What is Solar Energy in Italy?

The solar energy in Italy has seen a major surge in this industry among other European countries such as Germany, Turkey, Spain, and the Netherlands.

In July 2005, the country started its first “Conto Energia” program to support the development of renewable power, and the result so far has been remarkable. In 2018, Italy added solar PV capacity of 437 MW, and its PV market grew by 7%.

The major driving factor in the Italian PV market has been solar rooftops, and the number of solar installation projects with more than 1 MW capacity increased in in 2017 and 2018.

Italy is considered the country of sunshine which makes the nation very favourable for the installations of solar energy production plants and farms. In Central-Southern Italy, the annual solar radiation can range from 4.7 kWh per square metre per day, and 5.4 kWh per square metre per day in Sicily. While the other regions also have a very high solar energy production potential making Italy one of the leading countries for the production of solar energy, as well as in the sector of research and technological innovation.

The solar energy in Italy has seen a major surge in this industry among other European countries such as Germany, Turkey, Spain, and the Netherlands. Italy’s PV market is known as one of the photovoltaic markets that definitely deserve a place in the solar energy spotlight. In fact, during the first ten years of the new millennium, Italy was on the third spot after Germany and Spain to experience a significant boom in solar installations after encouraging the citizen through government incentives. This made most of the manufacturers and citizens embrace and support solar power.

In 2010, The Montalto di Castro Photovoltaic Power Station was completed and it is considered the largest photovoltaic power station in Italy with 85 MW solar capacity. Along with this largest PV power station, there are also other large PV plants like Cellino San Marco with 42.7 MW capacity, San Bellino with 70.6 MW capacity, and Sant’ Alberto with solar capacity of 34.6 MW.

Aside from conventional solar PV technology, Italy is also known for its developing concentrated solar power (CSP) technology. To function efficiently, this concentrated solar technology requires higher direct solar irradiation, which makes the country suitable for this technique as Italy has more exposure to sunlight. Furthermore, the southern regions including the islands of Sardinia and Sicily also offer good conditions for CSP technology, the reason why the Italian government provided large investments to promote this solar power development.

Currently, there are three solar plants running in the country. The first one is the Archimede solar plant, which was installed on the island of Sicily in 2010, attaining a solar capacity of 5 MW. Moreover, planning and promotion for the CSP technology will undergo several additional projects which would add another solar capacity of 360 MW, annually.

As of now, Italy for being known as “sunshine-blessed” country is currently the second-largest market in Europe in terms of installed solar power generation capacity. Which then, achieved over 20 GW of photovoltaic (PV) power plants in 2018. This year, the Italian solar power market is expected to enter a new series of growth, particularly investing in “grid parity” projects that mostly rely on corporate power purchase agreements (PPAs).

Ballasted Mounting Solar System

Ballasted Mounting Solar System

You may assume that installing a solar panel system is easy as some commercial ads say it is. But in reality, solar installers conduct a roof inspection beforehand to check if your roof is safe to install solar panels to avoid future conflict in the installation process. Note that, not all roofs can pass the test, as there are requirements to follow. 

In today’s article, we will be discussing one of the ways to install your solar panel system on your roof.

What is Ballasted Mounting Solar System?

There are few ways to install a solar panel system on your house roof, the traditional way is directly attaching them to your home’s rafters. This common way needs cutting and putting holes into the roof to place the solar panels. Although most installers care to seal all those holes to avoid water leakage, it will eventually turn into trouble, as those sealers can break down sooner. That’s a real problem to be considered especially if you have a flat roof. It is one of the reasons why some homeowners choose ballasted mounting solar system installation.

Whereas, Ballasted mounting is a way of installing your solar panels on your roof without needing to place bolts on it to fix the panels. The ballast is usually heavy holding itself in place. Its weight distribution sometimes can be used as the ballast itself, but other installers use trays to receive concrete blocks. If you’re concern about those roof holes, this mounting system is ideal for you.

How to Install Ballasted Mounting Solar System?

Unlike the traditional one, Ballasted mounting does not require any holes to fix the solar panels on your roof. A ballasted mounting system offers various benefits of installing solar panels without causing damage to your home’s rafters. Generally, solar ballasts are not directly attached to roof rafters the way traditional solar panel installation works. Instead, concrete blocks or a solar racking system are used as based where the solar panels are placed directly on top and cemented to the surface.

Typically, after your installers inspect your roof, they will suggest the best way to install your solar panels so it is best to follow what your installers recommend than what you like. 

What Kind of Roof Structure is Best for a Ballasted Mounting System?

Most architects design houses with low-slopped and flat roofs, particularly with a complex drainage system. However, this type of roof structure usually brings water leakage problems if small holes start to appear due to rust. 

If you plan to install a solar power system with this type of roof structure, solar installers often suggest choosing the ballast mounting system as it can prevent damage to your roofs. With ballasted mounting, your roof will be free from expansion bolts or chemical bolts that usually damage your roof. To make it simpler, ballasted systems are preferable for homes with flat and low-slopped roofs. 

Conclusion: Should You Install Ballast-Mounted Solar Panels?

Choosing the Ballasted mounting solar system is indeed a good way to install your solar panels. They are relatively easy to install, most importantly, they cannot damage your roof, retaining its great shape. However, you should pick this mounting system if your installers advised you because they surely know what’s best for your roof. Remember it is much suited to low-slopped and flat roofs than those high-slopped ones. 

Distributors

Solar Products Distributors

Distributors are those companies working as big warehouses that served as the middlemen between the consumer/customer and the manufacturer. Typically, in distribution, a company is handling the sourcing, stocking and logistics but nowadays they are also helping manufacturers in product designing and solving other business conflicts. 

Aside from other industries, distributors also play a vital role in the solar industry. Solar distributors become long-term partners of solar manufacturing companies and even solar contractors. They are not only serving as warehouse facilities but partners that also provide strategic solutions to help solar companies achieve their desired outcomes. Solar distributors assist solar manufacturing companies by storing. handling and shipping their solar products to their buyers. On the other hand, they help solar contractor companies in outsourcing high-quality solar products. 

These solar distributors are the ones who deal with homeowners who want to go solar, businesses that work with the solar industry and solar installers who offer solar system services to both residential and commercial customers. But on top of that, the solar distributor’s main role is to maintain its commitment to outsourcing and handling high-quality products and delivering them to customers at a good value. 

Up to these days, many solar distributors have been operating and helping many solar companies in distributing their products. So, if you are looking for the most trusted and reliable solar distributor, you can easily find one by checking out solar outsourcing companies that provide easy access to reliable information, news, data and a list of solar suppliers and distributors near you.
