– Feed-in Tariffs (FiTs) in Italy.

  –Incentivation mechanisms

  – Fixing  your solar electricity rate for the next 15-20-25 years with a discounted rate (PPA) ensures you are  always saving

  – Increased property value: Installing a solar energy system can increase the value of your property, making it a smart long-term investment for your business.

  – Low maintenance costs: Solar panels require very little maintenance once installed. Consequently, you won’t have to spend a lot of money on upkeep.

Predictable energy costs: Solar energy costs are predictable and stable, unlike traditional electricity prices that can fluctuate over time.

Energy independence: By generating your own electricity, your business can become more self-sufficient and less reliant on the grid. This can save you money in the long run.

Reduced carbon footprint: Switching to solar energy can significantly reduce your business’s carbon footprint. This is not only good for the environment but can also help to improve your brand reputation.

Add green to brand value: Your customers, clients and suppliers will recognize your efforts to be carbon neutral, This will improve your brand value.

Long-term savings: Solar panels have an average lifespan of 25-30 years, therefore the initial investment can provide long-term savings for your business.

Scalable energy solutions: Solar energy systems can be scaled to fit the needs of any business. This is the main reason why it is a flexible and customizable solution for businesses of all sizes.

The choice of the site for investment is one of the fundamental first steps that determines, based on its exposure, the terrain morphology, and the distance from an electric power substation, the Project feasibility.

The most sought-after extensions in the agricultural category are those starting from at least 10 hectares, moreover we do evaluate lands from 6Ha and above. Usually, depending on the areas a photovoltaic installation on land must be approved passing a series of Evaluations (Environmental, aseismic, historical hydrogeological, etc.) and at the end of the process a single authorization is issued (Authorization Unica or “AU”).

There are exceptions which can be authorized with a simplified procedure (PAS) depending on type and size of projects; furthermore, and all industrial, former quarry lands, lands in proximity to industrial areas or motorways can also be dispensed from the lengthy of the AU process.

Once your land has been identified, it is necessary to carry out careful technical analyses.

The main aspects to consider during a feasibility study are the slope of the terrain and its exposure, the morphology of the surface and its pattern (regular or irregular), the distance from an electric power substation (preferably not exceeding 5 km), the absence of landscape constraints (such as natural parks, protected sites, sites of community interest, archaeological areas, etc.), hydro-geological constraints, presence of a river or lake, distance from the coast, presence of a highway, railway, or power line tower.

If the technical analyses provide a positive feedback, the first step to start of a potential project is the signing of a contract between our company and you (the landowner). Depending if the photovoltaic installation will be Agrivoltaics or not the relationship between the parties will be different: while for a normal photovoltaic installation (not agrivoltaics) a relatively simple contract for the transfer of the surface rights to us is enough, the Agrivoltaics requires a more in-depth analysis of the needs of all parties involved and the contractual relationships will be regulated by a bespoke contract.

The preliminary contract is a commitment by Us to purchase a surface right (or and other mutual commitments in case of Agrivoltaics) on the land, only and exclusively upon the occurrence of certain conditions to allow the construction and commissioning of the ground-mounted photovoltaic plant. The most important conditions are:

  – The positive outcome of all technical analyses and an Urban Destination Certificate (CDU) that provides a complete and current framework of the land’s use and its alignment with the current Regional Landscape Plans (PPR)

  – The acceptance of the connection estimate received from ENEL or TERNA and

  – The obtaining by the company of the financing resolution from a credit institution or another financing entity.

After signing the preliminary contract with US, the first authorization step is the request for connection to the network operator (E-Distribution or TERNA) for the release of the STMG, which is the estimate for the connection and it allows evaluating the investment. This document details how to proceed for the connection including technical and economic conditions for the connection to the electricity grid.

The Detailed Technical Solution (STMD) instead is prepared by the distributor only after obtaining the authorization (AU or PAS), and therefore much later in the project development process (see next step).

If the WE accept the connection cost received from ENEL or TERNA, the next step is to proceed with the request for the release of the Single Authorization from the competent authority (region and/or province). The Single Environmental Authorization (AUA) is a environmental authorization provision issued by the Single Desk for Productive Activities (SUAP) and is issued after 180 days + 120 days for the appeal.

In many regions, for plants over 1 MWp, it takes an average of one year (and the deadlines are definitively set by law): a step forward compared to the past when there was no defined time limit, although it is still a fairly cumbersome process and takes around 360 days only for the part under the public administration’s competence. In addition, there are response times to any requests for integration.

Where PAS authorization (Simplified enabling procedure) applies, the authorisation process is faster.

Once the Single Authorization becomes indisputable (i.e., the deadline for appeal has expired), the phase of realization of the ground-mounted photovoltaic plant can begin.

Having obtained all authorizations, the Installation phase begins. Depending on the size and complexity of the project the duration of this phase can consistently vary.

We will take care of the entire process from A to Z.

The connection of a photovoltaic plant to the electricity grid is carried out directly by the grid operator. Once the solar panel system is connected, the photovoltaic plant will be operational and will begin to produce and sell energy.

During the life of a photovoltaic plant (usually estimated at 30-40 years), the plant will always be under constant care: maintenance and/or technical replacements are carried out on a regular basis. land maintenance as well is an important and while in standard photovoltaic installation is done by the PV plant operator (US), with Agrivoltaics project this is done by the Farmer.
