Why choose to install a photovoltaic system

Over the past few years, thanks also to the attention of European regulations, there has been a significant increase in focus on renewable energy, with a particular emphasis on photovoltaics. The context in which Southenergy operates today is radically different from 2008 (the year the company was founded). Users have finally discovered and understood the value of renewables, approaching the topic with much greater sensitivity and beginning to understand what photovoltaics are and what expected benefits they may bring. Today’s users are much more familiar with the concept of energy emancipation. And it is precisely the new scenario that makes energy emancipation a transversal lever in various sectors, an integral part of existing and future building strategies, and corporate budget plans. Autonomous energy production and management thus become an opportunity, a crucial asset that impacts the entire balance sheet of companies and families alike. In this context, photovoltaic energy emerges as a crucial solution for managing the energy costs of businesses and households. Equipping oneself with a system that allows for energy production enables predicting its cost for the next 20 years, meaning, for example, setting the price of one’s energy with consequent conscious management of it in present and future corporate investment plans. Similarly, matching household energy needs with autonomous energy production and management allows for immediate economic savings on electrical utilities. But it also satisfies much more evolved needs, including mobility itself. It means preparing to adopt an energy management system that is not only functional to domestic consumption but also to the management of family mobility itself.

A smart investment for the future

Confirming this positive trend are the recently released data on the subject: photovoltaics, in the last year Italy installed 5.23 GW divided into 374,000 plants. During 2023, Italy put 5.7 GW of new renewable plants into operation, almost exclusively photovoltaic, which contributed 5.23 GW with a robust growth (+111%) compared to the previous year. Of the power connected last year, 43% (2.26 GW, +83%) was related to the residential sector, 35% (1.82 GW, +168%) was attributable to C&I and 22% (1.16 GW, +103%) was attributable to the utility scale sector. These figures highlight the increasing role that photovoltaics is playing in the European energy landscape, confirming it as a key solution to address current challenges and to ensure a more sustainable energy future.

Why it pays to install a photovoltaic system

The installation of a photovoltaic system is a wise and profitable choice in many respects. This technology is proving to be increasingly attractive to those who wish to contribute to environmental sustainability while also preserving immediate savings on their energy bills, achieving increasing energy independence, and at the same time enhancing the value of their property.

Saving on bills

One of the main reasons why it makes sense to install a photovoltaic system is the significant savings in energy costs. Thanks to their ability to generate electricity from the sun, photovoltaic systems significantly reduce dependency on traditional sources of electricity, generating tangible benefits. For example, a citizen or business that chooses to self-consume the electricity produced by a photovoltaic system accrues a number of economic benefits including bill savings: the more energy that is self-consumed, the more the costs of drawing energy from the national grid are reduced. Valorisation of the energy produced: in addition, producing energy with a photovoltaic system can be a source of income thanks to incentive mechanisms managed by the GSE (Gestore dei Servizi Energetici).

Tax advantages and energy independence

The installation of a photovoltaic system provides access to a number of tax benefits and incentives. Measures that can make it easier to manage the initial cost of the system while accelerating the payback of the investment. There are many incentives towards renewable energy that can be implemented, measures that make clear the necessary transition towards energy independence and an electrification of consumption that sees each user aware of how much clean energy they can produce, at what cost, in order to satisfy increasingly transversal electricity consumption.

Increase in property value

Another point in favour of installing a photovoltaic system is its positive impact on property value. Houses and companies equipped with photovoltaic systems are considered more attractive on the real estate market because they offer not only energy savings but also a reduced ecological footprint. This translates into a higher building value and, consequently, an even more significant return on investment. Added to this is compliance with current regulations, for example the EU ‘Green Homes’ directive definitively approved by the European Parliament: new buildings must be zero-emission by 2030, for existing buildings a target of 16% reduction in energy consumption by 2030 and 20-22% by 2035.

Contribution to environmental sustainability

The installation of a photovoltaic system significantly contributes to environmental sustainability. By using photovoltaic energy, emissions of CO2 or other climate-altering gases are significantly reduced. This helps preserve the environment for future generations, playing a part in the fight against climate change.

In conclusion, investing in a photovoltaic system is a decision that proves advantageous on multiple fronts. From saving on energy costs to increasing the value of the property, to promoting environmental sustainability, the reasons to embrace this technology are numerous.

Since 2008, Southenergy has been providing customized solutions aimed at enhancing renewable energy sources, leveraging what companies and individuals already possess: their roofs.

The specialization in the sector, the physical presence in the territory, an organizational structure benefiting from highly qualified internal personnel, and equipment and means of ownership to be able to promptly manage the entire value chain in the construction and management of energy are the true strengths of Southenergy.
