Talesun Solar announces the supply of solar modules for Turkey’s largest hybrid solar-hydro project.

A first in Turkey

Talesun Solar announces the supply of 80MW of photovoltaic panels for a site next to a 510MW hydroelectric plant. In addition, the hybrid project benefits from a grid connection.

Located in the province of Bingöl, the hybrid project uses solar modules with half-cut technology. The project occupies approximately 120 hectares of land free of the hydroelectric plant. The objective of the project is to meet Turkey’s growing demand for clean energy.

With the incorporation of the solar power plant, the hybrid solar-hydro project becomes the first of its kind in Turkey. The 80MW hybrid project is expected to generate 127GWh of clean electricity per year. Thus the project is equivalent to reducing CO2 emissions by 85,000 tons each year.

An ambitious partnership

Talesun Solar works closely with Cengiz Energy to contribute to the Turkish solar industry. The company signed photovoltaic module supply agreements with Cengiz Energy totaling 180MW for hybrid solar projects. All of these projects involved rooftop installations.

Ahmet Cengiz, chairman of Cengiz Holding Energy Group, says:

“This is the first hybrid power plant in Turkey and the second in the world. Lower Kaleköy or Aşağı Kaleköy was the sixth largest private system of its kind before adding the solar plant.”

Mr. Shuguang Dong, President of Talesun Solar, states:

“We are honored and delighted to have been chosen by Cengiz Energy for the largest hybrid project in Turkey. Over the past few years, Talesun solar has maintained its strong presence on the leading Turkish solar module brands with a solid customer base. We are confident that this project will open the doors for further development of solar energy projects in Turkey and other Eurasian countries.”

Thus, the Turkish grid operator announces that about 398MW of new photovoltaic systems are being added to the grid.

All of these additions bring the country’s total installed solar capacity to 7.6GW. In addition, Turkey is accelerating investments in solar energy. The country’s annual photovoltaic installation is expected to reach over 1.4 GW.
