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).

Roof Mount Systems

Roof Mounts Systems for Solar Panels

When installing a solar panel system, you should understand first the different types of installation processes and methods to determine what is the ideal method for your solar power system needs. Besides, examining the advantages and disadvantages of all installation types is necessary when considering solar for your residential or commercial properties to get the best return on your investment.

For today’s article, we will highlight the roof mounting system and the important things you need to know before choosing this type of solar installation method.

What is a Roof Mounting System?

A roof-mounted solar panel system is a type of installing PV modules in your house roof. This type of solar panel installation is an excellent option for both residential and commercial applications. Unlike other methods, it is way more economical and low in maintenance. Whether you are installing a solar power system to power your home or run your business, they can give you the best return on your investment.

Among the other mounting methods, roof mounting is the most popular mostly to homeowners due to its convenience and other benefits. By getting a roof-mounted solar system, you will not only take advantage of getting the best and maximum natural sunlight exposure, but you can also enjoy the perks of solar power without taking up too much space on your property, unlike the ground-mounted solar installation.

Applications Ideal for Roof-Mounted Systems?

Any residential or commercial application is ideal for roof-mounted solar panels installations. As long as the properties are naturally exposed to the sun then you can choose a roof mount system. Although it is very common to residential properties, they are also beneficial on huge facilities such as commercial buildings, hospitals, hotels, universities and campuses, or any building with a large roof that is easy to access. Besides, solar panels can be mounted on asphalt shingles, sheet metal, tile and any other type of substrate, both ideal for flat and sloped roofs. However, before your installer sets up your solar panels on your home’s roof, they would assess first the quality and current condition of your roof to avoid future problems.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Roof Mounting Systems

When planning to get a roof-mounted solar power system, you should also consider first the advantages and disadvantages of it so you know if it would fit your preference and needs.

Pros of a roof mount:

  • A roof mounting system can utilize the free space at the rooftop that otherwise wouldn’t be used to anything.
  • The initial installation cost is lower than the ground-mounted solar system.
  • It doesn’t need a huge space of land that could be used for other purposes.
  • It is beyond the reach of any unauthorized person so it is free from accessing the panels. 
  • At some point, since the solar panels are covering your roof, they can protect the roof from exposure to any bad elements.

Cons of a roof mount:

  • For shingle roofs, you need to undergo roof penetration to pass the installation requirements.
  • If your roof is a bit old, then your installer may require you to get a new roof before installation.
  • You might have to remove and reinstall panels if you need to repair or replace your roof.
  • It can add loads to your roof, and in some cases, the roof could require additional support mechanisms to carry the added weight.
  • Can damage your roof since a roof-mounted solar power system is fixed onto the roof, requiring holes and screws to attach it.

Final Thoughts

Installing roof-mounted solar panels is the common type of solar panel installations. However, it requires careful consideration of the layout of your property’s roof and the location of your property. As part of the installation process, your installers will examine if it fits your property to determine if it would fit the roof mount system installation or not.

Wholesalers

Solar Products Wholesalers 

Wholesaling refers to buying some products or goods directly from its manufacturer usually at a discount and then reselling it to the retailers for a comparatively higher cost than the original. Basically, wholesalers handle products and package them in small quantities and then sell them to retail customers, either for commercial or personal use. 

Many industries have wholesalers, and that will not skip the solar industries. Nowadays, many solar wholesale stores/firms are operating across the globe, making it much easier for retailers to go solar. Sometimes retailers find it hard to reach direct manufacturers of solar products because some companies do not have their solar stores/shops in public, with that they are not also offering solar products per piece. Through wholesale solar stores/shops, these individuals can easily buy the solar products that they need to replace or maintain their solar systems. 

If you are in need of solar product suppliers for an individual purpose, you may visit some solar outsourcing marketplace to get an updated list of solar wholesalers near your location. There are many solar platforms that provide enough information and data about the solar industry in your region, including all the reliable solar wholesalers in town.
