Istanbul Floating Solar (Floating PV) Installation – Tuzla

Floating solar PV applications for Tuzla shipyards and private water surfaces; project-based engineering, free preliminary survey and turnkey EPC process.

For floating solar on Tuzla and private water surface applications, the project type requires a survey and engineering approval. The reference radiation for Tuzla is 1,400 kWh/m²; at shipyard and heavy industry sites, the water surface, anchoring and cable route are examined separately in the feasibility study.

With an annual solar energy potential of 1,350-1,480 kWh/m², Istanbul offers solutions suited to the dynamics of a megacity.

Grid-Connected On-Grid / Rooftop Solar PV Installation: Reduce your electricity bills with solar energy. Generate your own electricity and lower your energy costs with rooftop and ground-mounted solar PV solutions.

The annual solar potential reference for İstanbul is 1,350–1,480 kWh/m². After the local survey, panels, inverter and storage are sized according to need.

Frequently asked questions

How do solar energy systems work?
Solar panels work by converting sunlight into electrical energy. The energy from the panels is turned into usable electricity by inverters. Surplus energy can be stored in batteries or fed into the electricity grid.

In which areas can solar energy be installed?
We install in many different areas such as gardens, rooftops, caravans and fields. We carry out a site survey for each area and offer the most efficient system design.

What is the cost of installing a solar energy system?
The cost varies depending on the system capacity, the characteristics of the installation area and the equipment used. With a free site survey, we carry out a cost analysis suited to your needs.

How much savings do solar energy systems provide?
With the right installation, you can significantly reduce your electricity bill and earn income by selling surplus energy to the grid.
