Not so ridiculous. I'm shopping for Solar panels for my new house (I move in 3 days yay!) and I'm learning a lot. Solar energy doesn't have to be sold back to the grid in all cases, at least not here in Montreal. For example you can use solar to power a part of your home circuit such as lighting at night to start, expand to cover things like TV's, etc. And also, solar tech is getting better every day, while prices are dropping. Solar ideas should be dismissed without doing some digging first.
We're talking about commercial property here. As a landlord any solar expenditures would be for the benefit of the tenant in which case I would want to be paid back from the tenant. This means higher rents, so all this really does is increase the expenses of French business owners.

I don't see savings offsetting electric bills and maintenance of the systems. If true savings were possible business owners would be demanding it not bureaucrats. Again, feel good legislation by government workers.
