Italy limits solar tax break to EU-made HJT and tandem modules

Italy’s 2026 budget law limits its “Iperammortamento2026” fiscal incentive to European-made heterojunction (HJT) and tandem perovskite solar panels. Experts say the move gives Italian manufacturer 3Sun a strategic advantage and warn that the exclusion of tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) and back-contact (BC) technologies could distort competition and create market inefficiencies.

Pioneering the future of bifacial back contact solar technology

Uncategorized / By Siim

This shift is driven by the technology’s unique advantages, notably its potential to deliver higher efficiencies, exceptional reliability and a lower overall cost compared to traditional front contact and other newer solutions like perovskite tandem cells, which still require years before gigawatt-scale commercialisation. However, BC technology offers a promising platform for 3-terminal and 4-terminal tandem
