Valle d’Aosta is the most efficient region in producing solar power: followed by Emilia-Romagna and Piedmont.

According to research by Aceper (Association of Consumers and Producers of Renewable Energy), the Valle d’Aosta is the most “virtuous” region, while Piedmont is the top producer of photovoltaic energy in Italy.

The study was conducted on a sample of 5,236 photovoltaic systems spread across 17 regions.

A region’s “virtuosity” is determined by the ratio between actual photovoltaic production and expected photovoltaic production, where the expected production is estimated using the official measurement tool Pvgis (Photovoltaic Geographical Information System).

Aceper’s ranking places Valle d’Aosta at the top as the most virtuous region with 960,391 kWh (kilowatt-hours) produced and an expected production, according to Pvgis measurement, of 1,011,502 kWh, resulting in a ratio of 95% between actual and expected production.

In second place is Emilia-Romagna, with 37,939,525 kWh produced and 43,840,630 kWh expected (87% ratio), followed by Piedmont, in third place with 139,917,414 kWh produced and 162,741,031 kWh expected (86% ratio), but leading in terms of kWh produced from photovoltaic sources.

Next are three regions with an 85% ratio: Abruzzo, with 20,100,052 kWh produced and 23,625,127 expected; Liguria, with 5,187,522 kWh produced and 6,108,499 kWh expected; and Lombardy, which ranks second in photovoltaic production with 66,305,239 kWh produced and 78,089,977 kWh expected. Veneto follows, with 49,221,066 kWh produced and 58,691,563 kWh expected (84% ratio), making it the third Italian region in terms of production. Marche, with 20,328,123 kWh produced and 24,622,400 kWh expected (83% ratio), precedes Tuscany, with 5,830,869 kWh produced and 7,263,032 kWh expected (80% ratio).

Molise, with 1,589,155 kWh produced and 2,000,284 kWh expected, and Puglia, with 18,459,422 kWh produced and 23,406,458 kWh expected, both have a 79% ratio, while Umbria, with 21,396,944 kWh produced and 27,506,185 kWh expected, has a 78% ratio.

Following are Sicily (2,325,953 kWh produced, 3,144,591 kWh expected, and a 74% ratio), Lazio (16,105,440 kWh produced, 22,635,310 kWh expected, and a 71% ratio), Campania (13,893,494 kWh produced, 19,822,080 kWh expected, and a 70% ratio), Sardinia (49,792 kWh produced, 71,369 kWh expected, and a 70% ratio), and Basilicata, which closes the ranking with 4,171,443 kWh produced, 6,836,095 kWh expected, and a 61% ratio.
