What is the Gestore Servizi Energetici (GSE) and why is it important?

The Gestore Servizi Energetici (GSE) is the Italian body responsible for promoting and incentivizing energy production from renewable sources. The GSE directly handles administrative paperwork, offering tools such as the new GSE application and specific web services, such as the Portaltermico, to facilitate the management and monitoring of incentives.

GSE practices

GSE practices for photovoltaics: what they are and how they work

GSE paperwork, or more precisely GSE paperwork for photovoltaics, is required to access incentives provided by the Italian government, such as the "Scambio sul Posto" and the "GSE conto energia." Simply put, the "Scambio sul Posto" allows you to offset the energy that your system produces but that you do not use immediately in your home, by selling it to the national grid and thus getting a GSE refund or contribution in your bill.

Let's take a concrete example:

  • If your home PV system generates more energy than your immediate consumption, this energy is fed into the grid and the GSE makes the
    related payments. Monitoring your GSE payments today is very easy via the GSE Customer Area or through the convenient GSE app. Those who take advantage of
    of the Shortfall can save up to 60 percent of their annual bill on average.

Requirements for accessing GSE incentives and economic contributions

To access GSE incentives, it is essential to meet certain administrative and technical requirements, including:

  • Have a regularly installed and certified home photovoltaic system.
  • Submit the necessary documentation correctly.
  • Rely on GSE-approved technologies and materials.

Magma Solar directly and fully manages GSE photovoltaic paperwork, ensuring that you have quick access to incentives and any related GSE contributions
available.

Photovoltaic connection: timing and simplified process

Simplified procedure:

It is designed for small-scale, low-impact systems (e.g., photovoltaic up to 200 kW), installed on roofs of buildings or above-ground structures, and intended for customers with already active low or medium-voltage withdrawal points. This process is accessed when:

- the power of the system does not exceed 200 kW;
- you apply for access to mechanisms such as on-site exchange or energy transfer;
- there are no other production facilities on the same withdrawal point.

In essence, it is a more streamlined and quicker process because it is intended for standardized situations, with no particular
technical or urban planning complexities.

Ordinary procedure

Instead, it applies to more complex situations, such as:

- The creation of a new point of connection to the network;
- the upgrading of an existing connection;
- the operation of plant lots on contiguous land, even if separate, but always falling under a unitary project.

Conto Termico 2025: a new opportunity for your home

But how exactly does the Conto Termico work?
This tool, designed to promote energy efficiency and the use of renewable sources, is about to be enhanced with the introduction of the Conto Termico 3.0, effective January 2025. It is a concrete economic incentive, providing non-repayable grants with a percentage ranging from 40 percent to 60 percent intended for those who carry out interventions to improve the energy performance of their property, both in the public and private sectors.

The big news in the Conto Termico 2025 is the increase in the reimbursement percentage, which will be able to reach in many cases up to 100 percent of the expenses incurred, especially for school buildings, health care facilities, public buildings located in small municipalities, and, more generally, for all those interventions in line with the European "Green Homes" directive.

Incentives cover, among other things, the installation of photovoltaic systems with storage, charging stations for electric vehicles, replacement of air conditioning systems with more efficient and sustainable solutions, as well as more structural interventions such as building insulation or improved lighting. Reimbursement is made directly to the beneficiary's bank account through the GSE's Portaltermico portal, with a streamlined and transparent procedure.

FAQ - Frequently asked questions about GSE paperwork and domestic photovoltaic systems.

General information about the GSE

GSE (Gestore Servizi Energetici) is the Italian entity responsible for promoting, managing and providing incentives for energy production from renewable sources, including photovoltaics.

GSE stands for Gestore Servizi Energetici.

What is the GSE file and what is it for

The GSE file is a mandatory administrative procedure to apply for incentives such as the Power Exchange. It allows you to obtain refunds for the energy produced and fed into the grid by your PV system.

It is an incentive that allows you to receive financial reimbursement for the energy produced by your plant and not consumed immediately, which is sold to the national grid.

Who handles GSE paperwork

Generally, the paperwork is done by the company installing the PV system, such as Magma Solar, which handles the procedures entirely.

The request is made by the licensed installer or the appointed technician following up on behalf of the system owner.

The installation of the production meter is done through the power grid operator (e.g., ENEL), subject to the installer's request.

Documents needed for GSE file

The main documents are:

  • ID and social security number of the owner
  • Data sheet and declaration of conformity of the system
  • Electricity supply contract
  • Attestation of acceptance of the plant

Magma Solar directly collects all the necessary documentation.

Costs of GSE paperwork

The GSE file for photovoltaics has variable costs between 250 and 600 euros, depending on the characteristics of the system. Magma Solar clearly indicates these costs already at the quote stage.

Connection costs are defined by the network operator and generally range between 150 and 400 euros.

Activation and connection times

Connection is usually made within 30-60 days after completion of installation.

Generally ENEL makes the connection within about 20-30 days after the request.

Procedures and communications to the GSE

The application is submitted online through the GSE's Customer Area portal. Magma Solar directly handles the entire procedure for the customer.

You can communicate through the Customer Area portal on the GSE website or by calling the toll-free number 800.16.16.

By accessing your account in the Customer Area of the GSE portal, you can check the status of your submitted files.

Economic incentives and reimbursements

GSE reimbursement is by bank credit or directly in the bill, based on the energy fed into the grid by the system.

On average, the reimbursement varies between €0.10 and €0.15/kWh, with annual updates.

Refunds are generally disbursed quarterly, with the final balance by June of the year following production.

Technical changes and mandatory reporting

It is mandatory to register the system with the GSE within 60 days of activation. Magma Solar handles this step directly.

It is mandatory to report any significant technical changes (such as changing inverters or panels) within 60 days of implementation.

GSE Customer Area

This is the online portal dedicated to GSE users, which can be used to track paperwork and payments. It can be accessed via registration or SPID on the official website www.gse.it.

Regulatory news since 2024

Starting in 2024, the PIT will be gradually replaced with new forms of incentives that are more geared toward self-consumption. Existing plants retain the incentive until it expires.

Assistance and useful contacts

The GSE can be contacted through the toll-free number 800.16.16, available on weekdays.

Magma Solar offers comprehensive assistance in handling paperwork and communications with grid operators and the GSE

GSE Thermal Account

The Conto Termico is an incentive administered by the GSE for energy efficiency interventions and thermal systems from renewable sources. Magma Solar can support you in this procedure as well.
