8. CLASSIFICATION OF PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEM IN ITALIAN REGIONS This is the classification of PVS per inhabitant in the italian regions (Wp/ab.) The leader is Trentino Alto Adige (16,9 Wp per inhabitant), followed by Umbria (10,1 Wp) and Marche (5,12); fourth is Emilia Romagna, fifth Puglia. Campania is at bottom of classification.

9. 9 Source - www.siciliaonline.it The Province of Syracuse, is the Suothernmost of Italy. It has the best solar esposition

10. Because of sunlight enjoyed by the area in Priolo Gargallo (Syracuse), by next May the solar power plant "Archimedes" will be operational. Equipped with a system of parabolic mirrors that, like sunflowers, are able to capture solar radiation continuously, the plant extends over an area of 40 hectares and will be able to power a city of 20 thousand inhabitants.
