Turkey has a sunny climate, ideal for producing solar power. Solar potential is highest in the south-east of the country, and high-voltage DC transmission from that region to Istanbul has been suggested. Turkey''s average annual solar irradiance is over 1 million terrawatt-hours, that is about 1500 kW·h/(m ·yr) or over 4 kW·h/(m ·d). Covering less than 5% of the country''s land area with solar pa
In addition, PV projects installed with domestic PV modules in Turkey will receive an additional five-year feed-in tariff subsidy (FIT) of 0.2880 TL/kWh.
Solar power may also be preferable to other renewable energy sources such as wind power and hydroelectricity because wind speed and rainfall can be low in summer, which is when
As a result, solar power now provides the cheapest source of electricity in Türkiye, with a generation cost of about $43 per MWh — less than half that of coal-fired power, which
Under that rule, solar panels and mounting systems sourced from abroad are no longer considered eligible expenses under Türkiye''s investment incentive program—unless
