Enhanced Self-Consumption: By integrating battery storage, PV owners can store surplus energy during the day and use it at night, reducing reliance on the grid and maximizing solar utilization.

Does Italy need an energy storage system?

On 21 January 2020, the Ministry of Economic Development published the Integrated National Energy and Climate Plan, setting targets for energy efficiency, development of renewable sources, and CO2 emissions reduction. These targets cannot be achieved without implementing an efficient energy storage system in Italy.

How many building integrated photovoltaic plants have been installed in Italy?

Since then, over 2 GW of Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) plants have been installed in Italy, including plants built beyond all the possible definitions of BIPV. The path to success for BIPV has been built on a number of requirements, for PV modules, buildings, and installation criteria, with a long-term vision.

What role do energy storage systems play in Italy's decarbonisation & energy security?

Energy storage systems play a crucial role in Italy’s decarbonisation and energy security. On 21 January 2020, the Ministry of Economic Development published the Integrated National Energy and Climate Plan, setting targets for energy efficiency, development of renewable sources, and CO2 emissions reduction.

Can batteries be used for energy storage in Italy?

In Italy, batteries have become an attractive technology for electricity storage projects although they are not traditionally used.

How many BIPV plants are installed in Italy?

In addition, we report results achieved in Italy, where out of the 21,6 GW of total PV capacity installed at the end of 2020, around 2,5 GW are BIPV plants. This 2,5 GW has been incentivized under the feed in tariff (FiT) law managed by Gestore dei Servizi Energetici (hereafter, GSE).

Is there a market for electricity storage in Italy?

The market for electricity storage in Italy is growing very fast. However, the legislative framework is fragmented and does not fully cover all the main features of this market. Until a few years ago, the legislation only mentioned pumped hydro and did not acknowledge any other forms of energy storage.
