Secretary General of Solar Energy Industrialists and Industry Association (GENSED) Hakan ErkanWith the commissioning of rooftop, field and hybrid power plants, Turkey will increase its solar energy installed capacity by the end of the year. 20 thousand megawatts (20 GW) announced that it will increase it. This capacity is approximately Electricity needs of 10 million households It is stated that it is at a satisfactory level.

The target is 120 thousand megawatts in 2035

Hakan Erkan, 2035 until the year sun and wind in total energy 120 thousand megawatts He stated that an installed capacity is targeted. To achieve this goal 4-5 thousand every year megawatt capacity Erkan pointed out that Turkey continues to rise in the world rankings in this field.

Erkan, “The installed power of solar power plants, which was 14 thousand megawatts at the beginning of this year, will exceed 20 thousand megawatts by the end of the year with the commissioning of rooftop, field and hybrid power plants. There is an increase of almost 6 thousand megawatts.” made his assessment.

Erkan, Renewable Energy Resource Area (YEKA) projects foreign currency based purchase He emphasized that the warranty makes a great contribution to the sector. Stating that long-term foreign exchange-based purchase guarantees balance the inflationary effects, Erkan underlined that this regulation encourages new investments. However, storage He also pointed out that technologies need to be developed and reminded the importance of storage solutions for the sustainable increase in renewable energy capacity.

A new era in unlicensed projects

Erkan stated that the “5.1.j” new connection type proposals they submitted to the Ministry due to the transformer capacity constraint in unlicensed projects were put on the agenda, so that solar power plants to be created at the same connection point for self-consumption without energizing the grid could be installed without being subject to the existing transformer capacity constraint, and that this situation is important for the sector. attracted attention.

Meanwhile agriculture solar power New regulations regarding projects are also eagerly awaited in the sector. Stating that three pilot projects currently being carried out for trial purposes are continuing successfully, Erkan emphasized that the increase in legislative regulations and clean energy and agricultural production together is very important for the future.

Türkiye stands out in solar panel production

Erkan underlined that the feasibility of solar energy projects depends on financing opportunities and shortening of permit periods, and stated that after the necessary regulations are made, both YEKA and storage solar energy projects will be put into operation much more quickly.

On the other hand, according to the inventory of the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources, in Turkey annual production capacity approximately 44.5 gigawatts which is 75 photovoltaic panel manufacturers is available.

Three of these panel manufacturers are currentlycellproduction It carries out. Other manufacturers also produce panels by supplying cells from abroad. Total capacity of the three facilities in question 6.1 gigawatts per year It is at the level. “Monofacial” and “bifacial” solar panels are widely produced in Turkey. Turkey’s solar power plant installed capacity has grown by 130 percent in 2 and a half years.
