Tech/Engineering - Energy / Power Generation / Energy saving techniques
Italian term or phrase: unitamente
I understand that unitamente means together with but I don't see how that is the case in this sentence, any suggestions? (This is a magazine article I'm translating into English on green energy techniques employed by companies)

La seconda parte degli interventi ha riguardato direttamente l’ottimizzazione della messa a punto del “motore” per la produzione di energia da fonte fotovoltaica, sfruttando dove possibile le opportunità di scambio sul posto e vendita di energia con la società elettrica locale, unitamente alle tariffe incentivanti del GSE.

Explanation:
Seems pretty clear to me, that the opportunities for exchange and the favorable pricing are used together for the rationalization of the process

Take a look at Jim's comment. No motor is installed, but rather a "driver" or the mechanism that brings about the development and the exchange that is fine tuned to better produce power from the PV sources. As for the rest, there isn't enough context to really say.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks for your response Cedric - in that case would you agree with my unpolished translation?: The second phase of modification related directly to optimisation in which a “motor” was installed to produce energy from photovoltaic sources. Where possible the opportunity to profit from net metering and selling energy off to local energy companies, together with incentivised tariffs set by the Gestore dei Servizi Elettrici (GSE) was taken.

Reference information:
"The second part directly concerned improving the "driver" for the .....
exploiting opportunities for feed-in and sales of electricity to the local electricity company together with the incentive tarrifs from the Energy Services Operator."
With photovoltaic you can sell electricity you don't use (feed in) and (unitamente) you get special tariff deals from the electricity board.
