The October edition of pv magazine, out tomorrow, has a focus on the solar and storage trends evident in India, particularly in the manufacturing segment; considers the boom in big utility-scale batteries in Australia; and takes time to examine PV market developments in nations as off the beaten track as Iran and Pakistan.

Sicily authorized the most solar capacity at 1.31 GW followed by Puglia with 923.1 MW and Lazio with 412.2 MW. In terms of power, however, the numbers are quite balanced with 2.73 GW of PV projects having obtained the green light through AU and 2.35 MW through PAS.

The Region that granted the highest amount of AU is Sicily (36) while Puglia stands out for the number of PAS (148) surpassing by far Emilia-Romagna (65) and Abruzzo (54).

The regions that so far this year haven't authorized any PV plant are Trentino-Alto Adige and Valle d'Aosta.
