Conto Termico Fotovoltaico

GSE incentive for energy efficiency and renewable energy projects

The Conto Termico 3.0, also known as the “New Thermal Account”, is an incentive managed by the GSE that provides a capital grant for projects aimed at improving energy efficiency and the production of thermal energy from renewable sources. It is not a tax deduction, but a direct financial contribution granted by the GSE after the application is approved.

The Conto Termico 3.0 has a financial allocation of €900 million per year. The incentive intensity can reach up to 65% of eligible expenses and, in cases предусмотренные by regulations, up to 100% of the costs incurred. The payment is made in a single solution when the amount falls within the defined thresholds, or through annual installments for higher amounts. This allows for more reliable investment payback planning compared to purely tax-based mechanisms.

PV Services focuses precisely on this critical phase: preliminary analysis, application management, activity coordination, and support through to the completion of the process, reducing operational inefficiencies and downtime that almost always translate into costs, with a “turnkey” option and zero hassle.

What is the Conto Termico 3.0 scheme and what does it fund?

The Conto Termico 3.0 incentivizes projects that fall within two main objectives:

improving the energy efficiency of existing buildings;
production of thermal energy from renewable sources.

This means that the incentive does not generically fund a photovoltaic system, but rather supports a project consistent with a measurable improvement in energy performance. The goal is to reduce consumption and promote the use of renewable sources through a technically structured project.

When referring to the Conto Termico 3.0, the project must be designed in line with the mechanism’s objectives. Simply installing a technology is not enough; it is necessary to demonstrate that the project falls within the scope of energy efficiency and renewables defined by the GSE.

Who is the Conto Termico 3.0 aimed at?

The Conto Termico 3.0 is accessible to:

Public Administrations
Third Sector organizations
Private individuals

For companies and organizations, access to the incentive requires a preliminary assessment of three elements: type of building, planned intervention, and compliance with regulatory requirements. Only after this assessment is it possible to structure a solid application suitable for submission to the GSE.

This step is the phase that determines whether the project can reach the disbursement of the photovoltaic incentive without requests for additional documentation or procedural delays.

How to set up a photovoltaic system correctly under the Conto Termico 3.0 scheme

An effective process develops in a sequential and controlled manner.

Preliminary technical assessment
The eligibility of the project is verified and a design configuration consistent with the incentive scheme is defined.
Authorization and documentation management
Applications are prepared and managed in compliance with current regulations and the requirements set by the GSE.
Technical coordination and completion of the process
The project is supported through to the conclusion of the procedure and the actual disbursement of the incentive.

PV Services operates precisely along this sequence:

preliminary analysis
authorization and documentation management
technical coordination
support until disbursement

Conto Termico 3.0 for businesses and the public sector

For companies, the Conto Termico 3.0 is a tool for optimizing energy investments: it allows the initial cost of the project to be reduced and enables more predictable financial planning, thanks to a direct contribution provided by the GSE.

For Public Administrations, the incentive takes on a more strategic role: it can significantly impact cost coverage, up to the cases предусмотренные for full coverage, making projects sustainable that would otherwise weigh entirely on the budget.

In both cases, the critical point remains the same: the project must be technically consistent and the process must be managed without documentation inconsistencies. Only in this way does the contribution become effective rather than remaining a theoretical projection.
