The Italian PV market

• in the exclusive world’s “GW-scale club”, with China, Japan, Germany and USA; yet forecasted for a stable growth path of 1 to 2 GW/year till 2020 (or more, depending on further price reduction and on the rate of penetration of storage systems)

• incentives are still available in form of very attractive tax rebates: 50% in 2014, 40% in 2015, afterwards stabilised at 36%. A vibrating laboratory for the entire PV industry chain for tuning new business models in the post-FiT era

• a quick extension from South to North Italy of the grid parity achievement in the residential segment, as well as in the commercial and industrial ones, starting from the highest self-consumption rates

• targeting also a short-term market parity achievement (100- €/MWh) by IPPs for utility-scale generation in the Country’s highest-radiation locations (Sicily)

• an enormous market (18 GW capacity, 0.5+ Mio plants) exploitable by specialists of O&M, with a particular emphasis on advanced services of “O&M&performance” optimization

• the “place to be” for green investors: possibly the world’s largest and most profitable secondary market for solar parks

• an ideal environment (starting from the 30+ Mio smart meters in operation since many years) for innovation leaders for developing micro-grids & smart grids concepts and distributed- & grid-scale storage systems
