Solar power installed capacity increased by 1,610 MW, compared to the end of 2021. There are 11,427 power generation plants in Türkiye and the number of unlicensed and licensed small power producers (SPPs) reached 9,353 (TEİAŞ, 2022). With solar PV installations exceeding 9 GW in less than 10 years, the PV panel production market has also expanded.
Türkiye At the end of December 2022, total installed power capacity in Türkiye reached 103,809 MW, out of which PV plants accounted for 9,425 MW. The amount of solar PV projects under completion are estimated to be 1-1.5 GW. This capacity can be considered in addition to the installed capacity in 2022.
Solar PV has been suggested at public charging stations. Turkey's greenhouse gas emissions attributable to solar PV are estimated at around 30 g Co2eq /kWh for utility scale and 30–60 g for rooftop; emissions for coal and natural gas are over 1000 g and about 400 g respectively.
An Astronergy spokesperson said Türkiye “is a place with a lot of potential in solar energy, therefore, Astronergy's high quality PV modules will start production in the Turkish market. This will be the first direct investment [in the country from a] top six, tier-1 PV module maker.” What next?
