Abstract :
This presentation gives an overview of photovoltaic research in France (organization, structure, thematic domains) and of its recent evolutions. More favorable energy policy, creation of the National Research Agency (ANR) with increased budget, involvement of important research partners (CEA, EDF) in addition to historical ones (CNRS and Universities, ADEME), first creation of dedicated institutes (IRDEP, INES) are key evolutions in the context of PV research in France. The main projects funded in 2006 are presented. They range from short term to exploratory research with close relations to industrial concerns
