Italia: Much excitement mixed about anything durchschnaufen The Italian photovoltaic industry can. The target of the massive government cuts the funding for the time being there will not - according to the financial portal EcoReport . Above all, the idea of the table, the strong extension of the solar capacity by a cover to stop abruptly. Originally targeted to the government in Rome,
later this week to impose wage cuts of up to 30 percent and an end for large-scale photovoltaic power plants with capacity of 1 megawatt (MW). The introduction of an additional cover was considered because the current system apparently does not. The current law in force, the Conto Energia, provides for a cap on the solar market with a total capacity of 3 GW, but this with a long transition period. According to the competent authority of the country's energy, the GSE is this year with the installation of additional solar capacity of five gigawatts (GW) to be expected. In the coming year will likely reach the target for a total of 8 GW, which was actually targeted for 2020.

The Italian trade association Gruppo Imprese Italiane Aiche photo Volt (GIFI) could dissuade the government to match any media reports in negotiations with the competent ministries of quick and massive intervention for now. First, a decision was in the next month, was postponed so that the
persists past and very attractive remuneration for solar electricity at least until late May. spoke Second, political leaders such as Industry Minister Paolo Romano binding with a new cover. Because that would stifle the domestic solar market.
draw Nevertheless, significant cuts from mid-year. It also provides Ben Lynch, solar-expert at Commerzbank. According to him a new cap would have meant that more than 1 GW could be installed this year, so only half as much as last year. The experience showed that the companies concerned with cuts in tariffs would cope better than with a red cap. Lynch expects that to fall to June, the Italian solar tariffs by 30 percent. For large installations from 5 GW expected to promote an auction system will replace over fixed feed-in tariffs.
"adjustments to the funding rates are the right step," says to Markus AW Hoehner, CEO of the Bonn-based market researcher and consulting firm EuPD Research. "Prices for smaller roof-mounted PV systems in Italy are on average around 4,300 €, with a peak even at 6,000 €. Significantly higher than in other European countries such as Germany, Spain or France, "said Hoehner. If the italienischen Tarife in der Tat zum Juni kippen, würde nach Deutschland auch der zweitgrößte Solarmarkt die Tarife für Sonnenstrom aus Neuanlagen massiv senken. Das macht einen deutlichen Rückgang der Preise für Solarmodule in der zweiten Jahreshälfte sehr wahrscheinlich. Eine solche Entwicklung würde den Kostendruck auf die Hersteller erhöhen. Solarproduzenten mit Preisvorteilen, etwa chinesische Hersteller und die auf günstige Dünnschichtmodule spezialisierte First Solar aus den USA, könnten davon profitieren und weitere Martanteile erobern.
Denn Solarprojektierer müssen dann auch in Italien fortan mit spitzer Feder kalkulieren. Das gilt etwa für Phoenix Solar aus dem bayrischen Sulzemoos, die generates up to 15 percent of its sales in Italy. Commerzbank analyst Lynch sees but the outlook for the shares are not clouded. It could pass the pressure on manufacturers of solar products. He recommends the shares of Phoenix Solar continue to buy, with target price 38 euros. Noon today listed the share certificate in Frankfurt at 22.7 euros.
are, however, the desired cuts by June by no means unsafe. several representatives of Italin Photovoltikbranche have already announced further resistance to a change in the short term to 2013, actually set out Conto Energia.
