The gross available energy from solar photovoltaic in Italy saw variable growth from 2013 to 2023. Starting at 1.86 MTOE in 2013, it rose to 2.22 MTOE by 2023, marking a steady increase over the decade with occasional dips. A notable drop occurred in 2016 with a 3.65% decrease, but recovery was swift with peaks such as a 10.29% increase in 2017. The last few years reflect moderate growth, with a 1.39% rise in 2023. The average annual growth rate (CAGR) over the past five years stands at 2.61%.
Forecasts predict continued growth, albeit at a slower pace, with an expected CAGR of 0.86% from 2024 to 2028, driving the gross available energy to 2.34 MTOE by 2028. This points towards a stable but gradual increase in solar photovoltaic contributions to Italy's energy mix.
Future trends to watch for include technological advancements in solar efficiency, government policies promoting renewable energy, and economic factors affecting investment in solar infrastructure. These elements will play crucial roles in shaping the trajectory of solar energy utilization in Italy.
