Interior renovations and plant installations: Tecnogreen puts the turbo into gear

After some 20 years of entrepreneurial activity in the construction and plant engineering fields, Gianni Lepore founded Tecnogreen with Cristiano Anella in 2020, specialising in one of the areas he has developed over the years: the installation of solar systems. Today the company ranks first in the energy and utilities category (and 16th overall) in the 2025 Growth Leaders ranking compiled by Sole 24 Ore and Statista. With a turnover in 2020 of €127,000, the company closed 2023 at €3.4 million in revenues (and a forecast for 2024 along the same lines, if not with a slight slowdown that could be due to the reorganisation of the market). It recorded an average annual growth of 199.5%, while the workforce grew from 1 to 14 employees.

"We were in a sector that benefited from the Superbonus opportunities, which for us essentially translated into the installation of solar panels on residential units. However, almost a year after the end of the work linked to those incentives, which we managed according to the timing of the bonus, we continue to have many requests: the market is going in that direction, despite the physiological levelling off,' explains Lepore, who adds: 'We manage to combine the construction part of interior renovation with that of plant engineering, having in-house the skills for both. In addition, we do everything ourselves, without external support: this allows us to handle requests more quickly, and this rewards us.

Based in San Cesareo, in the province of Rome, where it has its offices and a warehouse, the company operates mainly within Lazio, but in recent years has also worked in Liguria, Tuscany, and Umbria. As for the type of interventions requested, they are no longer limited to roof-mounted photovoltaic systems alone: "There is often demand for coupling with heat pumps, for savings on the gas bill as well, or with batteries. There is also demand for solar thermal systems for hot water. The thermal part is developing a lot,' Lepore notes. For 2025, he expects a continuity with the current demand to be able to move towards growth: "After the impasse of the first months of the year, from August to now we are handling one installation per day. With the expectation that the tax deduction for interventions will be reduced from 50 to 36 per cent, those who were previously undecided are now no longer.
