Are there incentives for solar thermal?

There are two types of incentives for solar thermal:

  • The Conto Termico 2.0. provides incentives for energy efficiency and thermal energy production from renewable sources. Thanks to the Conto Termico, it is possible to requalify buildings to improve their energy performance, thereby reducing consumption costs and quickly recover a part of the expenditure incurred.
    The incentive is not fiscal in nature and is received by bank transfer, paid directly by the GSE, to your current account.
    The maximum limit for incentives to be paid in a single instalment is EUR 5,000 and the payment time is approximately 2 months.

  • 65% Tax Deduction. This is a tax incentive that is recovered over 10 years on IRPEF (personal income tax) or IRES (corporate income tax). It is applied when work is carried out that increases the level of energy efficiency on existing buildings (work on new buildings is not valid).
    The incentive for solar thermal energy is 65%, calculated on the total of all expenses incurred in carrying out the intervention (supply, installation, supporting masonry work, professional expenses, etc.).
    For natural persons, the deduction is applied to the total amount spent (including VAT), whereas for companies, the deductible is calculated on a taxable basis.

    These incentives are not cumulative.
