According to the Italian National Energy Agency, the country deployed more than 3.51 GW of new solar energy in the first nine months of 2023, bringing the country's cumulative photovoltaic installed capacity to 28.57 GW at the end of September.
Latest statistics from Italian energy agency Gestore dei Servizi Energetici (GSE) show that Italy added about 3.5 GW of new photovoltaic capacity through about 280,000 systems in the first nine months of this year.
As of the end of September 2023, the country's cumulative installed photovoltaic power generation capacity reached 28.57 GW. Of this, approximately 8.44 GW is rooftop installed capacity, while the remaining 16.61 GW comes from ground-mounted PV arrays.
About 46% of new power generation capacity in the first nine months of this year was residential solar power generation, and recent additions have mainly come from commercial and industrial (C&I) and utility-scale projects above 1 MW.
The regions with the highest proportion of newly installed capacity are Lombardy (649 MW), Veneto (486 MW) and Emilia-Romagna (361 MW).
