Odersun AG solar modules meet criteria for higher solar power tariff in Italy
October 27, 2011
Carrying the ‘Made in Europe’ certificate, Odersun solar modules meet the latest requirements issued by Italian energy agency GSE, enabling operators to claim a 10% higher feed-in tariff than for non-certified products.
Berlin, Germany, 1st November 2011: The VDE Institute has confirmed that the thin-film solar cells produced in Germany by Odersun AG will carry the ‘Made in Europe’ certificate. Solar plant operators using Odersun modules can therefore realize a 10% higher feed-in tariff.
This is based on the latest Italian feed-in law (Conto Energia IV), which introduces new rules for funding solar power in Italy. The energy agency GSE will pay a 10% higher subsidy for projects incorporating European components.
In collaboration with GSE, a certificate has been developed to confirm that at least 60% of a module or its system components have been manufactured in Europe.
