4 Frequently Asked Questions about "Izmir Turkey promotes the construction of solar panels on roofs"

Can Türkiye expand its rooftop solar capacity?

Türkiye's rooftop solar potential is over 120 GW, ten times its current installed solar capacity and enough to meet 45% of electricity consumption. This study considers potential for expanding solar rooftop capacity in Türkiye, alongside potential benefits and routes towards policy implementation.

What is Turkey's rooftop solar potential?

Türkiye's rooftop solar potential is close to ten times its current installed solar capacity. The top three provinces for total rooftop solar potential are Istanbul (10.4 GW), Ankara (10.1 GW) and Izmir (9.3 GW), the provinces with the highest population.

Will Türkiye's policies lead to a rapid increase in rooftop solar installations?

In fact, the installed rooftop capacity doubled for two consecutive years and reached 3 GW in 2022. Despite being far behind in rooftop solar power potential, Türkiye's policies could likewise lead to a rapid increase in rooftop solar installations.
