Solar power in Italy
OverviewEarly developmentsSolar potentialPhotovoltaicsEnergy policiesConcentrated solar power
Italy has long sought to develop renewable energy resources due to having few domestic fossil fuel resources. Around 1850 wood, charcoal and straw were the main energy sources for many European countries. In Italy, hydro energy from the Alps made industrialisation possible at the end of the 19th century. In 1914, 74% of the Italian electric power came from hydroelectricity. By the early 1990s there were already pioneers of solar energy in Italy. One was the chemist Giacomo Ciamician
