Italy mounted 115 MW of PV in Q1

• The nation mounted 10 MW much more solar in the very first three months of the year than it did in the same duration a year earlier. Its advancing capability surpassed 21 GW by the end of March.

Italy installed around 115.3 MW of solar power in the initial three months of 2020, according to provisional numbers launched by the Italian renewable energy organization, ANIE Rinnovabili, as well as data given by grid driver Terna.

The performance is up a little from 105 MW in the very same period last year and 89 MW in the initial quarter of 2018. February was the month with the highest possible growth this year, at 46.6 MW, complied with by March and also January with 35.8 MW and also 33.0 MW, respectively.

According to the most up to date data, PV tasks that do not go beyond 1 MW in dimension represent mostly all of the recently released capacity, at 96.7 MW. Solar parks over 1 MW only made up 18.6 MW of the overall.

Residential PV systems approximately 20 kW in size still make up the largest share, with around 52.2 MW of capacity. PV systems ranging from 20 kW to 100 kW account for 18.3 MW of the quarterly total. Meanwhile, installments of commercial and also commercial PV systems ranging from 100 kW to 1 MW reached 26.3 MW in the initial three months of the year.

The parts of the country with the highest development volumes are the Lombardy region, which brought 19.7 MW of brand-new solar online, and also the southern region of Sicily, with precisely the very same volume. Northern areas, such as the Veneto as well as Emilia-Romagna regions, finished the quarter with 12.5 MW and also 11.4 MW, specifically.

The provisionary figures show that Italy surpassed 21 GW of solar capability at the end of March. The nation's National Integrated Plan for Climate as well as Energy go for 50 GW of solar by 2030.
