Conto energia 2011+

As is known, Italian PV market currently suffers market uncertainty, because it is still not clear what exactly the new tariffs incentive after 2010 will be. Even though the Ministerial Decree of 19 February 2007 which established the Nuovo Conto Energia Bill has announced several times to provide a tariff revision 2011, down to the present day there was no new ministerial decree or binding decision by Italian government.

The three Italian PV associations GIFI ANIE, APER and ASSOSOLARE, decided to take action and have developed a common understanding and shared inherent in the revision of the Energy Bill 2011. Their proposal was sent to the Ministry of Economic Development and the Ministry of Environment.

The proposal includes:
  1. New feed-in tariff shall be valid for five years (2011-2015) and the total power to reached through new incentives in this five-year period shall be raised from 1.200 to 8.000 MWp;
  2. New feed-in tariff shall only have a decrease of 4% per year, starting from July 2012, after the incentive came into force in 2011, with the aim of underpinning the market towards the "grid parity";
  3. Reformulation of the subdivision for power classes into new groupings: 1-6 kW, 6-20 kW, 20-200 kW 200-1.000 kW and over 1.000 kW;
  4. Adoption of only two types of installation and simpler: "on earth" and "on building"; and
  5. Special provision of special bonuses:
  • for total architectural integration of photovoltaics (+15%);
  • for installation in areas affected by environmental as quarries and landfill at the end of life cycle (+10%); as well as
  • for the replacement of asbestos roofing and Eternit (+10%).
Here is the table of new incentive rates as proposed common of GIFI ANIE, APER and ASSOSOLARE:

Technological trends (BIPV) from SAIEnergia 09


Italy slowly discovers Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV), building integration of PV solar power systems, and thus Photovoltaic modules that are integrated directly into a roof's surface to provide more aesthetic appeal.


Here are the best italian solutions and products for perfect integration of solar power systems into the roof of a building seen at SAIEnergia 09 in Bologna:

Tegolasolare: Traditional hand-crafted clay roof ceramic tile with a small, modular, discreet photovoltaic panel (4 cells) integrated and fitted on the front (see picture above).

Tech-tile: Techtile System can generate both electricity (Techtile Energy) or heat (Techtile Therm). It permits maximum integration with the building because the Techtile roof tile looks exactly the same as a conventional tile.

System Photonics: The ROOF collection replaces or becomes a part of traditional roof coverings (shingle roofing or cascade tiling), while maintaining and improving their insulation and protective properties.
