Solar power in Italy
Encyclopedia
Italy
ranked as the world’s second largest producer of solar power with an installed nameplate capacity of 9.000 MW and 263.594 plants in operation in 18 August 2011.
In 2010, in particular, on the basis of recent data from the Statistical Report of the GSE, the installed capacity has tripled compared to 2009 and the cumulative amount at December 31 amounted to about 3470 MW. The latter value was referring to about 156,000 systems installed with the Energy Bill. The fact that at a distance of about eight months the plant came into operation have increased by almost 107,400 units and the total power installed within this time has more than doubled the cumulative amount at December 31 last year confirms the extraordinary dynamism of this market in Italy.
