Since August 1 the Italian grid agency GSE has paid extra subsidies for projects installed with 60% European components, prompting a rush on certification agencies.

Emmvee chief executive Steffen Graf said the certification news was “no surprise”.
The competitive advantage for European manufacturers “can help to strengthen the European market and to create equal competitive conditions,” he added.
