About
Greenfield Solar is a small Italian consultancy with one job: making sure an investor arriving in this market ends up in front of professionals who have already taken projects through to connection, rather than in front of whoever answered first.
Who you are dealing with
The consultancy is run by Vallorini, from Torgiano in Umbria, and works across Italy. It was set up after years of consultancy work in the Italian renewables market — long enough to learn which professionals are worth an investor’s time, what a greenfield site has to have on paper before it is worth a conversation, and how an entry into this market usually goes wrong.
Being small is the point rather than an apology for it. You get one person who knows your file, answering in English, instead of a relationship manager forwarding your questions to somebody you never speak to.
Where the capability sits
Not here. The technical work is done by established Italian firms, each operating under its own professional responsibility, insurance and engagement terms.
We sit in one place only: between an investor who does not know this market and the firms that work in it every day.
Getting a project started
Assessment of the land, what it is classified as, how it can be made available, and whether the connection point makes the rest of the exercise worth doing.
Development and authorisation
The authorisation route that applies to the size and location of the project, and the work of getting through it.
Building and connecting
Construction and grid connection, by firms that have plants already running and connected to show for it.
Ask each firm for its own record when you speak to them. A reference is worth what its source is worth, and the source here is the firm, not us.
What we hold ourselves to
- Projects are discussed anonymously until the parties have agreed how confidential material is handled.
- No project is described as further along than its documents show.
- When a request falls outside what we cover, we say so on the first reply rather than on the third call.
- We are not investment advisers and we do not place or promote financial instruments. What we do, and in what order, is set out under how we work.
This website is not an offer to sell or a solicitation to buy any security, financial instrument or participation, and nothing on it constitutes investment advice. Professional services are provided by the appointed firms under their own responsibility and engagement terms.
