Service & Consulting
Thanks to our constant update on legislation, we provide a wide range of assistance and consultancy services on the periodic fulfillment of obligations concerning photovoltaic systems.
Our goal is to protect the government incentives and the investments of our customers.
Our Main Services
According to circular 36/E of the Italian Revenue Agency, issued on 1 January 2013, photovoltaic plants > 3 Kwp, with an income increase above 15%, must be registered in the cadastral registry within 30 days from the connection to the public electricity grid. In circular no. 2/E, released on 1 February 2016, the Italian Revenue Agency introduced significant changes with regard to the calculation of the cadastral income. In particular, PV modules are not to be considered in the determination of the cadastral rent, with the only exception being panels that are integrated in the roof or on the surface of a building. For already registered units, it is possible to submit update requests in order to exclude eligible plant components, obtaining a reduction up to 90% on the existing cadastral income.

Presidential Decree no. 462/2001 sets forth the obligation for any employer to have regular checks on their grounding systems carried out by an inspection body authorised by the Ministry of the Economic Development. In this regard, we guarantee the following services:
-
Documentary evaluation
-
Inspection of locations and plants
-
Measurement of “step and contact” voltages
-
Protection continuity and equipotential conductors testing
-
Verification of the ground ring overall value
-
Earth leakage switches instrumental verification

Coordination calculation between earth leakage switches and ground network
Thermography is taking on an increasingly important role as a non-destructive testing technique: in fact, an easy and fast detection of thermal delta in a structure or in a mechanical component allows to identify problems quickly. It is extremely useful in the field of renewable energy, such as in the detection of the energy dispersion in the form of heat . Thermography can be used to:
-
detect, during normal solar load, defective cells with temperatures exceeding the maximum operating temperature (normally 85° C)
-
detect flaws in the connections between cells and protection diodes
-
assess efficiency losses on PV panels with uneven temperature distribution due to cells or groups of cells at a temperature higher than normal
-
reduce maintenance times (especially for large systems) and check the operation state of PV modules during the operating years through specific reports
-
prove/check the hermetic seal of the supports (useful for installation on roofs)
We carry out power quality tests by means of our network analysers. Power quality indicates the extent to which a system can reliably manage the workloads. A disturbance or alteration in power supply can affect voltage, current or frequency. Disturbances in power supply can be generated by the users’ supply systems, by their loads or even by the Transmission System Operator . When an electrical disturbance is not within the established operating limitations, the equipment could be broken or damaged. These diagnoses are important because they help solving three fundamental problems: loss of productivity, interruption and damage of production cycles; energy cost (the Transmission System Operator can charge a penalty for absorption peaks and low power factor).
We provide building energy audits and certifications in compliance with the regulations in force. More specifically, we provide the following services:
-
audit, or design verification, aimed at determining the energy performance of the building and at identifying cost-effective interventions of energy requalification
-
Classification of the building according to the energy performance index and comparison with legal thresholds and potentials for improvements in relation to the identified upgrading interventions
-
Issue of the energy performance certificate
Consultancy and support during the Distributor/GSE’s inspection activities: the Energy Service Manager and the Transmission System Operator , in compliance with the regulations in force, may perform periodic audits and inspections on PV systems in operation. The average percentage of plants which do not meet the requirements is about 10% (source: GSE). The most serious consequences of such activities are the suspension of or exclusion from government incentives. For this reason, we are able to provide consultancy during these audits in order to support our customers in proving the correctness of their applications for incentives. Our work involves both a preventive analysis and an actual intervention during the inspection, in order to develop the most appropriate solutions to maintain incentives, if discrepancies with respect to what was previously transmitted to the GSE and the Grid Operator are detected.
Conto Termico 2.0, in force since 31 May 2016, enhances and simplifies the support measures already introduced by Decree 28/12/2012, which promotes interventions to increase energy efficiency and produce thermal energy from renewable sources with 900 million euros of state funds. The most significant variations concern: increase in the size of the eligible plants, simplification of application procedures, increase in the limit of disbursement of incentives in a single instalment, reduction in payment times. With Conto Termico 2.0 you can improve the energy efficiency of your building, reducing the cost of energy consumption and maximising the return on the financial investment in a short time. In addition to the equipment installation, we provide a turnkey service which also includes the completion of the procedure to apply for “Conto Termico” incentives to the Energy Services Manager
