Event – SolarTech Turkey 2014

Turkey is the sixth largest electricity market in Europe, and one of the fastest
growing globally. Increasing electricity generation from renewable energy
sources is one of the country’s priorities in order to meet the growing
electricity demand and diversify away from expensive, imported fuel sources.
Turkey is aiming to connect to the grid 10 GW of solar capacity alone by
2020.

Solar energy is one of the most promising sources
because of the Turkey’s climate. It has been calculated that Turkey receives
sunlight equivalent to roughly 11 thousand times the amount of electricity
generated in Turkey in 1996. Turkey has an average 2640 hours of sunshine per
annum and the average solar flux exceeds 5.8 GJ/m2 annually. Clearly, both
photovoltaic and solar-thermal systems could be used to great effect. Use of
solar thermal is already widespread. In 1995 it was calculated that solar
thermal generated 52,000 tonnes-of-oil-equivalent of heat. Indications suggest
that this could increase six-fold in the next 15 years. The potential for PV is
virtually unlimited, and the price for these systems is declining rapidly.
