For Senec the Italian market is attractive. The energy storage supplier is, according to its own account, one of the suppliers who meet the specific requirements of the Italian market and have a certificate.

In addition, Senec has a well-developed network of partner installers. "We have decided to found Senec Italia's as an own subsidiary”, says Senec CEO Norbert Schlesiger. five colleagues take care of Italian customers from Bari. However, the site is to be further expanded in the near future. The proximity to customers is important, emphasizes Schlesiger: "In this respect, this step is logical and a commitment to the Italian market."

In 2016 the Italian PV market grew by 22 percent compared to the previous year. Stimulating factors are the high power prices, which drive solar self-consumption. The majority of the solar PV systems installed in 2016 accounted for private roof installations of up to 20 kilowatts and commercial systems of a maximum of 100 kilowatts. (NHP/HCN))
