Italy: 1.06GW of PV installed capacity in the first half of 2022

    A few days ago, according to data from the Italian Renewable Energy Association ANIE Rinnovabili and grid operator Terna, the installed capacity of Off Grid Solar Panel Systems photovoltaics in Italy in the first half of 2022 reached 1,061MW, compared with 362MW in the same period last year, 267MW in the first half of 2020 and 231MW in 2019. rise. Most of this year's capacity was concentrated in the second quarter, with 628MW connected to the Italian grid.

    It is reported that almost all of the newly developed 686MW capacity are photovoltaic projects with a scale of less than 1MW; the solar industrial park with a scale of more than 1MW only accounts for 375MW of the total capacity. Residential PV systems of 20kW and below still accounted for the largest share, with a capacity of about 426MW; PV systems ranging from 20 to 100kW accounted for 76MW of the total capacity; commercial and industrial PV installations ranging from 100kW to 1MW reached 184MW in the first half of this year.

    Preliminary figures show that Italian solar capacity surpassed 22.4GW at the end of June. Italy's National Climate and Energy Comprehensive Plan to achieve 50GW of photovoltaics by 2030.
