According to EUPD Research's Global Energy Transition GET-Matrix©, Italy aims to install at least 1.04 GW of new PV through agrivoltaics by 2026. Considering all measures, EUPD Research estimates that the country is set to install around ~5.8 GW in 2025. The country’s cumulative PV capacity is likely to reach ~70 GW by the end of 2029, almost aligning with the target of reaching 79 GW installed capacity by 2030.

[DE] The Classic PV-Era is Coming to an End - The Future Belongs to Profit Optimized Energy Systems | January 5

For over a decade, the same successful model worked: install modules, feed electricity into the grid, and receive subsidies. It was a simple, linear system that massively promoted the expansion of photovoltaics. But this model is reaching its limits. The electricity market has become more volatile. Regulatory frameworks are changing. Grid requirements are increasing. Pure PV generation hardly creates any differentiation anymore—value is created through intelligent system integration.
