Install a photovoltaic system and immediately reduce your energy expenses; in addition, your company will be able to benefit from the government incentives provided. We help you take that step toward eco-sustainability and competitiveness with our offer for the installation of photovoltaic roofs for firms, businesses, condominiums, and farms; we size the ideal solution for renewable energy production, maximizing the share of self-consumption and meeting energy needs.
HOW QUICKLY DOES AN PLANT PAY FOR ITSELF?
The answer to this question is of course variable; it is important to keep in mind that in 2023 with still variable but relatively high energy prices, the investment will tend to pay for itself in an even shorter time.
In particular, with a system at full capacity and calibrated to the company's consumption profile, on average, production comes to cover around 60 percent of the total energy needs; however, this measure will be determined during the quotation phase and through a business plan after carrying out the inspection (free of charge for all our clients) that integrates the analysis of the withdrawal curves from the electricity grid and the production forecasts in order to size the system to maximize the share of self-consumed energy.
Finally, documentation will be prepared for the fulfillment of the necessary paperwork for the installation, activation and connection to the grid of the system with the various stakeholders of reference (grid distributor, Terna, GSE, Customs, etc.).
THE BENEFITS FOR YOU AND YOUR BUSINESS
A photovoltaic system represents a profitable and secure investment. In order to maximize the economic benefit, throughout the life of a system, even exceeding 25 years, it is essential to maintain it at maximum production efficiency. For this reason, in addition to the installation activity, we have provided annual after-sales services adaptable to the specifics and characteristics of the system itself.
Scheduled Maintenance: On a semi-annual basis, work is carried out on the PV generator, inverters, switchboards and electrical devices, namely:
- Generator, switchboards and devices: integrity inspection of the surface and frame of modules and supporting structure, with verification of tightening, checking the condition of wiring, cables and conductors;
- Inverters: checking the integrity of cables and electrical components, tightening terminals and electrical cables, checking DC input fuses and AC power supply fuses, checking the integrity of surge arresters (DC/AC) analysis of operating values, detecting string voltages and reporting faults, testing operation safety shutdown;
Extraordinary maintenance: A check should be made at least once a year to ensure that the system is working safely and that there is no risk of short-circuiting. Extraordinary maintenance includes all control and cleaning operations that are additional to routine maintenance either because they are dangerous or require specific skills and instrumentation. It may consist of replacing inverters, which have a shorter lifespan than the PV panels and the rest of the system. Inverter replacement can be done at the 10° year life of the system or when individual inverters break down.
It is advisable that it is always carried out by a qualified technician. At least once a year, a check with a technician should be made to ensure that the system is working safely and that there is no risk of a short circuit. Extraordinary maintenance includes all control and cleaning operations that are additional to routine maintenance either because they are dangerous or require specific skills and instrumentation. It may consist of replacing the inverters, which have a shorter lifespan than the PV panels and the rest of the system, which is at least 20-25 years. Replacing inverters can be done at 10° years of system life or when individual inverters break down, if those inverters are numerous enough and thus do not cause significant system downtime, but not too many to make replacement costly on a case-by-case basis. The costs of extraordinary maintenance can be estimated around at most 10% of the initial cost of the system, and also include the possible replacement of a few panels due to breakage resulting, for example, from major weather events. Routine maintenance, on the other hand, affects only 1% of the cost of the installation. Therefore, the risk associated with a photovoltaic investment is very low, and essentially associated with extraordinary maintenance.

DEDUCTIONS FOR BUSINESSES
Today more than ever, installing a photovoltaic system for businesses becomes a truly cost-effective choice, and is an excellent investment to cope with rising energy prices thanks to incentives. The production and use of clean energy is among the actions supported by the government to join the European Green Deal and the "Fit for 55%" plan, aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 55% by 2030
With this in mind, the following incentives were introduced for the green economy:
Tax credit
Each company is eligible for a 6% tax credit; to obtain it, the maximum expenditure of the facility must be 2 million euros. Initially, the tax credit had a deadline for use by 12/31/2022, but it has been extended until 6/30/2023
Reverse charge
Tax mechanism that allows VAT holders to defer VAT payment
Nuova Sabatini (Essential goods and core services)
Provision whose purpose is to improve access to credit for small and medium-sized enterprises in order to support the purchase of new machinery, equipment and facilities. SMEs can access financing for the design and installation of new photovoltaic systems in amounts ranging from 20,000 to 4,000,000 euros, financing that is spread over a minimum of five years and with the division into six tranches.
Energy communities are a group of businesses that, having a PV system, can join together and thus obtain a number of benefits. The following requirements are necessary for the creation of an energy community: having an energy production system that meets the energy needs of the individual company, and the energy source must be renewable. By joining energy communities, it is possible to cumulate the incentives of individual companies with each other in order to promote the development of new facilities. In addition, a reduction in bill costs can be achieved if between 150 and 160 C/Mhw of renewable energy is fed into the grid.
TECHNOLOGY, QUALITY, RELIABILITY
We use for our proposed systems only high-quality components produced by our selected technical partners according tothe TIER 1 classification accordingto Bloomberg New Energy Finance Corporation. This classification is used to rank solar panel manufacturers in terms of their financial stability and ability to offer products over the long term scenario. Panel manufacturers that will operate for the entire expected lifetime, approximately 25 years.
Tier-1 solar panels are, according to Bloomberg's criteria, panels produced by manufacturers that:
- carry out the entire production process themselves, from the initial stage of silicon wafer production to the assembly of solar panels, which allows for complete quality control;
- invest in solar panel research and development, including the entire production process, to enable new and further product developments;
- use innovative technologies for production automation, ensuring consistently high quality of finished products;
- have more than five years of manufacturing experience, which guarantees experience and expertise in solar panel production.
Bloomberg's tier system, which is widely accepted worldwide, makes solar modules from Tier-1 manufacturers the best-selling, most popular category of solar modules with high-quality photovoltaic performance.
