- (a) for the realisation of photovoltaic systems:
- purchase and laying of photovoltaic modules, invertersmanagement software, further system components;
- storage systems;
- supply and installation of the materials needed to carry out the interventions;
- network connection costs
- up to a maximum limit of € 1,500.00/kWp for the installation of photovoltaic panels, also in consideration of the overall size of the plant to be constructed and the related economies of scale, and up to a further € 1,000.00/kWh where storage systems are also installed. In any case, the maximum eligible expenditure for storage systems may not exceed EUR 100,000.00. Where electric recharging devices for sustainable mobility and agricultural machinery are installed, expenditure up to a maximum eligible limit of €30,000.00 may be recognised, in addition to the above-mentioned ceilings, in accordance with the amounts and quantities that will be set out in detail in the subsequent Notice;

Value added tax (VAT) is an eligible cost only if it is not recoverable in accordance with the relevant national legislation. This amount must, however, be accurately tracked for each project in the management information systems.
The construction of photovoltaic systems is permitted on roofs that are also different from those on which asbestos (and, where applicable, eternit) is being removed, provided that they belong to the same building.
Reclamation is also permitted on surfaces larger than those of the installation of photovoltaic systems, as long as they belong to the same building.
Projects must start after the application is submitted by the beneficiary entity. All expenses are eligible from the moment the beneficiary entity submits its application
