronically.The electronic signature with time stamp traces the transfer.
