Solar power in Italy has been increasing rapidly in recent years with the country ranking among the world’s largest producers of electricity from solar power. Installed photovoltaic nameplate capacity has increased nearly 15-fold from 2009 to 2013 and 2013's year-end capacity of 17,928 MW ranks third in the world. Solar power accounted for 7% of the electricity generated in Italy during 2013 (ranked 1st in the world), a share that's expected to double by 2030. As of December 2013, the installed capacity is approaching 18 GW, with a production so important that several gas turbine power plants currently operate at half their potential during the day. The sector provides employment to about 100,000 people, especially in design and installation.〔(Il fotovoltaico in Italia ha una potenza di 17 GW e dà lavoro a 100mila. Quale futuro senza incentivi? )〕 The Montalto di Castro Photovoltaic Power Station is the largest photovoltaic power station in Italy, in Montalto di Castro in Viterbo province. The project was built in several phases. The first phase with a total capacity of 24 MW was connected in late 2009. The second phase (8 MW) was commissioned in 2010, and the third and fourth phases, totaling 44 MW, were completed in December 2010, bringing the total to 85 MW.〔(eXenewable Project Profile Page - Monalto di Castro, PV, Italy )〕 == Photovoltaics == As of the end of 2010, there were 155,977 solar PV plants, with a total capacity of 3,469.9 MW. At the end of 2011, there were 330,196 installations, totaling 12,773 MW.〔 The number of plants and the total capacity surged between 2009 and 2011 following high incentives from ''Conto Energia''. The total power capacity installed tripled and plants installed doubled in 2010 compared to 2009, with an increase of plant's average dimensions.〔 The increase was even greater in 2011.〔(Gestore dei Servizi Energetici - GSE S.p.A )〕 Energy production from photovoltaics was 1,905.7 GWh in 2010, and 18,800 GWh in 2012.〔〔 Annual growth rates were fast in recent years: 251% in 2009, 182% in 2010, and 466% in 2011.〔 More than a fifth of the total production in 2010 came from the southern region of Apulia.〔 In 2011, 20% came from Apulia, followed by 10% from Emilia-Romagna.〔 Italy added an estimated 3.4 GW of capacity in 2012.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Global Market Outlook for Photovoltaics 2013 - 2017 )〕 The annual energy production from solar PV in Italy ranges from 1,000 to 1,500 kWh per installed kWp.〔 A 2013 report by Deutsche Bank concluded that solar power has already reached grid parity in Italy. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Solar power in Italy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
