We are the second nation with the highest installed power, up to <strong>18 GWp<\/strong> although the installations in recent years have undergone a sharp decline. <strong>Revamping<\/strong> offers new market opportunity.<\/p>\n<h2>Old plants out of guarantee: new businesses<\/h2>\n<p>But since most of the plants, mostly large, were built between 2008 and 2011 when the feed-in tariff was very high, and by now many of these plants have <strong>lost the guarantees<\/strong>, not even through failure or exit from the PV market and no longer have technical assistance from the producers.<\/p>\n<p>These considerations lead to a simple fact, we <strong>face a new business<\/strong>, the <strong>Revamping<\/strong>, or <strong>modernization of obsolete plants<\/strong> that aims to <strong>improve the performance<\/strong> of the plant, thus ensuring greater productivity and longer life expectancy .<\/p>\n<p><strong>SMA<\/strong> is the <strong>first manufacturer of photovoltaic inverters in the world<\/strong> and boasts over thirty years of experience in the industry and thanks to the state-of-the-art product portfolio can meet all your needs.<\/p>\n<h2>Business plan with VP Solar for Revamping evaluation<\/h2>\n<p>The <strong>specialized technical service<\/strong> with which <strong>VP Solar Technical Team<\/strong> is in constant contact helps an <strong>increasing number of investor and owners<\/strong> to make the right business plan calculated during the design phase of the plant satisfied and improved with remarkable satisfaction from all the part involved.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More information<\/strong> about the VP Solar service at the email: <a href=\"mailto:sales@vpsolar.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sales@vpsolar.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The <strong>hurry to build<\/strong> due to the incentive rate has accelerated the planning, material retrieval and construction of the plants, which has led to <strong>owners who are not satisfied with the performance and services<\/strong> needed to maintain the same low quality received in the facility, together.<\/p>\n<p>Consequently, the planned production in the business plan does not correspond to what is budgeted and thus from the <strong>economic point of view do not do as they should<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>Increasing photovoltaic plants efficiency with SMA\u2019s inverter<\/h2>\n<p>A study by <strong>SMA<\/strong> on an installed base of some <strong>dozen MWp<\/strong> confirms that past <strong>installations are of poor quality<\/strong> and that 69% of the failures depends on the inverter, in other words poorly if the <strong>inverter that is the heart of the plant does not work at 100<\/strong>% of its capacity, all of its economic returns are affected.<\/p>\n<p>Hence, there is a growing need to carry out <strong>revamping operations by replacing the inverter with a new<\/strong>, more efficient and durable technology, but above all by a company that can take care of for the lifetime of the plant.<\/p>\n<p><strong>VP Solar in collaboration with SMA<\/strong> performs technical and economic simulations by analyzing together with the client whether the revampig operation is meaningful or not going to see efficiency, derating, self-consumption losses, and other while <strong>considering the service provided by the inverter manufacturer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photovoltaic in Italy is still a very lively market.
