Photovoltaic and Financial 2026: what news is coming soon?

The general approach of the maneuver reflects a limited availability of resources, a condition that pushes the Government to concentrate interventions in sectors considered to be priorities for economic growth. In fact, the most important measures in the energy sector concern the production sector, with the aim of increasing self-production and self-consumption from renewable sources.

Incentives for companies that invest in photovoltaic

For companies, new concessions are introduced dedicated to investments in plants powered by renewable sources. All companies that install systems aimed at increasing energy autonomy have access to the benefits. In the case of photovoltaic, however, there is a strict clause: the modules used must be produced within the European Union and be characterized by high levels of efficiency.

A choice that aims to promote the European supply chain and reduce dependence on non-EU products, in line with recent European guidelines on energy and industrial security.

Photovoltaic and private individuals: few news, some more obligations

The most awaited chapter for many citizens concerns incentives for the domestic installation of photovoltaic systems. The 2026 Financial Statements, however, do not introduce new measures of particular impact.

10-year verification requirement for larger plants

For systems with a power equal to or greater than 11.08 kW, the obligation to verify, every ten years, the correct functioning of the interface protections is introduced. The objective is to ensure security and continuity of performance, especially for systems connected to the network.

Requirement of renewable energy in new and renovated buildings

New buildings must cover at least 60 percent of energy consumption through renewable sources. The requirement also applies to restructuring interventions, albeit with a halved percentage. Photovoltaic is one of the most used technologies to meet this obligation, also thanks to its ability to adapt to buildings of different types.

Contributions for Renewable Energy Communities in small municipalities

The text of the maneuver confirms a non-repayable contribution equal to 40 percent of the expenses incurred for the creation of CER in municipalities with less than 50,000 inhabitants. A measure aimed at supporting collective energy production projects, although it represents a different area than the traditional domestic installation.

Confirmed bonuses: what's left for domestic photovoltaic

The most important aspect for citizens is the confirmation of existing bonuses, without substantial changes.

Bonus renovations: the main tool for domestic photovoltaic

The so-called Home Bonus, or renovation bonus, is also extended to 2026. It provides for:

• deduction of 50 percent of expenses incurred
• Maximum expenditure ceiling of 96,000 euros
• recovery of the deduction in ten years through personal income tax return

The deduction also includes building redevelopment interventions that include the installation of photovoltaic systems. The possibility of reducing the recovery period of the deduction from ten to five years is being studied, but the Parliament will have to evaluate the sustainability of the proposal.

For second homes, on the other hand, the deduction drops to 36 percent, with a maximum spending limit of 48,000 euros.

Thermal Account 3.0: targeted benefits, not for everyone

Another potentially relevant tool is the Thermal Account 3.0. However, the concessions provided here concern interventions aimed at improving the overall energy efficiency of the building. The simple installation of a photovoltaic system intended to reduce bill costs remains excluded, thus limiting its applicability for many owners.

A 2026 without revolutions: photovoltaic remains affordable, but with limited resources

The overall picture highlights a cautious approach: no new structural deduction for individuals and obligations that, while aimed at improving the quality of the plants, do not affect installation costs.

This scenario risks slowing down domestic investments, especially at a time when increased energy consumption and price volatility make self-production increasingly attractive. In the short term, a large part of the public resources dedicated to renewable energy will continue to be focused on projects supported by the PNRR, often linked to public infrastructure or industrial interventions.

What to do then? The alternative of shared solar parks

If 2026 does not offer new direct incentives for those who want to install a photovoltaic system at home, there are still alternative ways for those who want to reduce their energy bill or invest in the solar energy sector.

How do shared solar parks work

I shared solar parks allow you to buy one or more shares of a large photovoltaic system, built in areas with high radiation. The energy produced is sold and the revenues generated by the subscribed shares are paid to the members, helping to offset the costs of the electricity bill and, in many cases, generating a competitive return compared to traditional financial instruments.

The entire process, from membership to management, takes place through authorized digital platforms. It is not necessary to install anything on your home and there are no technical or maintenance costs borne by the user.

An opportunity for those who cannot install panels on their building

Many buildings, especially in historic centers or in condominiums with structural constraints, do not allow the installation of solar panels. Shared photovoltaic parks solve this problem by offering indirect but effective access to solar energy.

In this area, several operators are developing solutions that combine transparency, technology and strategic plant location. These include GridShare, engaged in shared solar park projects designed to maximize energy production through advanced technologies and sites with optimal exposure. Participation takes place online and allows you to invest adjustable amounts, making photovoltaic accessible even to those with small budgets.

A medium-long term investment

Joining shared solar parks should be considered as a medium-long term investment: it offers potential stable returns, tax benefits when linked to innovative startups and a form of direct participation in the growth of renewable energy in Italy.

Conclusion

The 2026 Financial Statement confirms a prudent line on the subject of domestic photovoltaic, with few news for individuals and incentives focused on businesses. In the absence of new tools dedicated to families, evaluating alternatives such as shared solar parks can represent a concrete solution to continue focusing on solar energy without facing the burden of a domestic system.
